SWEET CORN. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN— Every market gardener and every pri- 

 vate gardener in the land knows this grand old sweet corn. It is in high 

 esteem for main crop or late use, being in special favor with the truck 

 ers and canners. My stock of this variety is of my own growing and 

 I know it is very fine. John Xekirk of Ohio, says : "Tour Stowell's 

 Evergreen sweet corn was fine*' John B. Nunn of Virginia writes : 

 "The Stowell's Evergreen corn I bought of you last spring did real 

 well." Mr Seth Larabee. of Ohio, writes : "The Stowell's Evergreen 

 sweet corn I bought of you last spring can't be beat. It is away head." 

 If you plant sweet corn for home use or for market, you should not 

 fail to get some of my Stowell's Evergreen. Pkt. 5c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt.

COUNTRY GENTLEMEN.— This is a mid season sweetcora, the ears 

 are of quite large size and frequently three on a stalk ; the grains are 

 irregularly set on the ear ; the cob is remarkably small, giving great 

 depth to the compressed grains. For delicious flavor and sweetness, I 

 do not know of anything that can surpass this variety ; I recommend 

 it especially to private gardeners or for choice retail trade. This vari- 

 ety is my preference for my own table. Pkt. 10c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt. 35c. ;

EXTRA EARLY WHITE COREY.— A new extra early variety with 

 about twelve rows on the ear and larger than the old variety; its beau- 

 tiful grains are large and Avhite and the quality is exceedingly good; 

 very nice market variety, it having large showy ears and is fine for 

 first earl j- for the family or market; good bearer. Pkt. 10c. ; pt. 20c. ;

FIRST OF ALL.— This corn is ready for the table from three days 

 to a week earlier than Corey, making it very desirable not only for the 

 family garden but for the market, for the earliest corn always brings 

 the highest price. The ears are of medium size, well filled with large 

 grains to the tip ; many of the ears contain from ten to twelve rows. 

 In habit of growth it is rather more dwarf than the Corey, although 

 similar in appearance ; very tender and sweet. _ Pkt. 10c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt.

DENVER'S HALF LONG.— This variety is well adapted to all soils

 half long in shape, somewhat stump rooted and of rich, dark orange 

 color. This variety will probably yield a greater bulk and weight. 

 having greater length of root than any other carrot now grown: forty 

 tons per acre have been grown and a yield of twenty or twenty-five 

 tons is not uncommon. It a very popular and successful carrot. " Pkt.
