GILLESPIE'S FIRST EARLY NECK CORN.— For more than twenty years we have placed 

 this corn in the hands of the largest truckers and market gardeners over the United States. Each 

 year our sales of the same have very materially increased. It has always proven in their hands to be 

 the VERY FIRST coR.v that they can bring to market. It is so hardy that it can readily be planted as soon 

 as the ground is in good working order, and will, from the day of its germi- 

 nation, hurry forward to meet the early demand for fresh corn, which is 

 always very keen, and causes this delicious, attractive and superior corn 

 to bring profitable prices. Ear, 3c; doz. ears, 25c; packet. ,sc; pt , :oc;

 sirable canning variety. Doz.. 40c.; pt., loc; qt., 15c; gal., 40c; peck,

EARLY PREMO SUGAR CORN.— This new sweet is eariier than 

 either the -\dams or Corey; the ears are larger and grain sweeter. It ma 

 tures in from fifty-six to sixty days. This gain of time is very important, 

 as it catches the very early market prices. The ears are from five to seven 

 inches long and of fine appearance. Pt., ifx?; qt., 20c; gal., 50c; peck, 75c; 

 bushel. $2. 50.

 and sweeter. Pt., loc; qt., 15c; gal., 50c; peck, 75c; bushel, $2.50; per

EXTRA EARLY EVERGREEN.— For many years the Stowell's Ever- 

 green has been the most popular sweet corn. A grower knowing this has 

 repeatedly made selections for earliness, and the result is the "Extra Early 

 Evergreen." It ripens about ten days earlier and produces ears a trifle shorter than the Stowell's but the quality is equally as good. 

 It is a splendid variety to come in between the early and late sorts, and is destined to become as popular as the Stowell's Evergreen. 

 Pt., loc; qt., 15c; gal., 50c; peck, 7.5c; bushel, S2.50.

 from planting. The ears are large, eight to ten inches in length, the majority having twelve rows to a cob. Kernels pure white, very 

 sweet and tender. It is also a most productive variety and will prove a valuable acquisition to every home or market gardener who 

 plants it. Pt., loc; qt., 15c; ga!., 50c; peck, 75c; bushel, $2. 50. 



BURPEE'S WHITE EVERGREEN CORN.— The most valuable sweet corn for main crop. It has the ideal qualities of the 

 Stowell's Evergreen com, only it is pure white, making it the most desirable corn for market and home gardeners. Pt., loc; qt., 15c; 

 gal., 50c; peck. Si. 00; bushel, S3. 50. 



STOWELL'S EVERQREE.N SUGAR. — This is not only the most celebrated, but the most popular of all the varieties, although 

 not an early sort. It is, without any exception, the best for table use of the entire lot, although quite late. Some may observe they 

 have tried it and found it not equal to the ordinary sugar. To such we say you have not had the pure stock, as no variety degenerates 

 so quickly, without the grower is exceedingly careful. We have very frequently observed samples sent out by some seed establishments 

 as Stowell's Evergreen, that were composed of several varieties, caused by being grown in the vicinity. Pt., loc; qt., 15c; gal., 50c; 

 peck, 90c; bushel, $3. 00; per doz., 50c. 



LARGE LATE MA.MMOTH SUGAR CORN. — The largest of all the sugar varieties, producing perfect ears of immen.se size 

 having from twelve to sixteen rows. A fine market variety, and follows the New England eight-rowed sugar in ripening; sweet and 

 delicious. Pt., ir>c; qt , 15c; gal., 50c; peck, gcx; bushel, S3. 00; per doz., 50c. 



COUNTRY GENTLE.MEN'S SWEET CORN.— The deep shoe-peg kernels are placed irregulariy, but compactly upon the cob. 

 It is very prolific, generally bearing three to five ears to the stalk, and matures a little before Stowell's Evergreen, being sweeter and 

 more sugary to the taste even than that well-known standard of quality. Pt., loc; qt., 1.5c; gal., 50c; peck, 90c; bushel, $3.00. 



RICE POP CORN FOR POPPING OR SEED.— A very handsome variety; ears short; kernels long, pointed; very prolific; no 

 variety of pop com is superior to this for popping. loc. per pound.
