LATE VARIETIES 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 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, un- 

 less the grower is exceed- 

 ingly careful. We have very 

 frequently observed sam- 

 ples sent out by some seed 

 establishments as Stowell's 

 Evergreen, that were com- 

 posed of several varieties, 

 caused by being grown in 

 the vicinity. Pkt., 5 and 

 10c. ; pt.. 25c.; qt., 50c. ; 

 gaL. $1.50; pk., $2.75; bu.. 

 $10.nO: per dozen, $1.00. 



LATE M.4.MM0TH. A 

 rather late variety on ac- 

 count of its immense size, 



producing the largest ears of any variety. These measure up to 14 inches in length, 

 and are well Oiled with large broad white kernels, which are sweet, tender and delicious. 

 UsuaUy there are 16 to 18 rows to the ear. The stalks are very large, about eight feet 

 high and productive. Packet, oc. and 10c. ; pt., 20c.; qt., 35c.; 4 qts., $1.25; % bush., $2.50; 

 bush., $10.00; ears per dozen, $1.00. 



RICE POP CORN FOR POPPING OR SEED. A very handsome variety; ears short; 

 kernels long, pointed; very prolific; no variety of pop corn is superior to this for popping. 

 10c. per lb. 



FIELD CORN 



HICKORY KING. Broad large. 

 white grain, specially adapted to poor 

 ground; grows 2 to 3 ears to the stalk. 

 Ft., 15c. ; qt., 25c.; gal., .50c.; pk., 90c.; 

 bush., $3.00. 



MA3DI0TH GOLDEN BEAUTY 

 CORN. Large yellow grain; fine size 

 ears; very small cobs. Ft.. 15c.; qt., 

 30c.; pk., $1.15; bush., $3..50. 



stowell's ETergreen 



CHOICE TYHITE DENT CORN. 



Long narrow grain; large fodder; very 

 prolific; large ears, small cob. Ft., 15c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $1.15; bush., 

 $3.50. 



BOONE COOTY WHITE CORN. A pure white corn on a white 

 cob. Not a red cob in the lot. Ears average over twelve inches. Not 

 slender Hke so much of the long corn, but big in proportion. Very deep 

 grain, not overly wide. Rows generaDy 20, sometimes 22 or 24. A per- 

 fect shape. That is the striking thing about it — big, long ears, beau- 

 tiful shape, perfect butts and tips, and deep grains. Grains fit very 

 tightly together, showing a square rather than a rounded top. Stalk 

 very strong and of medium height. Ears always lop over, but shanks 

 are not long enough to blow off easily. Season about 110 days. Ripens 

 in plenty of time in this latitude and 100 miles north. Compared with 

 other varieties it is about two inches longer, better shape, better 

 grain and dries out better. 



Too much care cannot be given to the growing of Corn. In Sugar 

 Com for table use care should be exercised that the seed be Northern 

 and Eastern ffrown, because you get better yield and sweeter corn. 

 In field com that which has been acclimated to the locality, and that 

 care has been used in selection of the seed stock. Why produce 50 

 bushels to the acre when with the same work and same fertiUzers you 

 can grow from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre? 180 bushels have been 

 grown to the acre with special care and fertilizers, but this is unusual. 

 When corn is bringing from 70c. to 80c. a bushel, the difference between 

 50 and 100 bushels means a difference of from $35.00 to $40.00 to each 

 acre. The present war means high prices for our corn for at least 

 another year. Ft., 1.5c.; qt., 30c.; pk., $1.15; bush., 56 lbs., $3.50.
