GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES.

l^arly Yellow Canada. A long eight-rowed vari- 

 ety, very early, and is planted in both the field and gar- 

 den. It does well here. 



I^arge White Flint. A very popular variety with 

 gardeners and amateurs. It is planted here for table use 

 principally, but like the Golden Dent, makes an excellent 

 kind for field culture after it has been planted here for two 

 or three years. 



First in the Market Sugar Corn. A new vRriety 

 of Sugar Corn for which we claim to be the earliest in the 

 market. It is fully two weeks earlier than Extra E^rly 

 Crosby and nearly a week earlier than any Corn. It is a 

 good producer, more prolific than Extra Early Crosby's, 

 the ears are somewhat larger and the kernel of a pale, pink 

 ish color, some of the ears run entirely white, while others 

 again are of a deep pink. The stalks .grow larger than the 

 Crosby's, almost as tall as Stowell's Evergreen, and pro 

 duces two tars each. We consider this variety one of the! 

 best, if not the best, of all the Sugar Corns, owing to its' 

 earliness, and we would recommend it to all, either fo'- ' 

 market or family use. 



Best of All Corn. This white corn is the most profit 

 able variety yet introduced. It is a week later than th^ 

 Large Adams, but the ears are very large, nearly double 

 the size of Adams, therefore the lateness of bearing is off- 

 set by its extra large size, a quality that is 

 demanded b}- all our truckers and gardeners. 

 We recommend it verv highly. 

 "New Ne Plus Ultra or Shoe Peg| 

 Sugar Corn. I^some three to five days ear 

 Her than Country G-ntleman Corn, which is 

 as late as Stowell's Evergreen. It has ver\ 

 small cob, long grain, shape of shoe pegs. I 

 is very sv\eet and tender and largeh' used h\ 

 market men in the larye cities of the north. 

 ' Tuscarora Corn. This Corn, like Adams 

 Early^ and Extra Early Adams, is a substi 

 tute for Sugar Corn. Tuscarora Corn has 

 more sujjar and sweetness in it than either 

 soit of Adams. The Tuscar jra Corn comes 

 in use abuut the same time as the Adams 

 Early, with long ears 8 to lo inches long, 8 

 and lo rowed, with broad creamy white 

 grains. It is a very pretty- corn when in the 

 green state, being white as chalk. It is a 

 fine yielder, never blights, and does nof 

 smut. It's a strong favorite wherever used 

 b)' market gardeiiers or private planters. 

 White St- Charles Corn. Our city 

 Best of All Corn, gardeners' favorite variety. It makes a 

 vigorous stalk, ears as large as the Cham- 

 pion White Pearl and well filled, small red cob. It is the best all round field corn and 

 always gives satisfaction. 



Mexican June Corn. This late^^t addition to our large and selected list of 

 corns best adapted for the South has been thoron^hlv tested the past season, 

 and has proven all that was claimed for it. It is the'best iate corn yet intro- 

 dnced It is a strong, robust grower, sending the roots deep into the Po"il. Stands
