 six weeks /ro?)t planting, «.tid matures in two tnonths 

 It originated in IMontana and will easily mature in our 

 coldest climates. Ears smalf, 



handsome, well filled out . kernels 

 white, hard and brittle ; uniformly 



Crosby's Extra Early. Russell's Prolific, 



eight-rowed. It does not possess the saccharine matter 

 of the sugar com, but on account of its earliness, is 

 greatly esteemed. 



Early Minnesota Sweet, 

 or Sugar.— This is among the 

 earliest of the sugar varieties, 

 and is much esteemed, not only 

 because it matures so early, but 

 for its excellent qualities as 

 well. Ears rather small, long 

 and pointed. 



Early Red Naragansett. — 

 We think this the best red va- 

 riety of sugar com grown. It is 

 remarkably early, following the 

 Minnesota; the kernels are 

 much shrivelled, and exceed- 

 ingly sweet and tender. A 

 good early market variety. 

 Many think the flavor of the 

 red sugar com is superior to the 

 white. 



Crosby's Extra Early.— 

 A most excellent variety, and 

 remarkably early. Ears of large 

 size, medium length, sweet, 

 rich and delicate. 



Russell's Early Prolific 

 Sugar. — Comes into use a few 

 days after the preceding. Is of 

 excellent quality, very produc- 

 tive, ftnd one of the best for 

 family use. 



Early Sweet, or Sugar. — 

 This variety is used for gardea 

 purposes, and is early, very 

 tender and sugary ; ears good 

 size, and comes into use quite 

 Black Mexican «arly. Excellent table variety. 



Moore's Early Concord Sweet.— Large, full ears, 

 coming into use after Russell's Prolific. The quality is 

 unexceptionable, and it is valuable as an intermediate 

 variety. 



Black Mexican.— Although the ripe grain is black 

 or bluish-black, the com when in condition for the table 

 cooks remarkably white, and is surpassed by none m 

 tenderness. This by many is considered the most desir- 

 able for family use of any of the second early sorts. 



Excelsior.— A second early variety. Ears medium 

 in size, but remarkably sweet, succulent and tender. 

 Pronounced by the Chairman of the Committee on Veg- 

 etables of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society to. 

 be the finest quality of any variety he had ever tried. 



New Triumph.— A very valuable new variety which 

 has already gained great popularity. It is the earliest 

 of all the large varieties, and is scarcely surpassed for 

 sweetness, richness and delicacy of flavor. Ears are 

 large, and when cooked, present a fine, white appear- 

 ance. It is very productive, of vigorous growth, and a 

 superior market variety. 



Egyptian Sweet.— A variety of late introduction, 

 noted for its productiveness, the large size of its ears, 

 and for its sweetness and tenderness. It is peculiarly 

 adapted for canning purposes, and the superiority of the 

 canned green com of this variety has been noticeable, 

 often bringing a half more per can than other sorts. It 

 is said that the stalks will average three ears each. Its 

 season is about the same as the Evergreen. 



Mammoth Sweet. Stowell s Evergreen. 



Mammoth Sweet. — This variety produces the larg- 

 est ears of any sort with which we are acquainted, a 

 single ear sometimes weighing two or three pounds. 

 The quality is excellent— sweet, tender and delicious. 

 For family use, it cannot be excelled. 



Stowell's Evergreen Sweet.— This variety is in- 

 termediate in its season, and if planted at the same time 

 wnth earlier kinds, will keep the table supplied till Oc- 

 tober. It is hardy and productive, very tender and 

 sugary, remaining a long time in a fresh condition, and 

 suitable for boiling.
