CABBAGE, D. M. Ferry & Go's Preminm Flat 



Dutch.— Asa variety for winter market, we consider 

 this sort superior to any other late cabba^'e, and as it is 

 one of the best keepers, it is the kind most extensively 

 cultivated for fall and winter use. It is a sure header, 

 and with good cultivation, on moist, rich ground, ninety- 

 five in a hundred will head up hard and fine. Our 

 stock of this variety is extra selected, of our avn rais- 

 ing, and is at least equal to any otfier strain of this 

 standard variety.

CARROT, Danvers.— A new variety 

 which originated in Danvers, Mass.,where 

 with the best cultivation, they raise from 

 twenty to thirty tons per acre. It is stump 

 rooted, of medium length, rich, dark 

 orange color, very smooth and handsome, 

 and from its length easily dug. It yields 

 an immense bulk with the shortest length 

 of root. On our own seed farms it has 

 proved worthy of aU the commendations 

 bestowed upon it.

CORN, Early Boynton Sweet, or Sugar.— We 

 introduced this variet;^ five years ago. and after repeat- 

 ed trials and tests with other early varieties, we firmly 



believe this is the earliest vari- 

 ety of s7veet com in existence. 

 The ears are small, rather 

 pointed, and when mature, the 

 kernels are much shrivelled. It 

 is of course intended only for 

 first early, and as a week's time 

 makes a great difference in the 

 profits of a market gardener, 

 this variety wiU be found val- 

 uable.

CORN, Black Mexican 

 Sweet.— Unlike any other va- 

 riety of sweet corn, llie kernels 

 of this sort are a bluish black 

 •when fully ripe., but scarcely 

 noticeal>le when green. It is 

 early, and produces good sized 

 ears with well filled kerne'- 

 which are sweet, tender a 

 delicious. For table use a 

 the home .garden, we consider 

 this variety particularly desira- 

 ble on account of its delicious 

 quality.

CORN, Chester County Mammoth.— When gen- 

 uine seed of the variety is planted on good soil, the 

 yield, under good cultivation, is from 100 to 125 bushels 

 of shelled com per acre. Ears are large and weH formed, 

 each having from fourteen to twenty-four rows of long 

 kernels of a deep, bright yellow color. It is not a hard 

 flint com, but very sweet and nutritious, yielding a large 

 amount of excellent fodder. It is a sure cropper, and 

 hardy, but should not be grown in the extreme north 

 where the season is not long enough to mature it. It is 

 undoubtedly one of the best yellow field corris. and we 

 think one trial will convince any farmer of its merits.

CORN, Blunt's Prolific.— This is a tvrelve rowed, 

 white flint variety, with short, well shaped ears, and 

 small cobs. The stalks average eight to ten feet high, 

 and bear from three to eight ears each. The originair>r. 

 by sc" "ntific selection and careful cultivation, has so im- 

 prove*., the variety, by increasing the number of ears to 

 each stalk, that it is now one of the most prolific sorts. 

 It makes a superior quality of pure white meal, and 

 though it cannot be grown successfully in the extreme 

 north, in every other locality it will be found a valuable 

 acquisition.
