Avon Evergreen Sweet Corn 



This is one of the best vegetable introductions in many years. It stands alone in its class. Those who 

 like the old reliable Stofcell's Evergreen will find in Avon Evergreen a variety better in every way. It is a 

 trifle earlier, of superior quality, has a longer ear and thicker kernel. We have developed Avon Evergreen 

 at our Oakview Stock Seed Farm in Avon township by crossing Stowell's Evergreen with Mammoth and 

 apparently we have retained the desirable characteristics of both. Its being a mid-season kind allows the sun- 

 shine to develop more sugar in Avon Evergreen than is possible in strictly extra early sorts: also it has time to 

 attain its large size. Perhaps no other variety of corn exemplifies so perfectly the possibilities in plant develop- 

 ment. Nowhere is the difference between the product of modern com breeding and the old roasting ear more 

 clearly shown than in this triumph of patient skill. The market gardener who is able to supply his patrons 

 with Avon Evergreen will have the distinction of furnishing the best evergreen corn that grows. 



Ears cylindrical, about nine inches long, well filled at ends, fourteen or sixteen even rows. Grain very 

 •white, tender, delicious in sugary flavor, thick and of good depth. Stalk vigorous, seven to eight feet high. 

 This is a splendid main crop variety for the market, the home garden or the canner. It remains long in con- 

 dition for use. Try it. Pkt. 15c; Pt. 30c: Qt. 45c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Vi Bu. $2.50 



If corn is ordered by mail or express X)repaid add 10 cents per pint. 15 cents per quart for charges.
