Dl&CK lVleXlCa.Il bUush black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For home use we consider it 

 the most desirable second early sort. It does especially well for second early in the south. Stalks about six and one-halt feet

 P ' P 1 F ^^'® have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that were claimed to be earlier than 



rerry S liarly tiVeiCgreen Stoweirs Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found any of them so 

 valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit 

 condition for use much earlier than Stowell's Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven inches 

 long, with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep grain 

 which is of the very best quality. Plants average from six and one-half to 

 seven feet high and in ear resemble those of Stowell's Evergreen, but differ in 

 earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard main crop variety for 

 home garden and market; also well adapted for canning. Pkt. 10c; Pt. I5c;

CORN SALAD^ — Fetticus, or Lamb's Lettuce 



A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The 

 leaves are used as a substitute for lettuce and spinach. During August and 

 September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, covering with 

 about one-fourth inch of flne soil firmly pressed down. On the approach of 

 severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will also do well 

 if the seed is sown very early in the spi-ing and like most salad plants, are greatly 

 improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcelj' be made too 

 rich for them. The seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from much 

 that appears on the market. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ViLb. 25c; Lb. 75c.
