HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



Henderson's Succession Cabbage follows 

 ten days behind the Early Summer, and dif- 

 fers from that variety in forming heads at 

 least one-third heavier than the Early Sum- 

 mer, while at the same time it can be planted 

 nearly as close, as its outer leaves are visu- 

 ally short and compact for a cabbage form- 

 ing such a large and heavy head. In about 

 two acres of it, and examined by three ex- 

 perts, it was pronounced to be the most per- 

 fect type of cabbage they had ever seen; 

 nearly every Cabbage was headed up, of a 

 uniformly perfect shape, large and heavy. 

 Although this variety will be largely grown 

 to come in for midsummer use, it will also be 

 most valuable as a fall or winter variety, as 

 its firm, solid heads make it an excellent 

 keeper.

GOLD COIN SWEET CORN- 



The Gold Coin Sweet Corn is remarkably dis- 

 tinct and handsome in appearance; in these re- 

 spects, exciting the admiration of gardeners, and 

 is, without doubt, the most valuable variety ever 

 Introduced. Its enormous productiveness is 

 enough tu place it in advance of any sort now 

 grown; almost always yielding two, and fre- 

 quently three mammoth ears to the stalk. For 

 the past three years the New Golb Coin has 

 been compared in all points with Stowell's Ever- 

 green, and in siveetncss and delicacy of flavor, it 

 surpasses that old favorite. So far, it has proven 

 ten days earlier, and in size, one-third larger. 

 The cob is snowy white, compactly covered with 

 large, deep grains. Perhaps its most valuable 

 characteristic lies in the fact that it is evergreen 

 to an unprecedented degree. Last season the great bulk of the crop could have been gathered at 

 a,ny time during a period of four weeks, and have been found in perfect condition for table use. 

 This is a very important quality to gardeners or canners.

MAPLEDALE PROLIFIC POP CORN- 



This remarkable variety is worthy of a trial. The originator says: 1 selected on my Mapledale 

 fruit farm 10 stalks with 121 ears, or an average of 13 ears to the stalk; one stalk having 19 ears. Be- 

 sides its prolific character, we are very much pleased with the corn in other respects. The stalks 

 grow six feet liigh, and the ears are large in size, with grain nearly clear white in color. It pops pure 

 paper-white, and of fine quality.

 bulbs often attain weights of from 

 2^ to 4 lbs. each. The skin is a
