l/ouisiana Sugar Cane —For planting. 

 Having received so many inquiries the past 

 season regarding this renowned Southern 

 product, that we concluded to catalogue it 

 this season. We have three varieties which 

 we offer as strictly true and genuine. Rib- 

 bon Cane, White Cane, Red Cane. Price, 

 ioc. each ; $1.00 per dozen. 



First in the Market Sugar Corn — 

 A new variety of Sugar Corn for which we 

 claim to be the earliest in the market. It 

 is fall) 7 two weeks earlier than Extra Early 

 Crosby and nearly a week earlier than Early 

 Corn. It is a good producer, more prolific 

 than Extra Early Crosby's, the ears are 

 somewhat larger and the kernel of a pale, 

 pinkish color. Some of the ears run en- 

 tirely white, while others again are of a 

 deep pink. The stalks grow larger than 

 the Crosby's, almost as tall as StoweH's 

 Evergreen, and produce two ears each. We 

 consider this variety one of the best, if not 

 the best, of all the Sugar Corns, owiug to 

 its earliness, and we would recommend it 

 to all, either for market or family use. 

 Price, per quart. 40c; gallon, $r.oo; peck, 



$1.75'-
