PREMO SWEET CORN—Earlier Than Dwarf Extra Early Adams. 
_No corn was ever introduced that gave such general satisfaction as PREMO. 
It is acknowledged by expert corn growers to be the earliest pure Sweet Corn 
under culture. It not only combines all the merits of the leading varieties, 
but it is also really superior to them all in size, quality and yield. Premo can 
be planted fully as early as the Adams, for the young plants withstand slight 
frost, while other varieties are tender and the seed will rot if planted before 
the soil becomes warm. ‘The stalks grow about five feet high, and are very 
vigorous, generally bearing two well-developed ears to the stalk. 
Quart, 20c. Peck, $1.00. Bushel, $3.25. 
Peep o’Day.—The earliest variety; very sweet and of delicate flavor. 
Ears twelve-rowed, averaging 6 inches in length; stalks 3% to 4% feet 
high, bearing from two to four ears each. Quart, 20c. Peck, $1.00. 
Bushel, $4.00. 
Adams’ Extra Early.—The hardiest and earliest variety for the table 
use. It can be‘planted earlier than any other, but it is not a sweet corn; 
white indented grains and short ears. 25c. dozen. Qt., 20c. Bu., $2.25. 
Golden Bantam.—Probably the very earliest variety grown. Very 
sweet, none better for the home garden for first early. Quart, 25¢c. 
Peck, goc. Bushel, $3.00. 
New Champion.—This is a comparatively new variety, only having 
been on the market for a few years, and has proved to be a valuable early 
variety. It is medium early in ripening, and produces large ears, gener- 
ally having about twelve rows of beautiful white, milky grains, which ars 
very tender and sweet. Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.00. 
Stabler’s Extra Early.—A new variety, of larger size than usual for the 
early kinds. It is remarkable for sweetness and earliness. A desirable 
canning variety. Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.00. 
Country Gentleman.—A new corn of merit and desirable for family use. 
The grains are irregular, compact and sweet. Quart, 20c. Peck, goc. 
Bushel, $3.00. Ears, 4oc. dozen. 
Black Mexican.—Surpassed by none in quality and tenderness. When 
cooked is almost white; the ripe ear is black or blue black. Highly esteemed 
for family use. Quart, 25c. Peck, $1.00. Bushel, $3.50. 
Stowell’s Evergreen.—See illustration engraved from a photograph of 
an ear of our improved strain. The seed which we offer is free from 
glaze and flint, and has been grown completely isolated from all other 
varieties. Quart, 20c. Peck, 85c. Bushel, $3.00. Ears, 4oc. dozen. 
Mammoth Late.—This produces the largest ear of any, a single ear 
ea sometimes weighing two orthree pounds. It ripens a little later than the 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Evergreen, with larger cobs, the kernels being flatter, not horse-tooth 
shape. Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.00. Ears, 40c. dozen.
