Gillespie's First Early Xeck Com. For more than twenty years we have placed this 

 I t-om in the hamls of the largest truckers and market trardeners over the United States. Each year 

 I our -sales of the siime have very materially increased. It has always proven in their hands to be the 

 VKRY FIRST CORN" that they can brin.tr to market. It is so hardy that it can readilj' be planted as soon 

 as the irround is in jjood workinij order, and will, from the day of its germination, hurry forward to 

 meet tlie early demand for fresh corn, which is always very keen, and causes this delicious, attrac- 

 I tive ami superior corn to bring profitable prices. Ear, 3c.; doz. ears, 25c.; packet, 5c.; pt., 10c. ;

 com. Matures a few days earlier than Crosby, It has a rich; sugar flavor. 

 For home gardens it is one of the finest corns ever produced. Its fine-sized 

 tars coming so early make it desirable for market gardens as well as for 

 hcime culture. It might be called .sixty-day sugar corn, for it tnatures in 

 th.it time. It., HV.; qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, 52.50.

 for the early kinds. It is remarkable for sweetness and earliness. A de- 

 sirable canning varietv. Doz.. 40c.; pt., 10c.; qt., 15c.; gal., 40c.; jjeck,

Early Premo Sugrar Com. This new sweet is earlier than 

 lither the Adams or Corey; the ears are larger and grain sweeter. It ma- 

 tures in from fifty-six to si.vty days, This gain of time is very iinpor- 

 i.int, as ;t catclies the very early market prices. The ears are from five to 

 -ven inches long and of fine appearance. Pt, lOc; qt., 20c.; gal., 50c.; 

 ck, 75c.; bushel, 52.5ii.

-rite. Two weeks earlier than Late Mammoth. Sweet, delicate flavor, 



rfxlucing a large ear and a small-sized cob, which fills out to the end per- 



:-ctlv. It., l')c.; qt.. 15c.; gal., 50c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, 52.50; per

 larger and sweeter. Pt., 10c. ; qt., 15c.; gal., 50c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, 

 S2. 50; per <loz., 40c. 



Extra Early EverjS'reen. For many years the Stowell's Ever- 

 ^'reen ha.-, been the most {xipular sweet corn. A grower knowing this has 

 repeatedly made selections for earliness, and the result is the "Plxtra Early 

 Evergreen." It ripen> alxjut ten days earlier and produces ears a trifle shorter than the Stowell's, but the quality is equally as 

 gocH^l. It is a bplendid variety to come in between the early and late sorts, and is destined to become as popular as the Stowell's 

 Evergreen. Pt.. K)c.; qt., 15c.; ,gal.. 50c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, 52.50. 



Kendel'S Early Giant S'weet Com. We find it possesses great merit. It is very early, being fit for use in sixty 

 days from planting. The ears are large, eight to ten inches in length, the majority having twelve rows to a cob. Kernels pure 

 white, verj- sweet and tender. It is also a most productive variety and will prove a valuable acquisition to every home or market 

 gardener who plants it. Pt., I'Jc.; qt., 15c.; gal., 50c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, 52.50. 



Burpee's 'Wllite Everg^reen Com. The most valuable sweet corn for main crop. It has the ideal qualities of the 

 Stowell's Evergreen com. only it is pure white, making it the most desirable com for market and home gardeners, I't., 10c. ; qt., 

 15c.; gal., 50c.: peck, 75c.; bushel. .<2.50. 



StO'well'S Evergreen Sugar. This is not only the most celebrated, but the most popular of all the varieties, although 

 not an early sort. It is. without any exception, the best for table use of the entire lot, although fjuite late. Some may observe 

 they have triefl it and found it not equal to the ordinary sugar. To such we say you have not had the pure stock, as no variet\ de- 

 generates so quickly, without the grower is exceedingly careful. We have very frequently observed samples sent out by .some seed 

 establishments as Stowell's Evergreen, that were composed of several varieties, caused by being grown in the vicinity. Pt., 10c. ; 

 qt., 15c.; gal., Mk:.; peck, 75c.; bushel. 52.50; per doz., 50c. 



L»arge I^ate Mammoth Sugar Com. The largest of all the sugar varieties, producing perfect ears of immense size, 

 ha\-iiig from twelve to si.vteen rows. .\ fine market variety, and follows the New England eight-rowed sugar in ripening; sweet 

 and delicious. Pt.. 10c.; qt.. 15c.; gal.. 50c.; peck. 75c.; bushel, S2.50; per doz., 50c. 



Country Gentlemen's S'weet Com. The deep shoe-peg kernels are placed irregularly, but compactly upon the cob. 

 It is very prolific, generally bearing three to five ears to the sUilk, and matures a little before Stowell's Evergreen, being sweeter 

 and more sugary to the taste even than well-known standard of quality. Pt., 10c. ; qt., 15c.; gal., 50c.; peck, 75c.; bushel, $2.50. 

 Rice Pop Corn lor Popping or Seed. A very handsome variety; ears short; kernels long, pointed; verv pro- 

 lific; no variety of pop com is superior to this for popping, 10c. per pound.
