SWEET OR TABLE VARIETIES— Continued 



¥- » T- 1 I- This excellent sorf, introduced by us in 1898, 



rerry S tarly tvergreen has proven its merit as the best evergreen 



strain that is distinctly earlier than Stowell's. The strain we offer has to a 



remarkable degree, all the qualities that have made Stowell's Evergreen the 



leading main crop sweet corn for so long a time. The ears of Ferry's Early 



Evergreen are about seven to seven and one-half inches long, with fourteen to 



twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep, white grain of the very best 



quality. Stalks about six and cne-half to seven feet high. A very desirable 



main crop variety for home garden and marltet, and well adapted for canning.

ni 11} 1 ^® believe this is not only the earliest maturing variety in 



olaCK oeauty cultivation but it is ready for popping earlier than any other 

 sort. It pops very large and exceptionally white. The kernels are black but this 

 color is not noticeable after popping, when this sort is the largest and most ten- 

 der of all. The ears are about six inches long, twelve rowed. The kernels are 

 smooth, shallow and are nearly square. Pkt. 10c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c. {shelled)

 short but very thick ears, averaging three and one-half to four inches long and 

 about two inches in diameter. The kernels are similar to those of White Rice, 

 but are longer and more slender. When properly cured will produce a larger 

 proportion of popped kernels than any other variety. Tender and delicious when popped and free from any hull or shell. Pkt. 10c;

uOlden rlUlleSS golden yellow in color. It pops almost perfectly when properly cured and the golden color adds to its 

 attractiveness. We have tried this out tlioroughly and find it a very desirable addition to the list of pop corns. (See illustration

Ferry's Early Evergreen 



CORN SALAD — Fetticus or Lamb's Lettuce 



This is 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 

 fine 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 spring and like most salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on very rich soil. The seed 

 we offer is extra cleaned. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
