JjlaCK iVleXlCail remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or bluish

 use we consider it the most desirable second early sort. It does especially 

 well for second early in the south. Stalk about six and one-half feet high; 

 ears about eight inches long. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00

 C » C 1 17 ^^6 have tested many samples of Ever- 



r erry S JLariy tl.Vergreen green com that were claimed to be earlier 

 than Sto weirs Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found 

 any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been 

 proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit condition 

 for use much earlier than Stowell's Evergreen and to remain in condition 

 quite as long. Ears about seven inches long, with sixteen to twenty more or 

 less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality. 

 Plants average from six and one-half to seven feet high and in ear resemble 

 those of Stoweirs Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more 

 uniform. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 



St 



IP p The standard main crop variety. It is hardy 



OWell S tiVergreen and productive, very tender and sugary, re- 



mamuig a long time m condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been 

 carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and 

 deterioration in the evergreen character of this best known of all late sorts. 

 Ears about eight inches long, sixteen to twenty rowed; stalks about seven 

 and one-half feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.00 



M.-I A rather late variety, but producing the largest ears of any 

 ammOtn sort with which we are acquainted. It is of excellent qual- 

 ity, sweet, tender and delicious and its only fault is the immense size of 

 the ears, which are about twelve inches long and sixteen or eighteen rowed. 

 Plant very large, about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c;

CORN SALAD Fettlcus, or Lamb's Lettuce 



This small salad is used during the winter and spring months as a substitute 

 for lettuce and is also cooked and used like spinage. In warm weather the 

 plants will mature in four to six weeks. During August and September 

 sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart. If the soil is dry it 

 should be firmly pressed over the seed in order to secure prompt germi- 

 nation. 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 

 the spring and like most salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on very 

 rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcely be made too rich for them. The 

 seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from much that appears on 

 the market Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; H Lb. 20c; Lb. 65c.
