CORN

Mammoth White Cory 



CULTURE— A rich, warm, alluvial soil is best, but excellent sweet corn can 

 be raised on any good, ordinary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked 

 before planting. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until the 

 tassels appear.

 Mammoth White Cory, but with decidedly larger ears which mature quite as 

 early. It is of especial value to market gardeners, as in early corn the largest 

 ears usually control the market. The plant is about four feet high; the ears 

 large, twelve to fourteen-rowed, with white, square grains. Pkt. 10c: Pt. 20c:

------- .~ Qjjg qj ^Yie largest and best 



extra early varieties. The 

 stalks are about four feet high, 

 each generally bearing two large, fine shaped ears which become fit for use as 

 early as those of any variety in cultivation. They are twelve-rowed, very sym- 

 metrical and handsome, with no opening between the rows at the base. The 

 grain is large, broad, very white and of remarkably good quality for such an 

 early sort. The size and beauty of this variety give it ready sale, even when 

 the market is overstocked. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 2.5c; 4 Qts. 76c; Bu. $5.00

— --.__.. most excellent early variety of fine quality, 



rs of medium size, twelve-rowed or more, with 

 short, nearly square grains which are very white, 

 sweet and tender. Plants about four feet in height. This is the sort so largely 

 grown in Maine for canning and it is the use of this variety rather than any 

 peculiarity of soil that has given Maine sweet corn its reputation for quality.

 with no suckers, and bearing one or 

 two ears well covered with husks; 

 ears long, eight- rowed; kernels very 

 broad, sweet and tender, not shrink- 

 ing much in drying. By careful se- 

 lection we have developed a stock of 

 this standard variety which is re- 

 markably uniform and in which all 

 the good qualities that have made 

 this sort so popular are intensified.

slender, eight-rowed. Grain very

 sweet or sugar corn as is often of-

 have a red or pink cob; grain medi-

 tender. Matures a little later than 

 the Minnesota. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;

 white, square grain, similar to that of

 quality. It is an excellent second early 

 sort either for the garden or the canning

HirkAV HvhrJrl Earlier than StowelPs Evergreen, and forms a long, cylindrical 

 I llt.l\UA I lyui lU a^(j very attractive ear of very white and handsome grain. It is 

 one of the best varieties for canners' use. By planting it at the same time as StowelFs 

 Evergreen the season will be lengthened considerably, as the Hickox will be about through 

 by the time StowelFs Evergreen comes in. Very prolific; ordinarily every stalk will have 

 two large, fully developed ears. The best sort for drying. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 

 4 Qts. 75c. 



~ " " — " This variety differs from the Evergreen in that it is a little sweeter 



and richer in quality but does not remain so long in use. Stalks 

 about six feet high, usually bearing two large, sixteen to twenty- 

 rowed ears. The planter may be sure of a great number of marketable ears and as great 

 weight of corn per acre as can be produced by any variety. We do not know of any kind 

 of late corn more valuable for the home or market garden than our improved strain of 

 this splendid sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.00
