 the largest ears of any sort with wiiich 

 we are acquainted. It is of excellent 

 quality, sweet, tender and delicious, 

 and its only fault is the immense size 

 of the ear. Pkt. 10c; Pt.loc; Qt.25c;

 It is hardy and productive, very 

 tender and sugary, remaining a 

 long time in c<:.iidition suitable for 

 boiling. Our stock has been care- 

 fully grown and selected to avoid 

 the tendency to a shorter grain 

 and deterioration in the evergreen 

 character of tliis best known of all 

 late sorts. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;

ferry's Early Evergreen 



We have tested many samples 

 of Evergreen Corn *nat were 

 claimed to be earliei ihan Stoweirs 

 Evergreen and to be just as good, 

 but we have never found any of 

 them so valuulile as the stock of 

 this variety we offer. It has been 

 proven both on our trial groimds 

 and in the field to come into fit con- 

 dition for use Jiiuch earlier than 

 StowelPs Evergieen and to remain 

 in condition quite as long. The 

 ears are large with sixteen to 

 twenty more or less irregular rows 

 with very long grain, which is of 

 the very best quality. The plants 

 in ear resemble those of StowelTs 

 Evergreen but differ in earliness ^ 

 and we thinlc are more uniform. <^
