Oakview^- 



I Early Market 



A variety originating on our Oakview seed 

 farm. Similar in general character to our Mamm^oth > 

 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. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

lUTAMMOTH ^ 



^^^ WHITE CORY 



One of the largest and best extra early varieties^ 

 The stalks are no larger than those of the ^\ hite Cob 

 Gory, but each stalk furnishes two or more large fine 

 shaped ears which are fit for use before those of any 

 other sort, except Oakview Early Market. The ears are 

 twelve-rowed, very svmmetrical and handsome,withno 

 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 over- 

 stock^ Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00

'Crosby's Early 



A most ex- 

 cellent early 

 variety, of 

 fine quaUty. Ears of medium size, twelve-rowed 

 or more, with short, nearly square grains which are 

 very tender and sweet. 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 quahty. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 20c; Qt. 80c; 4 qts. $1.00 



vEarly Minnesota . . . 



This old and deservedly popular variety is one 

 of the best early sorts, for the market and the pri- 

 vate garden. Stalks about five feet high with no 

 suckers and bearing one or two ears well covered 

 with husks; ears long, eight-rowed; kernels very broad, 

 sweet and tender, not shrinking much in drying. By 

 careful selection we have developed a stock of this 

 standard variety which is remarkably uniform, and 

 in which all the good qualities that have made this 

 variety so popular are intensified. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; 

 I Qt. 25c; 4Qts. 75c. 



^tarly Sweet or Sugar ^S^''§rS^S& 



tender and sugary; plant productive, hardy and quite 

 early. An old but excellent table sort. Our stock is

 early sweet or sugar corn as is often offered under this 

 me. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4Qt8.60c; Bu.$3..50

 Dlatl\ iTieAICdn table cooks remarkably white, but 

 the ripe grain is black or bluish-black. It is surpassed

 by many the most desirable of the second early sorts.
