WHITE Cos Cory. 
WHITE GOB GORY 
This is one of the best extra early varieties. The 
ears are even larger and better filled out than the Cory, 
and become fit for use a little earlier. It has the great ad- 
vantage of a clear white grain and white cob, making it one 
of the best extra early varieties for either the market or pri- 
vate garden. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 15cts.; Qt. 20 cts.; 4 Qts. 40 cts.; 
Bushel $2.25. 
CORY.—rars eight-rowed, with red cob and very large 
light pink grains. All the red cobbed corn should be cooked 
quickly by dropping the ears into boiling water to which a 
little salt has been added, for if simmered over a slow fire, or 
allowed to stand in the water after cooking, the red cob will 
discolor the kernels. Pkt. 10 cts.; Pt. 10 cts.; Qt. 15 cts.; 
4 Qts. 40 cts.: Bushel $2.00. 
ARLY SWEET OR SUGAR._ Fars long, slender, eight- 
rowed. Grain very white, tender and sugary; plant produc- 
tive, hardy and quite early. An old but excellent table sort.

New ENGLAND SWEET. 
SWEET OR SUGAR VARIETIES 
NEW ENGLAND SWEET 
Many regret the lack of the flavor of the New England 
roasting ear in our modern sweet corn. We introduced this 
fine white wrinkled corn in 1895, which has something of the 
flavor of the New England flint corn without sacrificing in the 
least the sweetness and tenderness of the sweet corn. The 
ears are long, eight rowed; the grain medium sized, white, 
tender and sweet, becoming much wrinkled when ripe. Plant 
very hardy and productive. Pkt. 10 cts.; Pt. 15 cts.; Qt. 20 cts.; 
4 Qts. 50 cts.; Bushel $2.75. 
PEE AND KAY._This has proved a very popular variety, 
particularly in the East. Stalks of medium height, bearing 
two straight, handsome, ten or twelve rowed ears, which are 
very large for so early a variety. They mature about same 
time as the Early Minnesota, and are of good quality, cook- 
ing very white and tender. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 10 cts.; Qt. 15 cts.; 
4 Qts. 40 cts.; Bushel $2.00. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN._< sort developed from the old 
Ne Plus Ultra and having a very small white cob densely 
covered with irregular rows of very long, slender, white 
grains which are of fine quality: their only fault being a 
rather thick and tough skin. Pkt. 10 cts.; Pt. 15 cts.; Qt. cts.; 
4 Qts. 40 cts.; Bushel $2.25. 
If by mail or express prepaid, add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges.
