HICKOX HYBRID.—Popular wherever it is known and 
deserves to be planted very largely both for home and market 
use. It is one to two weeks earlier than Evergreen, makes a 
large, attractive ear, has a white cob and grain, and remains 
in condition for use along time. It is also one of the best 
varieties for canners’ use and by planting it with Hvergreen 
will lengthen the season considerably, as the Hickox will be 
know of no variety of late corn so valuable for the home or 
the market garden as our improved strain of this splendid sort.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN.—The standard main crop 
variety, and if planted at the same time with earlier kinds, 
will keep the table supplied until October. It is hardy and 
productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long time 
in 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. This and Mammoth are standard late 
varieties in the South. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 10cts.; Qt. l5cts.; 
4 Qts. 40cts.; Bushel $2.00. 
MMATMMOTH.—This variety produces the largest ears of 
any sort with which we are acquainted, a single ear some- 
times weighing two or three pounds. Itis of excellent quality, 
sweet, tender and delicious, and its only fault is the immense 
size of the ear. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 15cts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts.
