 121 Ir IV/lAirl^on '^^^^ corn, when in condition for the table, cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or 

 DISL.CK IVleXlCan bUiish black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For home use we consider it 



the most desirable second early sort. It does especially well for second early in the south. Stalks about six and one-half feet 



high; ears about eight inches long; usually eight rowed. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 



1? > C 1 C ^^ have tested many samples of 



rerry S tarly tiVergreen Evergreen com that were claimed to 



be earlier than StowelPs Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have 



never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we 



offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to 



come into fit condition for use much earlier than StowelTs Evergreen 



and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven inches long, 



with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep grain 



which is of the very best quality. Plants average from six and one-half 



to seven feet high and in ear resemble those of Stowell's Evergreen, but 



differ in earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard main crop 



variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning.

rowed. Plant very large, about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;

CORN S AL AD— Fetticus, or Lamb's Lettuce 



A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. 

 The leaves are used as a substitute for lettuce and spinach. During 

 August and September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot 

 apart, covering with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed 

 down. On the approach of severe cold weather, cover with straw or 

 coarse litter. The plants will also do well if the seed is sown very early 

 in the spring and like most salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on 

 very rich soil; Indeed the ground can scarcely be made too rich for them. 

 The seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from much that 

 appears on the market. Pkt, 5c; Qz. 10c; 2 Oz, 15c; V^ Lb, 25c; Lb, 75c.
