lUnnro'c FarJv rnnmrrl ^^^^^^^ about six feet high, bearing near 

 IflUUI C 5 Ldl ly l/lllItWl U its base large fourteen to sixteen-rowed 

 ears of short, very white, square grain, similar to that of Crosby's Early 

 and of the same splendid quality. It is an excellent second early sort either 

 for the garden or the canning factory. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. »5c;

 Rl;irl/ MAVirAtl ^^^^^ corn, when in condition for the table, cooks re- 

 UIOLU IflL/All/all markably white, but the ripe grain is black or bluish- 

 black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For family 

 use we consider it the most desirable second early sort. It does especially 

 well for second early in the south. Stalk about six feet high. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 

 Hirl/nV Hvhrirl Earlier than StowelPs Evergreen, and forms a long 

 lllt/nllA II J If I iU cyhudrical and very attractive ear of very white and 

 handsome grain. It is one of the best varieties for canners' use. By plant- 

 ing it at the same time as StowelPs Evergreen the season will be lengthened 

 considerably, as the Hickox will be about through by the time Stowell's 

 Evergreen comes in. Very prolific; about six and one-half feet high, and 

 ordinarily every stalk will have two large, fully developed ears. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c; 3u. $4.50 



Old TnlnnV '^^^^^ variety differs from the Evergreen in that it is a little 

 l/IU L^UiUllj sweeter and richer in quality, but does not remain so long 

 in condition for use. Stalks about six and one-half feet high, usually bear- 

 ing two large sixteen to twentj'-rowed ears. The planter may be sure of a 

 great number of marketable ears and as great weight of corn per acre as 

 can be produced by any variety. We do not know of any kind of late corn 

 more valuable for the liome or market garden than our improved strain of 

 tills splendid sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 



refill ntrV fiPnf iPtflAII "^^^^ variety has a small, white cob, densely cov- 



\/UllliUj UC-ii llt/lilQIIered with irregular rows of very long, slender, 



white grains, Avhich are of excellent quality. Stalks from six and one-half to 



seven feet high. By many it is regarded as the best of the late varieties.

Fprrv''^ pArlV FvPrnrPPn ^^® have tested many samples of Ever- 



1 CI I J a i-QI ly LYL/I IJI CC/li green com that were claimed to be earher 

 than Stowell's 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 S to well's Evergreen and to remain in condition 

 quite as long. The ears are large, with sixteen to twenty more or less ^J, 

 irregular rows with very long grain which is of the very best quality. A 

 The 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. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 



^tnWtf*l('Q FVPrnrPPn The standard main ci-op variety. It is hardy 



OIUtVL/II o LYCI yi ecu and productive, very tender and sugary, re- 

 maining 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. Height, about seven and one-half feet. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 

 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.00 



IWfllTitTiflth "^^^^ variety p>roduces the largest ears of any sort with which 

 iTlalillliUlll -vve are acquainted. It is of excellent quality, sweet, tender 



and delicious, and its only fault is the immense size of the ear. Plant 



averages about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts.75c;
