COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. — A remark 

 ably satisfactory and delicious corn for 

 family use. The ears are good sized and 

 produced in great abundance, many stalks 

 bearing four plump ears. Its long, small, 

 milky kernels are full of sweetness, and as 

 the cob is small, and the corn white and 

 tender, it is sure to please. Recommended 

 by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment 

 Station for canning. Packet. 10c; V z lb. 

 25c; lb. 40c, postpaid; 12 lbs. $4.50, not 

 prepaid. 



FIRST IN THE MARKET SUGAR. — It 



is fully two weeks earlier than Extra Early 

 Crosby and nearly a week earlier than any 

 Corn. It is a good producer, more prolific 

 than Extra Early Crosby's, the ears are 

 somewhat larger and the kernels of a pale, 

 pinkish color, some of the ears run entirely 

 white, while others again are of a deep 



pink. The stalks grow larger than the 

 Crosby's, almost as tall as Stowell's Ever- 

 green, and produce two ears each. Packet, 

 10c; y z lb. 25c; lb. 40c, postpaid; 12 lbs. 

 $4.50, not prepaid.

 SUGAR. — Is some three to five days earlier 

 than Country Gentleman Corn, which is as

 small cob, long grain, shape of shoe pegs.

 used by market men in the large cities of 

 this country. Packet, 10c; y z lb. 25c; lb.

SWEET CORN 



Protscher's Adams' Early Large. 



PROTSCHER'S ADAMS' EARLY LARGE. 



Similar to Adams' Extra Early, but ten days 

 later, and has much larger ears. This and 

 the Adams' Extra Early are very hardy and 

 can be planted earlier than sweet corns. 

 Has small stalk and can be planted close. 

 More valuable for the market than for 

 home gardens as this, as well as the Adams' 

 Extra Early, lacks fineness of flavor found 

 in sweet varieties. Are sure croppers if 

 given the best of cultivation and rich soil. 

 Packet, 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid; 

 12 V6 lbs. $2.50; 50 lbs. $8.50, not prepaid. 



BRAZILIAN P L O U R.— One of the 

 grandest plants ever introduced into this 

 country. It originated in Brazil, where it 

 constitutes the principal food. This corn 

 is especially adapted to the wants of out- 

 Southern States. It withstands drought, 

 makes better roasting ears than either 

 the early Adams' or any of the early sugar 

 corns. By planting every month it will 

 furnish green corn all the season. Comes 

 in early and remains late. Packet. 10c; 

 Vz lb. 20c; lb. 35c, postpaid; 12 14 lbs. 

 $3.00; 50 lbs. $10.00; not prepaid.

ADAMS' EXTRA EARLY.— Valuable as 

 coming in before any true sweet corn.

 is for market gardeners to bring in ahead 

 of other sorts. Packet, 10c; y 2 lb. 20c;
