SWEET OR SUGAR COR.N. maiz^zucker 



Extra Early WMte Cory. — One of the earliest kno.wn. Large ears, 

 considering size of stalk, small cob, well-filled with handsome grains. Dozen, 40c. 



Adams' Extra Early. — The hardiest and earliest variety for the table 

 use. It can be planted earlier than any other, but it is not a sweet corn ; 

 white, indented grains and short ears. Dozen, 25c. 



Early Adams. — Similar to Extra Early Adams ; larger, but not so 

 early. Often used for tlie table, particularly in the Southern States. Also a 

 splendid corn to grow for early feeding purposes. Dozen, 25c. 



Early Champion. — This is a comparatively new variety, only having 

 been on the market for a few years, and has proved to be a valuable early 

 variety. It is medium early in ripening, and produces large ears, generally hav- 

 ing about twelve rows of beautiful white, milky grains, which are very tender 

 and sweet, and remain so for quite a period. This is a splendid variety for 

 planting in the home garden, as it is a strong, health} grower and very pro- 

 ductive. These qualities also make it a profitable Sweet Corn for the market 

 gardener to plant. Our seed was grown especially for use in Connecticut, and 

 is very pure. Quart, 20c. Peck, $1.00. Dozen, 50c. 



Stablers' Extra Early. — A new variety, of larger size than usual for 

 the early kinds. It is remarkable for sweetness and earliness. A desirabk 

 canning variety. Quart, 20c. Dozen, 40c. 



Country Gentleman. — A new corn of merit and desirable for family 

 use. The grains are irregular, compact and sweet. Quart, 25c. Peck, $1.00. 

 Dozen, 40c. 



Stowell's Evergreen. — See illustration engraved from a photograph of 

 an ear of our improved strain. The seed which we offer is free from glaze 

 and flint, and has been grown completely isolated from all other varieties. Its 

 qualities will not be found in the Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn as usually 

 sold, wihich has deteriorated generally, both in quality and productiveness. For 

 canning purposes the Improved Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn will prove 

 most satisfactory; its large ears, with long, slender grains, make the most 

 salable canned corn. Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.00. Dozen, 35c. 



Mammoth Eate. — This produces the largest ear of any, a single ear 

 sometimes weighing two to three pounds. It ripens a little later than the Ever- 

 green, with larger cobs, the kernels being flatter, not horse-tooth shape. 

 Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.00. Dozen, 35c.
