SHOE PEG STVEET. 



This very excellent new 

 and distinct variety, of- 

 fered two years since for 

 the lirst time, originated 

 at Bordentown, X. J., 

 in which market it is 

 considered the sweetest 

 and choicest sort grown, 

 selling at double the 

 prices of all other 

 varieties. It is some- 

 times confounded with 

 the Xe Plus nira^ owing 

 to the resemblanceof the 

 seed to that variety. It 

 is, however, very dis- 

 tinct in growth from any 

 other and has the deep- 

 est grain and smnllest 

 cob of any known 

 variety. The acconi- 

 panyitig cut is an exact 

 representation of an ear 

 from nature. Thestalks 

 are of medium height, 

 without suckers, joints 

 short, and sometimes 

 yield as many as five 

 ears, well filled out. 

 The kernel issmall, very 

 long. Avhite and exceed- 

 ingly tender, sweet and 

 of a rich, juicy flavor that 

 is hot equalled by any 

 other sort. In maturing 

 it is niediunt late. In our 

 extended exi^erience we 

 havegrowneverjknown

 have never found a vari- 

 ety possessing so many 

 desirable qualities as
