xHe HOisev siA^eeT corn. 



Nothing we liave ever introdueed has elicited from both market and family gaideners sucli enthusiastic praise in all 

 parts of the country. It originated with a German market gardener near Allentown.Pa., wlio had the reputation of bringing 

 thefinest and sweetest corn to tliat market, for wliieh he realized fabulous prices. In growth and appearance it is jmlike 

 any other variety, thehusks and stalks being of a deep red color during growth, while the corn itselfis of a beautiful cream 

 white, much shrivelled when dry, with deep grain and small cob. It is also a most productive variety, bearing three to 

 four good, large ears on a stalk, growing vigorously, and coming in as early as Moore's Ctmcord. No market or private 

 garden is complete without it. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., post-paid; peck, gl. 25; bush., 54.50., by express or freight.

THE GUARANTEE. This new variety has had quite a 

 reputation for a few years in one of the largest market 

 houses in Philadelphia, where it has been brought in market 

 in its season by a Chester County, Pa., market man, and had 

 become known toils patrons as " The Guarantee," he hav- 

 ing always, in disposing of it, guaranteed it to be the sweet- 

 est in the whole market. We have seen his supply of this 

 corn sold out before 8 o'clock in the morning, long before 

 the marlcet was half over, notwithstanding the fact that his 

 price was always 10c. per dozen above his competitors. He 

 has always kept the seed in his own hands until recently, 

 when, after great persuasion and at high cost, we obtained 

 from him a few quarts two years since, from which our pre- 

 sent stock was grown. It grows a fair-sized, handsome, 

 white ear, grain very much shrivelled when dry, coming in
