From our own trials and hundreds of reports received, we believe this new and distinct sugar corn 

 to be the most valuable introduction since the Burlington Hybrid and Cory. The originator, a gardener 

 in Northern Vermont, in sending us the seed for trial, claimed it to be the only large-eared variety, the 

 seed of which could be ripened in that northern latitude. It is unquestionably the Largest-eared White- 

 cobbed Early Sweet Corn, with rich, creamy- 

 white kernels, so large, plump and deep, that the 

 shell or hull so prominent in most varieties is 

 reduced to a minimrim. The ears, in many 

 instances, having sixteen to twentj'-two rows. 

 We believe it to be the best early genuine Sweet 

 or Sugar Corn grown. Try it. Pkt., 15c. ; pint 

 30C.; qt., 50c., post-paid; qt., 35c.; 4qts., $1.00; 

 peck, $1.75; bush., ^6.00, by freight or express.

There is nothing in this catalogue more 

 worthy of the careful consideration of gardeners 

 than this new corn, and we felt highly gratified 

 in having been the first seedsmen to offer it to 

 the public in the spring of 18S9. It is not an 

 untried novelty, having been grown for several 

 years with great profit by a few truckers of 

 Burlington County, N. J., who have kept the 

 stock closely guarded among themselves, they 

 positively refusing to sell seed to any one, and 

 also by many of our own patrons, on our recom- 

 mendation, many of whom write us it gives 

 them entire control of the early markets, prov- 

 ing extremely profitable. It is a cross between 

 Adams' Extra Early and some large-eared pro- 

 ductive variety of sugar corn. Its great market 

 value can be readily seen from the fact that it 

 is as early as the Adams', with an ear fully as 

 large as Stowell's Evergreen and more pro- 

 ductive than either, producing equal to the 

 most prolific field corn, it having frequently 

 produced over one hundred bushels to the acre 

 grown for a field crop. Although not legiti- 

 mately a sugar corn, yet the husks, blades and 

 ear in a green state exactly resemble the sugar 

 varieties, and it sells readily in market as a 

 sweet or sugar corn. It is, however, of much 

 better eating quality than the Adams'. When 

 dry the grain is smooth and of a creamy-white 

 color. The stalks grow to a height of about 

 five feet and very compact, admitting of closer 

 planting than any other variety ; the ears begin 

 to set low down and are borne three to four to a 

 stalk. Pkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., post-paid;
