MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. This strain is as 

 early as the original Cory. The ears are 12- 

 rowed, much larger in size, white cobbed'. No 

 other Sweet Corn will find ready sale, as this is 

 king of the market, for no other variety can 

 compete with it as an extra early, and thus the 

 market gardener who raises it monopolizes the 

 cr^am of the early trade. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 

 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.00, bu. $3.50. 



EARLY CHAMPION. The earliest large Sweet 

 Corn. Produces ears ten inches long in 60 days. 

 This variety is. without question, the earliest 

 large Sweet Corn yet introduced, being only a 

 few days later than the first early small sorts. 

 Ears nearly as large as the Mammoth twelve- 

 rowed; pure white kernels, with medium sized 

 white cob ; very sweet, tender, and full of milk, 

 yielding from two to three ears to the stalk. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.00, 

 bu. $3.50. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. This variety is 

 more largely planted than any otheT, being the 

 general favorite with canners and market gar- 

 deners for late use. It is very productive, the 

 ears are of large size, grains deep, exceptionally 

 tender and sugary, and remain for a long time 

 in an edible condition. This variety is necessary 

 to every warden. Our stock is very fine and 

 specially recommended. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 

 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $3.00. 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. This excellent va- 

 riety is regarded as the sweetest corn grown. It 

 is pre-eminentlv an epicure variety, being the 

 sweetest and most tender of all. The ears are 

 medium, cob small, kernels of extraordinary 

 depth, pearly whiteness. It is very productive, 

 bearing from two to four ears on the stalk. It

WHITE EVERGREEN. An ideal type of Sto- 

 well's Evergreen, so long known as the finest 

 main crop corn, only it is pure white ! The 

 quality has been so improved that we now have 

 in White Evergreen the finest Sweet Corn in the 

 world! The ears are very large and average 

 well; they are uniformly well-filled to the tip 

 with long slender grains of the purest white- 

 ness and most delicious sweet flavor. Market 

 gardeners, canners and all lovers of sugar corn 

 have been looking for a white sweet corn as 

 good as Stowell's. They now have it white, 

 sweet and tender, of the finest quality.

GOLDEN BANTAM. This new variety of yel- 

 low grained Sweet Corn is one of the richest in 

 flavor of any corn grown. Of extreme hardi- 

 ness, can be planted earlier than any other true 

 sweet corn, and will then produce the earliest 

 supply of ears for the table. The stalks grow 

 about four feet in height and average about two 

 good ears to each stalk. The ears are 5 to 6 

 inches in length. The flavor is exceptionally 

 rich and sugary, claimed to be the sweetest of 

 all corns. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 



. cts., pk. $1.00. 



EARLY EVERGREEN. This variety is a se- 

 lection from the Stowell's Evergreen. It 

 possesses every good quality of Stowell's 

 Evergreen and resembling it in every re- 

 spect, except that the stalk is about one foot 

 shorter, more closely joined, and that it will 

 mature fully 10 days earlier. It is a splendid 

 variety to come in between the early and the 

 late sorts. There is no better variety than the 

 Early Evergreen for the market gardener who 

 wishes to get the cream of the trade. It will 

 no doubt become a popular variety. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.00, bu. 

 $3.50. 



Sweet Fodder Corn 



SWEET FODDER CORN. There is nothing 

 better for green feed, or for curing for winter 

 than sweet corn. Cattle highly relish it, and 

 when fed on it keep in fine condition and give 

 an abundance of milk. It has the great merit 

 of being so sweet and palatable that cattle eat 

 every part of the stalks and leaves. Also ex- 

 cellent for soilintr. Sow in drills or broadcast.
