 variety grown. Very sweet, none better 'for the home

 ment over the old Early Adams. Makes larger and 

 handsomer ears and deeper grains. Ears measure

 to the ear. Of excellent table quality, and a decided 

 acquisition. Pint, 20c. Quart, 30c. Peck, $2.00.

 of any, a single ear sometimes weighing two or three 

 pounds. It ripens a little later than the evergreen,

 tooth shape. Pint, $5c. Quart, 40c. Peck, $2.50. Ears, 

 75c Dozen.

 lar, compact and sweet. Pint, 30c. Quart, 60c. Peck.
