 erior quality, sweet and of delicious flavor. Ex- 

 tremely valuable to market gardeners for first 

 early. Per. pkt. 5cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts.,

 rowed, much larger in size, white cobbed. No

 pete with it as an extra early, and thus the mar-

 of the early trade. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts.,

 rowed; pure white kernels, with medium sized 

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