CULTURE. — Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thin out to 

 two or three. Where the ground is strong- the Adam's Extra Early and Crosby's Sugar can 

 be planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more dwarfish than 

 the other kinds. Plant for a succession from February to June. 



Extra Early or Crosby's Dwarf Sugar. 



This is a very tender vatiety and of excellent 

 quality. Ears small, but very sweet. It is 

 not so extensively planted as it deserves to be. 

 Adam's Extra Early. The earliest kind, 

 but ears are small, and not as desirable as the 

 Adam's Early, which follows this variety 

 closely in maturity. • 





Early Sugar or 

 New England Corn. 



Evergreen 

 Sugar Corn. 



Frotscher's Adam's Early. This is almost 

 exclusively planted for the first roasting ears 

 by the market gardeners. The ears are of good 

 size, but otherwise for the table, only same as 

 common corn. Strange to say, the gardeners 

 do not plant any sugar corn for the market. 

 We sell hundreds of bushels of St. Charles 



and other varieties of field corn, to be planted 

 for the market, to be sold green. 



Early Sugar or New England. A long 

 eight-rowed variety, which succeeds the Extra 

 Early sorts. Desirable kind. 



Stowell's Evergreen Sugar. This is 

 the best of all Sugar Corn. It is early, the 

 ears are of large size and are well filled. It 



Best of All Corn. Extra Early Sugar Corn. 



remains green longer than any other variety, 

 and is quite productive. The cultivation of 

 this excellent cereal, as well as all other Sugar 

 Corn, is much neglected, yet why people will 

 plant ccmmon field-corn for table use, consi- 

 dering size instead of quality, we cannot 

 understand. 



First in the Market Sugar. A new vari- 

 ety of Sugar Corn for which we claim to be 

 the earliest in the market. It is fully two 

 weeks earlier than Extra Early Crosby and 

 nearly a week earlier than any Corn. It is a 

 good producer, more prolific than Extra Early 



For a yellow field corn nothing surpasses the Improved Yellow Learning.
