Stowell's EvergTeen.-See illustration engraved from a photograph of an 

 ' ear of our improved strain. The seed which we offer is free from glaze and 

 hint and has been grown _ completely isolated from all other varieties. Its 

 qualities will not be found in the Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn as usually 

 sold, which has deteriorated generally both in quality and productiveness For 

 canning purposes the Improved Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn will prove most 

 satisfactory ; its large ears, with long, slender grains, make the most salable 

 canned corn.

 times weighing two to three pounds. It ripens a little later than the Evergreen 

 with larger cobs, the kernels being flatter, not horse-tooth shape
