VEGETABLE SEEDS 



THE CHOICEST WHITE SWEET CORN 



While the yellow varieties of Sweet Corn described on the preceding page have made rapid strides in popular favor, the white sorts offered 

 on this page are still considered the standard and will continue to be so for some years to come. We offer a comprehensive assortment of 

 quality kinds maturing in succession. Of course, quality in an extra-early variety should not be measured by the same standards as that of 

 the later varieties. However, we do not offer a single variety which has not one good characteristic or another. 



THE EARLIEST WHITE SORTS 



BECKERT'S EARLIEST. This is the first of all Sweet 

 Corns to produce ears for the table, earlier even than Mam- 

 moth White Cory, Premo, Golden Bantam, and other extra- 

 early sorts. Moreover, it is of very good quality for such 

 an early variety. It is dwarf in growth, with stalks about 



4 feet tall, each usually bearing two good ears. The ears 

 are 6 to 7 inches long, with 8 or 10 rows of broad, white 

 kernels. Pkt. 15 cts., Y lb. 20 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 

 55 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35, 10 lbs. $2.50. 



ADAM'S EXTRA-EARLY. Not a true Sweet Corn, but 



useful in some sections on account of its hardiness, as it can 



be planted a week or so earlier, and matures where the sea- 

 sons are too short for any of the real Sweet Corns. Pkt. 



10 cts., Y lb. 20 cts., lb. 25 cts., 2 lbs., 40 cts., 5 lbs. 



$1.15, 10 lbs. $2.00, 100 lbs. $16.00. 

 ARISTOCRAT. About a week later than Mammoth White Cory; 



ears larger, being uniformly 8 inches long with 10 rows of very 



broad, deep kernels, on a red cob. Kernels tinged with red when 



ripe but pure white in the eating stage and very sweet. Aristocrat 



is the best of the red cob varieties. Pkt. 10 cts., Y^°- 20 cts., 



lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 55 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35, 10 lbs. $2.50. 100 lbs. 



$18.00. 



PREMO. One of the earliest of the true Sugar Corns. Ears 8- 

 rowed and of fair size; quality good. Pkt. 10 cts., J^lb. 15 cts., 

 Ib. 25 cts., 2 lbs. 45 cts., 5 lbs. $1.15, 10 lbs. $2.00, 100 lbs. 

 $16.00. 



MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. This is, without a doubt, the 

 earliest Sweet Corn that develops an ear of good size and quality. 

 Maturing with Premo, it is earlier and of better quality than the 

 old-fashioned Cory, while the ears grow 7 to 8 inches long, with 10 

 or 12 rows of sweet, white kernels, and are generally produced 

 two on a stalk. For extra-early market or for first in the home- 

 garden. Mammoth White Cory is unexcelled. Pkt. 10 cts., J-^lb. 

 20 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 55 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35, 10 lbs. $2.50, 

 100 lbs. $16.00. 



EARLY MAYFLOWER. Very similar to Mammoth White Cory, 

 and a popular variety in some sections. Pkt. 10 cts., J^lb. 20 

 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 55 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35, 10 lbs. $2.50, 100 lbs. 

 $18.00.
