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 IMPROVED EARLIEST. This is one of the 

 first of all sweet corns to produce ears for the table. Earlier 

 even than the Mammoth White Cory, Premo, Golden 

 Bantam, and other extra early sorts. 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 2 good 

 ears. The ears are 6 to 7 inches long, with 10 to 12 rows of 

 broad white kernels. Pkt. 15 cts., lb. 20 cts., lb. 

 35 cts., 2 lbs. 65 cts., 5 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. $2.70. 



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 2 lb. 20 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 55 cts., 5 lbs. 



$1.40, 10 lbs. $2.50. 

 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., J^lb. 25 cts., 



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

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



rowed and of fair size; quality good. Pkt. 10 cts., Y-^h. 20 cts., 



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

 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., Hlb. 



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

 EARLY MAYFLOWER. Very similar to Mammoth White Cory. 



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



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