EVERBE ARISG SWEET CORX. — The ear? are of good size, and are cov- 

 ered with kernels clear to the end of the cob. The busk and stalks are of a red 

 color. Ripening a few days after the Stabler's Early, each stalk will produce 

 one to two well-developed ears: now if these are picked when mature, one to 

 two and even four more ears will set and develop on the same stalks during the 

 next two to four weeks, single stalks producing daring the season fre- 

 quently as many as six large, weli-deve loped ears. This is a most 

 remarkable and desirable qualification. 3 or 4 dozen bills from one plant- 

 ing will supply a good-sized family with a succession of the most dell- 

 cions Sweet Corn for weeka. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



-"UACLE'S XX SUGAR CORX This corn comes from one of the most suc- 

 cessful market gardeners in the L'nited States, who has grown this variety to the 

 exclusion of all other sorts for the last 20 years; although he has tried every other 

 known variety, he has never succeeded in securing anything that would begin 

 to come up to XX, either in productiveness, quality, or above all, In 

 quick market sales. It is fit for the table in 9 to 10 weeks from planting, and 

 is of the most delicious, sweet and sugary flavor: and It remains longer in an 

 edible condition than any other variety. It is of comparatively dwarf hab- 

 it, stalks seldom growing more than 4 to 5 feet high. While it matures in a com- 

 paratively short period of time, it produces 12 to 16-rowed ears as large as Ever- 

 green, which are set low on the stalks. Three well-developed ears are often ma- 

 tured on a single stalk. Planted as late as the middle of July, it has fre- 

 quently matured a most excellent paying market crop. To sum up, 

 Muule's XX Sugar, while a medium variety, produces ears as large as any other, 

 excepting Maule's Mammoth; and is in every %vay a most desirable sort. So pop- 

 ular with my customers that for years I have never had enough to go round. 

 Packet. 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart. 50 cents. 



NEW CORY SWEET CORN The earliest of all Sweet Corns, except- 

 ing First of All. Originated by Mr. Cory, of Rhode Island, he has been able to 

 supply for many years the first Sweet Corn to Providence, Newport and Fall 

 River markets. It is not only much earlier than the Marblehead. but produces 

 much finer, larger and sweeter ears than this well-known extra early. It is very 

 dwarf in growth, producing almost invariablv two ears to the stalk. Ears have 

 been fit for boiling 52 days from planting. Two crops can readily be grown 

 on the same ground In a single season. A large grower of vegetables near 

 Newport, R. L, from about six acres, marketed July 7th. 7,000 dozen ears, at 35 

 cents, and bv July 16th, 15,000 dozen ears at 30 cents, while Marblehead, not ready 

 until 7 or 8 days later, brought only 20c. per doz. Demand has been so great the 

 last ti seasons as to soon exhaust my supDly. Pkt., 10c; pint, 20c; qt., 35 cts.
