THE CHOICEST WHITE SWEET CORN 



While the yellow varieties of Sweet Corn 

 described on 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 consider ourselves 

 fortunate in being able to offer to our cus- 

 tomers a comprehensive assortment of 

 quality kinds maturing in succession. Of 

 course, quality in an extra-early variety 

 should not be measured by the same stand- 

 ards as that of the later varieties. How- 

 ever, we do not offer a single variety which 

 has not one good characteristic or another, 

 otherwise it would not be entitled to a 

 place in the ranks of the pedigreed quality 

 Sweet Corns described below. 



THE EARLIEST WHITE 

 SORTS 



Adam's Extra Early. This is not a true 

 Sweet Corn, being hard and flinty when dry. 

 However, it is valuable for northern sec- 

 tions. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 20 cts., lb. 35 

 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50. 



Early Mayflower. In season between 

 Aristocrat and White Cory offered below. 

 Ears average 6 to 8 inches long and are 

 almost uniformly 8-rowed. Of splendid 

 quality for an extra-early kind. Pkt. 10 

 cts., V 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 80 

 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 



Premo. 6odays. One of the earliest; ears 

 of good size for so early a variety; quality 

 good. Pkt. 10 cts., V 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 40 

 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3. 



White Cory. 6o days. Earlv; ears 6 to 7 inches long; of good 

 quality. Pkt. 10c, l/ 2 lb. 20c, lb. 35c, 2 lbs. 60c, 10 lbs. $2.50. 



tui .1 Il/L*f f After considerable experimenting 



lVlammOtrl WnltG VOry. with many varieties we have come 

 to the conclusion that this is the earliest of all Sweet Corns that 

 really can be called such. Of course, it is not fair to expect an extra- 

 early variety to develop the flavor which the longer-growing sorts 

 have. Nevertheless, Mammoth Cory develops 6-inch ears, contain- 

 ing ioor 12 rowsof as delicious kernels as anyone may expect within 

 65 days after seeds are sown. Pkt. 10 cts., V 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 45 

 cts., 2 lbs. 80 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 



About 10 days after Mammoth Cory becomes fit 

 to use, you may gather the first ears of Aristocrat. 

 But when you get them you will agree with us that they have been 

 well worth waiting for. Aristocrat produces handsome, 8-inch ears 

 containing almost uniformly 1 2 rows of both broad and deep kernels, 

 on a red cob. While a red cob is considered an indication of quality in connection with most varieties, this holds 

 particularly true with Aristocrat. Another indication of quality in this variety is the red color of the dry 

 kernels, while in the proper stage as "roasting ears." kernels of Aristocrat are pure white. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 y 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 80 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 



Howling Mob. 68 days. Larger than Cory and a few days later. Ears of very attractive appearance and 

 finest quality. Pkt. 10 cts., V 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 80 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 



Early Champion. 70 days. Ears large and full. After Perry's Hybrid. 10- or 12-rowed; quality excellent. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 40 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3. 



Kendel's Early Giant. 75 days. A week later than Cory but larger; a popular market variety. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 l/ 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 40 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3. 



Early Evergreen, go davs. The earliest of the Evergreen type, of extraordinary size for a 90-day variety. 

 Quality best. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50. 



Stowell's Evergreen. 95 days. Grown more than any other sort. Ears large, with deep, sugary grains; 

 remains fit for use a long time. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50. 



See illustration. The finest strain in cultivation today. Surpasses Stowell's in uni- 

 formity of ear, while its individual kernels are considerably deeper than those of 

 Stowell's. Withal, it is of extraordinary quality for so late and large a sort. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 40 

 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3. 



Country Gentleman. 95 days. The ears of this popular variety are of good size and are well filled with deep, 

 grains of delicious quality. Cobs small. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 80 cts, 10 lbs. $3.25. 



Early Mammoth. 95 davs. Earlier than Late Mammoth; ears as long, but more tapering; tender and of 

 fine flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., %lb. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50. 



Late Mammoth. 100 days. A large-eared late variety, maturing after Evergreen. Ears thick, with many 

 rows of broad grains of excellent quality. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 lb. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 10
