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 fortu- 

 nate in being able to offer to our customers 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 va- 

 rieties. However, 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.

Adam's Extra Early. This is not a true 

 Sweet Corn, being hard and flinty when dry. 

 However, it is valuable for northern sections.
