THE FOUR BEST GARDEN VARIETIES. 



Mammoth White Cory, one of the largest and best extra early 

 varieties. Each stalk furnishes two or 

 more large, fine shaped ears, ready days before other large sorts. The ears 

 are twelve-rowed, very symmetrical and handsome, with no opening be- 

 tween the rows at the base. The grain is large, broad, very white, and of 

 remarkably good quality for such an early sort. The size and beauty of 

 this \ariety gives it ready sale even when the market is over-stocked. Our 

 strain is early and large. Qt., 25c; % peck, 60c; peck, $1.15; bu., $4.50. 

 Improved Early Chamoion. The Earnest Large Sweet Corn. Pro- 



- i L duces ears 12 in. long In 60 days. This 



new variety is without question the earliest large Sweet Corn yet intro- 

 duced, being only a few days later than the first early small sorts. Ears 

 nearly as large ns the Mammoth; 12 rowed; pure white kernels, with me- 

 dium sized white cob; very sweet, tender and full of milk; yielding two 

 and three ears to the stalk. The best kind for early and late planting. 

 Qt., 25c; y. peck, 60c; peck, $1.15; bu., $4.50. 



StOWell'S Everereen. The most popular main crop sweet com. Ears 

 ° numerous, kernels large, deep, white and of 



fine flavor. A late sort. To supply the right seed of this favorite has been 

 our effort for many years. Seed grown near the Eastern Atlantic Coast 

 has always shown by its flavor and shriveled ripened kernels the highest 

 percentage of sugar known. We offer both selected seed from Eastern 

 grown stock and Western grown seed from original Eastern stock.
