3ucfer Horn Mais Maiz 



The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground has 

 become warm ; for a succession continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet 

 apart each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants to a hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the 

 row and iVi feet between the rows. In elevated and mountainous districts we would recommend the Early and Second Early sorts only, 

 and plantings to be made not later than June Twentieth to July First. 



1 qt. will plant 200 hills ; 8 to 10 qts. to an acre, in hills 



EXTRA-EARLY 



First of All (Burpee.) It matures from three days to a week 



— ^ ^ earlier than the Cory. The small ears are well filled 



with quite large grains, frequently having from ten to twelve rows. 

 The plant is so dwarf that we recommend sowing seed thinly in 

 drills. Pkt. lOc, pt. 16c., qt. 26c., Hpk. 80c.. pk. $1.50. 



Golden Bantam The -fact that the grains of this variety are 

 — — — yellow is an indication of hardiness and its 

 value for early planting and early maturity. It is a rapid grower, 

 and produces ears measuring about 5 inches, but the smallness of 

 ears is fully made up by the deliciously sweet flavor and tender qual- 

 itv of the Corn when cooked. It is a fine variety for the home garden. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 16 cts., qt. 26 els., }*pk. 85 cts., pk. $1.60. 



Howlin^-Mob ready for use only three to five days later 

 than the extra-early Cory when both are planted 

 at the same time, but the ears are so much larger in size, while the 

 grains are so much whiter and sweeter. For the earliest supply of 

 fine, large, handsome ears, having the true sweet or sugary flavor, 

 we feel sure that we cannot recommend the Howling-Mob too 

 strongly either for home use or to the gardener. Pkt. 10c. , pt. 16c., 

 qt. 25c., ^^pk. 85c., pk. $1.60. 



Peep-O'-Dav Originating in the far North, this variety is there- 



— — fore extremely early in maturing. Besides this 



very important feature, it is a Sweet Corn in the true sense of the 

 word, being remarkably sweet and tender. The stalks grow about 

 3^^ feet high, are unueually prolific, producing from two to five ears 

 each, which measure about s inches in length and are well filled.
