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 abour half an inch, and thin out to ,-5 plants to a hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the 

 row and 2 '4 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 



Golden Bantam. 



Howling-Mob. 



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 meas- 

 uring about 5 inches, but the 

 smallness of ears is fully made up 

 by the deliciously sweet flavor 

 and tender quality of the Corn 

 when cooked. It is a fine variety 

 for the home garden. PkC. lOc,

First of All. It '"•itu'-es 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 re- 

 commend sowing seed tliiiilv in 

 drills. Pkt. 10c. , pt. 15c., qt,

Livingston's Early Sugar. 



For productiveness and uniform- 

 ity of product. Livingstt)n's Early 

 Sugar is hard to beat. Where two 

 stalks stood to a hill, sixty per 

 cent of the stalks produced two 

 handsome, large ears. On hills 

 with three or more plants, we 

 counted from five to seven ears of 

 faultless shape, well-filled to tip. 

 Ears are set well up the stalk, 

 from 20 to ,^0 inches above the 

 base of plant. Pkt., containing 

 about 76 seeds, 15c., 3 for 40c.
