Early Windsor Corn. J^'^^^^i^tflt 



most delicious variety that can be grown. Extra early. Testi- 

 monials from growers in all parts of America convince us that- 

 in this variety we have the earliest, finest flavored and most 

 productive sweet corn that has ever been produced. It is re- 

 markable for its fine 

 a^ppearance so early 

 : inj; the season, and 

 • ? while the ears are not 

 ; quite so large as the late 

 ••■.soirts, they are alwa3^,s 

 ■ we|l filled and the kernel 

 is of the best quality. 

 From actual tests in "a 

 fair season, good ears for 

 boiling can be grown in 

 50 days from planting of 

 seed. This is a record 

 which we think is un- 

 equalled by any other 

 corn. We have never 

 seen ans'thing that can 

 equal Early "Windsor, 

 either for private gar- 

 dens or for the largest 

 gardeners, who make a 

 specialty of supplying 

 the early markets. We 

 certainly recommend it 

 very highly, for we feel 

 it will please every one 

 of our customers who 

 tries it. Pkt. ioc,pt. 25c,
