MAY'S ACME. — (See cut.) This is the very best second 
early sweet corn we have found, nearly as early as Minne- 
sota, with ears much larger; will come in right after June 
Market; earlier than Moore's Concord, and much better in 
quality, and ears larger, generally 12 rows, but sometimes 
10 or 14 rows, and 8 to 10 inches long, and remarkably pro- 
ductive. For home, use or market this will be found to be 
the very best of its season. We sell large quantities of this 
to canners for seed. Market Men: This is just what you 
want for second early corn; it cannot fail to please you and 
your customers. Farmers: This you will find the most prof- 
itable corn you can grow to feed; it will produce more bush- 
als of ears than any field corn and fatten your hogs faster 
and the fodder is worth double. Try it and be convinced.

PERRY'S HYBRID. — A large, early variety. Ripens about 
METROPOLITAN — (See cut.) This is a 
new, early variety possessing unusual merit. 
The plant is very strong and distinct, grow- 
ing to 5% feet in height. The leaves are numerous, narrow 
and very dark green in color. Each plant produces from 2 
to 3 ears, which are all set very low, not over 18 inches from 
the ground. The ears are uniformly 9 inches long, 10 to 12 
rowed, well filled to the tip _ 
with large, deep tender 
grains. The flavor of this 
variety surpasses in rich- 
ness and sweetness all oth- 
er known varieties. As a 
rule early varieties are not 
as rich and sweet as , the 
later ones, but this sort 
surpasses all in quality 
and should And a place in 
every garden. The husk is 
thick and heavy, rendering 
it valuable for shipping. 
No variety ever introduced 
combines in such a great 
degree all good qualities 
looked for in a perfect sort.
