Medium and Second Early Com 
HOWLING MOB — This variety originated at Toledo, Ohio, and its 
queer but appropriate name has reference to the loud and clamor- 
ous demand for the Com when brought to market. The stalks 
arc usually about 5 feet in height and produce early in the season 
two splendid ears to a stalk. The ears are 7 to 9 inches in length 
and are well covered with a heavy husk, affording protection from 
the green worms which so often are destructive to early varieties. 
There are 12 to 2-1 rows of good-sized white kernels. Lb. 4Sc.: 
% lb. ISc. (post paid, lb. SSc; M lb. 20c.). 
KENDEL'S EARLY GIANT — This variety is one of the largest Early 
Sweet Corns. It comes in soon after the Cory. Ears 8 to 10 inches 
long, 12 to 18 rowed, filled well to the tip with broad white, sweet 
kernels of excellent flavor. Stalks short, bearing one or two ears. 
Lb. 40c.; M lb. ISc. (post paid, lb. SOc; M lb. 20c.). 
CROSBY'S EARLY 
This is the favorite second-early variety; ears about seven inches 
long, with ten to twelve rows of fine grains of excellent quality. Very 
largely used for canning. Lb. 40c.; K 'b- 15c. (post paid, lb. 50c.; 
lb. 20c.). 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
Plump, pearly-white, milky kernels. Retaining its delicate tender- 
ness even when a little old. Very productive. The ear is nearly all 
Corn. . . 
It is at once the delight of the epicure and a luxury withm the 
reach of everybody. The kernels are perfectly round at the erid, but 
of extraordinary depth, the cob being extremely small; nothing, in 
fact, but a core. 
It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender -and milky, and 
remains "in the milk" longer than other Sweet Corn. The ears 
measure eight to nine inches in length and the plant is very prolific. 
The grains are slender and deep and of irregular shoe-peg arrange- 
ment. Lb. 45c.; M lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. SSc; M lb. 20c.). 
EARLY EVERGREEN — This fine variety is from ten to twelve days 
earlier than StoweU's, and though it is not quite as tall, it yields 
large, handsome ten- or twelve rowed ears. Lb. 45c, ; K lb. 15c. 
(post paid, lb. 55c.; }4 lb. 20c.). 
PERRY'S HYBRID SUGAR — A very popular and remarkably long- 
eared sort for one so early. Ears ready for use a few days later 
than the Early Cory and Minnesota, but double the size of either. 
Ears twelve-rowed; kernels large, tender and deliciously sweet. 
Stalks of great vigor, about six feet high, with two perfect ears to 
the stalk. Lb. 40c.; H lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. SOc; M lb. 20c.). 
BLACK MEXICAN — A medium-early variety, growing about six feet 
in height; ears eight inches long, well filled with eight rows of large, 
rather flat grains, which are a bluish purple, of deliciously sweet 
flavor. Lb. 40c.; M lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. 50c.; M lb. 20c.). 
STOWELL'S IMPROVED 
EVERGREEN 
For many years this variety has stood at the head of the Ust of late 
Sweet Corn, and it bids fair to hold the position for years to come. 
For main late crop, for the family garden, for the market grower and 
tlie canner, it is unexcelled. Stalk strong, bearing two 12-rowed ears, 
with large sweet kernels. Remains in good condition for some time 
after gathering, thus continuing the season after frosts. Lb. 45c.; 
'A lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. 55c.; ]4, lb. 20c.). 
ZIGZAG EVERGREEN — One of the best of all the late white varie- 
ties, of superior sweetness and productiveness, incomparable wUte- 
ness when cooked, and its fine appearance when on the table. 
Produces ears as large as StoweU's Evergreen, and, what Is very 
important, is ten days earlier. Instead of the rows being straight, 
the kernels run zigzag, hence its name. Lb. 45c.; M lb. 15c. 
(post paid, lb. 55c.; M lb. 20c.). 
MAMMOTH LATE SUGAR — A mammoth variety which produces 
larger ears than .any other sort, and of superb quality. The kernels
