EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 
German— S53eIf(i5rom. French— Mais. 
Swedish— Socker Majs, Spanish— Maiz. 
Culture — This requires a good soij and a warm situation Com- 
mence for first early, by planting the early varieties about May 1, 
and, if a continuous supply is wanted all summer, make plantings 
about two weeks apart, from May 1 until the last of July, first plan t- 
ng early varieties, then later ones. Plant in rows three feet apart, 
and make the hills about the same distance apart in the rows. Five 
kernels in the hill are plenty. Cover about one inch deep for early, 
and a little deeper for late. Thin to three plants in a bill. Give fre- 
quent and thorough but s/ia/tow cultivation until the tassels appear. 
WHITE COB CORY— This is a decided improvement on the 
Id Early Cory, and on account of its white cohs is preferred by 
many to the old variety. It ripens very early, and the ears, although 
rather small, are of excellent qualitv. Pkt. 5c, pt. 80c. qt. 85o. 
RED COB CORY— Same as White Cob Cory, except that the 
ears are red and the grains a light pink. 
MAMMOTH WHITE CORY— The largest and best extra early 
wcct corn. The stalks are no larger than those of the Cory, and ma- 
ture their ears fully as early, but the ears are 12 instead of 8 rowed, 
verjr much largerand'quite free from the open space between the rows 
which is such an objectionable feature of the old Corv. The grain is 
very white, the quality is good, and the size and beauty of the ears 
give this variety ready sale even if the market is glutted with other 
sorts. Pkt. 10c, pt. SOc, qt. 35c, bushel $4. 
EARLY MINNESOTA— A standard early variety that has 
neld a high place in the list of sweet corns ever since its introduction. 
The ears are of good size, well flavored and of the best cooking qual- 
ities. Valuable for cither private or market use. Pkt. 6o, pt. 20o, 
Qt. 35o. 
PERRY'S HYBRID— Ripens quite early, about the same time 
as Early Minnesota, and the ears are of a larger size. Usually con- 
tain about 12 to 14 rows of kernels, well filled to the end. The ker- 
nels are large, sweet, tender and pure white. Cob red. By many 
;ardcuers this is claimed to be the best second eariy cpm ever intro- 
duced. Pkt. 5c, pt. 20o, qt. 30o. 
TRUTMPH — This resembles very much the Early Minnesota in 
shape and style of growth. The stalks are large, producing hand- 
some, well-filled ears, with large kernels, that are tender, rich and 
iweet. An excellent home or market variety. Pkt. 6c, pt. SOc, qt. 
B5c. 
BAIiLARD, or Chicaaro Uarket— This variety, known through- 
out the West and Northwest as Chicago Market, i« undoubtedly one

time as the Cory, and is a splendid variety for market use. Pkt. 6o.

forms rather small cars, but is productive and of excellent quality. Pkt.

ety in the South, and can be depended on to given crop there when 
most other sorts .fail. Stalks short, with no suckers, very few tassels, 
bearing a single, very full, short, many rowed ear, often nearly as thick 
as it is long, and well covered with coarse husks ; kernels white and

its season. We sell large quantities of this to cauners for seed. Market Men: This is just what yon want for second early corn. It cannot 
fail to please you and your customers. Farmers : This you will find the most profitable corn you can grow to feed. It will produce more bush-
