Early Sheffield Sweet Corn. fh"e%a°'

stalk. The grains are of medium size and of remarkably good quality for so <tirly a sort. The great n

Earlv Windsor The earnest ot an sugar corns. 
Very sweet. The IVIost Delicious Var- 
Early. Testimonials from growers in all 
parts ot America convince U3 
that we now have the earliest, 
finest flavored and most pro- 
ductive early sweet corn that 
has ever been produced. It is 
remarkable for it.s fine api)ear- 
ance so ejirly inthesea.son,and 
while the ears are not quite so 
large as the late sorts, tliey are 
always well filled and the ker- 
nel is of the te,st quality. From 
actual tests In a fair sea- 
son, good ears for boiling 
can be grown in fifty days 
from sowing ot seed. This 
is a record which we think 
is unequaled by any ^ther 
corn. We have never seen 
anything that can equal Early 
Windsor, either for private 
gardens or for the largest gar- 
deners, 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 custom- 
ers who tries it Pkt. lOc, pt.
