i^tlliy yyiliuaui. very sweet. The most delicious variety 
that can be grown. Extra Early. Testimonials from growers in all 
parts of America couvince us that we now have the earliest, finest 
flavored iand most " v«'o<^"<^tivc sweet corn that has ever been 
produced. It is remarkable for its fine appearance so early in 
the season, and while the ears are not quite so large as the 
late sorts, they are always well filled and the kernel is of the 
best quality. From actual tests in a fair season, good ears for 
boiling can be grown in fifty days from planting of seed. This is a / 
record which we think is unequalled by any 
other corn. We have never seen anything that 
can equal Early Windsor, either for private 
gardens or for" the largest gardeners, who 
make a specialty of supplying the carly mar- 
kets. We certainly recom- 
mend it very highly, for we 
feel it will pleaseevery one of 
our customers who tries it.

Early Sheffield Sweet Corn. J^f /a^r^iL %Z.ft 
Corns. Can be planted very early in spring, the plants being verv 
hardy, and can withstand light frosts. The stalks are very Strong 
and vigorous, growing about o feet in height; the leaves are nume* 
ous; the ears arc (juite large, of handsome appearance, and one or 
two on each stalk. The grains are of medium size and of remark- 
ably good quality for so early a sort. The great merit of this vari- 
ety lies in the fact it does not smut. The early Sheffield is certainly 
owing to the many good qualities it possesses, one of the most desir- 
able sorts for early trucking. Pkt. loc, pt. 2Sc, qt. 4sc, pk. $i.oo, bu.

Marblehead ^ comparatively early corn, ripening about a 
week later than the Karly Corv. It is of 
dw.irf habit and the ears are borne quite low on the stalks Tests 
prove that good sized ears may be had ready for marketing in 55 
days frow planting of seed. Pkt. 5c, pt. 25c. qt. 4SC, pk. $i.oo $■3.25. 
Mammoth White Corv. l^'-'i' The largest and 
„. . ,, , ' , -y-^^J' best extra early sweet corn. 
The stalks are no larger than those of the Corv, and mature their 
ears fully as early, but the ears are 12 instead oY 8 rowed very much 
larger and <)uite free from the open space between the rows w-hich is 
such an objectionable feature ol^ the old Cory. The grain is verv 
white, the quality is good, and the .size and beauty ol the ears give 
this variety ready sale even if the market is glutted with other sorts
