CORN SWEET or SUGAR 
Bantam-Evergreen 
creamy yellow when in condition for the table, 
than the Golden Bantam. 
Country Gentleman 
This is one of the standard later varieties of Sweet Corn 
and a decided favorite with a great many growers. The 
ears are lon^, cob small and thickly covered with irregular 
rows of grain; sweet and delicious. A vigorous grower, 
stalks 6 to 7 feet high, 
Crosby’s Early 
An Excellent Variety of Fine Quality. 
The Crosby is planted very extensively in the New Eng- 
land States, and is a favorite for canning factories. It is 
the use of this variety which has gained for Maine sweet 
corn its reputation for quality. 
Ears are medium in size; grain short, nearly square, very 
white, tender and sweet; twelve rows or more on the ear. 
Stalks about four feet high and perfectly hardy. 
Early Evergreen 
It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the 
field to come into fit condition for use much earlier than 
Stowell’s Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as 
long. Ears about 7 inches long, with sixteen to twenty 
more or less irregular rows with very deep grain which is 
of the very best quality. A standard main crop variety for 
home garden and market; also well adapted for canning 
This new variety is the result of a direct cross between Golden Bantam and 
Stowell’s Evergreen. In the Bantam - Evergreen we have the excellent 
qualities of both parent stocks making it one of the most delicious table 
varieties ever produced. The kernels are plump and the skin very tender, 
Ears are medium to large and remain in condition for eating much longer 
90-Day Monarch 
The corn is a light color, almost white; 
does not shrink nearly as much as the average 
sweet varieties. Ears grow long and large on 
good stout stalks, very prolific. The flavor of 
the corn is excellent, and will command the 
highest price in any market. For canning 
factories the 90-DAY MONARCH heads the 
list. Medium Early. 
Charlevoix 
90-day monarch corn 
An early variety or intermediate, yel- 
low grained sweet corn of distinctive 
merit. Ears about seven inches long, usually twelve rowed and when in 
condition for use are light creamy yellow in color. The grain is rather 
short, very sweet and tender and is unsurpassed in quality. In season it 
is a few days later than Golden Bantam, but remains in condition much 
longer than that variety. An excellent sort both for the home and the 
market garden. 
Early Minnesota 
The standard early variety, of strong growth. Ears 
larger than the Cory, and matures between that variety 
and the Crosby. Eight rows of quite large sweet grain. 
Early Premo 
An Extra Early Sweet Corn 
of Splendid Quality. 
Grain is pure white on ears 5 to 7 inches long, very desir- 
able for the early market. In some localities growers claim 
the Premo matures four or five days ahead of Cory or any 
other extra early sorts. This corn is sure to prove a great 
favorite. 
Golden Bantam 
An Extremely Early Variety of 
Most Delicious Flavor. 
The skin i9 very tender, and where this corn has been 
sold by market gardeners, all customers pronounce it the 
finest sweet corn they have ever eaten. Stalks are dwarf, 
but very sturdy; ears usually 5 to 8 inches. The dry grain 
is a pretty yellow color, very firm and will stand planting 
in cold ground better than almost any other sort. 
Renders Early Giant 
Remarkably large in ear for a second early sort and very 
popular in some localities. Stalks about five and one-half 
feet high. Ears about eight inches long, twelve rowed, 
grain rather broad and shallow, quality excellent. 
Mammoth White Cory 
One of the Largest and Best Extra 
Early Varieties of Sweet Corn. 
A favorite with market gardeners on account of the size 
and beauty of the ears, and is as early as any sweet corn 
in cultivation. 
Stalks grow strong, about four feet high, and nearly 
every one bears two good ears. The grain is large, broad 
and of excellent quality for so early a corn 
Black Mexican 
This corn, when in condition for the 
table, cooks remarkably white, but the 
— ripe grain is black or bluish black.. It is 
surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For family use we consider it 
the most desirable second early sort. It does especially well 
for second early in the south. Stalks about six feet high. 
Rice Pop Corn 
A very handsome 
and prolific var- 
iety. Ears short ; 
kernels long, pointed and resemble rice ; color white. 
Probably no variety of pop corn is superior to this 
for parching.

Curled, or Pepper Grass s r a hi ,y m i! 
illicit used with lettuce, to the flavor of which its 
yarm, pungent taste makes a most agreeable addition. 
RICE POP CORN 
Stowell’s Evergreen 
The standard main crop variety, and if planted at 
the same time with earlier kinds, will keep the table 
supplied until October. It is hardy and productive, 
very tender and sugary, remaining a long time in con- 
dition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been care- 
fully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to' a shorter 
grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of 
this best known of all late sorts.
