AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
ORIGINAL STOCK OF 
Moore's Early Sweet Corn, 
The Largest, Earliest, and Best 
Sweet Cora in Cultivation. 
Silver Medal Awarded. 
We are pleased to announce to 
our customers that we hnve again 
made arrangements with Captain 
Moure for his whole Btock of this 
favorite variety, which we intro- 
duced last season. This corn has 
been thoroughly tested in every 
put of the United States and Can- 
ndas the past year, and has proved 
all that was claimed for it. 
The following extract from the 
report of the Vegetable Committee 
of the Massachusetts II jrtieulturnl Society for 1S70 will give 
a full description : 
"The past year lwis not been so prolific- of novelties in the 
way of vegetables as some of its predecessors. In this age 
of progress, when t»> manv are engaged in striving to im- 
prove our garden, vegetables, it would seem strange indeed 
if, among tnea\ all, souiaxeal gain is not annually secured. 
Such a gain vour committee feel confident the public will 
secure in. * Moore's' new Sweet CtHCff. wl^ch, alter an- 
other season's trial, proves a decided acquisition. 
"To Capt. J. B. Mooiui, iliu well-known horticulturist of 
Concord, Mass., belong the tonor of originating this splen- 
did variety. It is a cross Wtwwn Crosby s Early and Burr's 
Improved— the former Ihfmost popular early, and the latter 
the best late variety we llftvc. After several years of great 
care and labor. Mr. Moon! has nt last succeeded In bringing 
it to its-present perfection. S*riI^ttosg,3tocJ<i>\ u'fld vigor- 
ous, growing from seven to seven and a halt feet high ; ears 
set rather low on the stalk, and having from twelve, to six- 
teen usually and occasionally twenty rows on the ear. Color, 
when fit for the table, very white and handsome. Quality 
superior, not surpassed by any other variety. Size of ears 
large, considerably larger than the Crosby, anct superior to 
any other variety, either for the market or family use, and 
very productive. It also matures earlier than any other 
variety of equal size, which will make it a very desirable 
variety for the market garden. 
*' Tlio Society's Silver Medal was awarded by your 
committee. Charles X. Beackett, Chan man." 
The following extract is from the report of same' commit- 
tee, for 1371 : 
" Moore's Early Concord Com, which, was described in our 
report of last year, was again on exhibition, from Aug. 5th 
through the season. It deserves all the praise that hds wen 
given it in previous reports, and appears to succeed as well 
witli other cultivators as in the hands of Capt. Moore, The 
first prize was awarded to James Oontlev. Aug. 12th, for this 
variety. It was also exhibited at the same date liy Capt. 
Moore, W.C. Child, and other* in line condition. At the 
annual exhibition in September, the first and second prizes 
were awarded this variety.
