First-Crop. Superior to all other very early sorts, larger, earlier and very much sweeter; of dwarf 
habit; kernels white; ears eight-iowtd and of good size. The sweetest sort for first crop. This sort is 
similar to “ First of All,” except in quality, w hich is so much superior in sweetness to that sort that we 
drop it from list. F'irst-Crop is the best very early Corn we have ever grown. 
Country Gentleman (new). The “Country Gentleman” is the finest of all sweet Corns, and 
will delight the most fastidious epicure, rGainir g its delicate tendeiness and flavor even when a little old. 
For private family use, where quality is of the first consideration, it has no equal. The ears are of good 
size, and arc produced in great abundance, frequently bearing four good cars, while the average is three 
ears to a stalk. The cob is very small, giving great depth to the kernels, which are of pearly whiteness. 
But the gnat merit of the “ Country Gentleman ” Corn is its delicious quality. 
Cory. A standard extra early sort; good for home use and extra for market.

Excelsior” arc identical. *
