No. 1. Early Cory. 
This variety is undoubtedly the second earliest sweet corn in cultivation, being about one week earlier than 
the Marblehead, which, previous to the introduction of this, was generally acknowledged as the earliest. It 
grows a larger kernel and a larger and more marketable ear than the Marblehead, and will soon supplant that 
variety in our markets. Its habit of growth, productiveness, and otherwise general appearance is very similar 
to the Marblehead, from which it is supposed to have been originally extracted, and over which it is a great 
improvement. It Is well worth trial and has but to be tested to be appreciated. Trice per pkt. 10 cts., pint 15 
cts., quart 30 cts., peck $1.50. 
No. 2. “Shakers’ Early.” 
The Shakers of Lebanon, N. H., thus describe this new corn : “It bears two ears to each stalk, which are well 
tilled out to the tips; the kernels are large, of a perly whiteness, and delicious in flavor. Matures about the 
same time as the Early Minnesota, but the ears are much larger.” We have no hesitation in offering aud rec- 
ommending this variety of corn, as our personal acquaintance with the parties growing it enables us to vouch 
for the truth of above description. Price, per pkt. 10 cts., pint 15 cts., quart 30 cts., peck $1.50. 
No. 3. “ Perry’s Hybrid.” 
This Is a very popular variety of recent introduction, aud possesses many excellent and superior points 
which will readily commend it to the public. It is intermediate in earliness and grows larger aud handsome 
ears, and is very productive; the quality is very line and the appearance of the ear when in condition for cook- 
ing Is very attractive. The kernel is large ami pure white in color, turning to a reddish tinge wheu ripe. Of 
the many varieties we catalogue, there seems to be none so well adapted for second early planting a^this sort, 
and it is the earliest of the large varieties; planted in connection with the “Cory,” described above, it will give 
a supply for the market as long as the season demands it. Obtaining our original stock from Messrs. Terrv & 
Co., the introducers, we have an unusually line stock to offer which we believe to be perfectly pure and genuine. 
Trice, per pkt. 10 cts., pint 15 cts., quart 30 cts., peck $1.50; price for selected ears, 15 cts. 
No. 4. Potter’s Excelsior. 
Scarcely too much can be said in favor of this most excellent corn; in all respects it combines all the desir- 
able qualities of a first -class corn, and cannot be too highly recommended to the marketmen of the country. 
It has large ears, twelve rowed each, deep kernels, and Is the most tender and delicious flavored variety among 
either the early or late sorts. It is medium late ami abundantly productive, and its remarkable flavor renders 
it unsurpassed for home consumption or a retail market trade*. Trice, per pkt. 10 cts., per pint 15 cts., per 
quart 25 cts., per 1-4 bush. $1.25. ,
