EARLY MINNESOTA SWEET CORN 
The earliest good Sweet Corn in the world, and 
so recognized by Seedsmen, who place it always at 
head of their lists, thus attesting that gTeat law of 
Nature, that “ the further north seeds are grown, the 
earl er and better their product will he.” These are 
the most northern Seed Farms on thisContinent. The 
principle finds further illustration in our Squaw Com,
