tABLY MINNESOTA SWET 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 great law 
of Nature, that “ the further north seeds are grown, 
the earlier and better their product will be.” These 
are the most northern Seed farms on this Continent. 
The principle finds further illustration in our Squaw 
Corn. Red River Corn. North Star Golden Dent Corn,
