ORIGINAL STOCK OF 
Moore’s Early Sweet Corn, 
The Largest, Earliest, ami Best 
Sweet Corn in Cultivation. 
Silver Medal Awarded. 
Wc are pleased to announce to 
our customers that we have again 
made arrangements with Captain 
Moore for his whole stock of this 
favorite variety, which we intro¬ 
duced last season. This corn lias 
been thoroughly tested In every 
part of the United States and Can¬ 
adas 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 Horticultural Society for 1S70 will give 
a full description: 
“ The past year has not been so prolific of novelties in the 
way of vegetables as some of its predecessors. In this age 
of progress, when so many are engaged in striving to im¬ 
prove our garden vegetables, it would seem strange indeed 
if, among them all, some real gain is not annually secured. 
Such a gain your committee feel confident the public will 
secure in ‘ Hooke's ' new Sweet Corn, which, alter an¬ 
other season’s trial, proves a decided acquisition. 
“To Capt. J. B. Mooee, the well-known horticulturist of 
Concord, Mass., belongs the honor of originating this splen¬ 
did variety. It is a cross between Crosby's Early and Burr’s 
Improved—the former the most popular early, and the latter 
the best late variety we have. After several years of great 
care and labor, Mr. Moore has at last succeeded in bringing 
it to its present perfection. Stalks strong, stocky, and vigor¬ 
ous, growing from seven to seven and a half 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, and 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. 
“The Society’s Silver Medal was awarded by your 
committee. Charles N. Bp.agkett, Chairman.” 
The following extract is from the report of same commit¬ 
tee, for 1871: 
“ Moore’s Early Concord Corn, 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 has Been 
given it in previous reports, and appears to succeed as well 
with other cultivators as in the hands of Capt. Moore. The 
first prize was awarded to James Comley, Aug. 12th, for this 
variety. It was also exhibited at the same date by Cant. 
Moore, XV. C. Child, and others, in fine condition. At the 
annual exhibition in September, the first and second prizes 
were awarded this variety. 
(Signed) “ Charles N. Brackett, Chairman.” .
