Dependable Vegetable 
SWEET CORN 
Second Early Varieties 
Early Evergreen. This fine variety is ten 
to twelve days earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen 
and yields large, handsome, ten or twelve- 
rowed ears. 
Late Varieties 
Country Gentleman. This variety is often 
called the "shoe peg’’ corn, owing to the 
arrangement of the crowded kernels which 
are long and very sweet. It is far ahead in 
flavor of any of the late varieties. It remains 
tender and fit for use longer than most sorts, 
as the ear is enclosed in a thick husk which 
keeps it "in the milk.” The ears average 
nine inches in length and are borne from two 
to five and sometimes six on each stalk. The 
cob is small and very closely packed from tip 
to butt with slender, pure white kernels of 
the finest quality. If you try this variety 
you will like it. 
Improved Black Mexican. This variety 
has for a number of years had the reputation of 
being the sweetest of all sweet corn. When 
cooked, the ear i< white witha bluish tinge to¬ 
wards the base of the kernel, but when dried the 
appearance of the seedis so entirely distinct 
from any other com as to be always remember¬ 
ed, the kernels being of a deep bluish black. 
Every year we have a number of inquiries from 
those who have known this corn, but who have 
forgotten its name and remember it only as the 
"black corn that was so very sweet." The stead¬ 
fast remembrance and desire for this corn has in¬ 
duced us to offer Improved Black Mexican. It 
must still rank as a late variety, but as it now 
matures nicely in Minnesota, it mav be safely 
grown in almost any part of the United States. 
Stowell’s 
Evergreen 
Sweet Corn 
Stowell’s Evergreen. The best 
known and most largely planted of 
all the varieties. 
Stowell’s Evergreen is hard to beat 
and for a long time to come many 
will have it in preference to any 
other sort. This corn is distinguish¬ 
ed by the largo ear, the long, deep 
kernels, its rich,sugary flavor and 
its long keeping qualities. Seed has 
been selected for its sweetness, pro¬ 
ductiveness, and large size. 
'sweet corn facts 
Market gardeners and private planters 
should keep in mind the i mportant fact 
that Sweet Corn produced in the 
North is earlier and more hardy than 
the same varieties grown farther south. 
We do not think it too much to claim 
that nearly all of our varieties of Sweet 
Corn are easily a week to ten days 
earlier than the same varieties pro¬ 
duced elsewhere. 
One pound of seed will plant about 
100 hills; 12 to 15 pounds an acre in 
hills. 
Note—For succession, plant Golden 
Bantam for earliest; Peep O’Day for 
second early; Early Evergreen, for 
medium; Stowell’s Evergreen or 
Improved Black Mexican for late.
