CORN . Continued 
Gill’s Early White Market (New) 
The earliest Sweet Corn. By planting this variety, 
you can enjoy good fresh Sweet Corn a week to ten 
days earlier than you otherwise would. Many ears 
measure 8 inches long and have 12 to 14 rows of 
pure white kernels. The quality of the Corn is ex¬ 
cellent for so early a variety, being better than any 
other kind that matures quickly. We are sure mar¬ 
ket growers will find this a very profitable Corn as 
it can be put on the market before any other var¬
