Sow 15 pounds of seed per acre 
Longfellow. The variety most widely grown in New England. 
An early 8-rowed Flint Corn with long ears and compara¬ 
tively small cobs, filled to the tips with large, broad kernels. 
Rhode Island White Cap. A well-known, early, prolific 
variety from which is made the celebrated Rhode Island 
white meal. The yield is very heavy and the Corn is of the 
highest quality. Local-grown stock. 
Corn Salad 
A cool-season salad plant which matures in 40 days from 
seed sown in early spring. It makes broad rosettes of bright 
green, spoon-shaped foliage, somewhat like lettuce.

All the Best Sorts for Salads and Pickling 
For general crop, the seed cannot be planted in the open 
ground before the weather has become warm and settled and 
the ground mellow and light. Plant the seed in well-enriched 
hills, about 4 feet apart each way, and as soon as all danger 
from insects is over, thin the plants to leave four of the strong¬ 
est in each hill. For succession, sow at intervals of every two 
weeks until midsummer. Extra-early crops may be grown 
by planting the seed in hotbeds in April, upon pieces of sod 
turned upside down, and removing these to hills in the open 
ground as soon as the weather is warm enough. For pickles, 
sow the seed from the middle of June until the middle of July. 
The vines bear longer if the fruits are gathered as soon as they 
are large enough; their strength is soon exhausted by ripening 
fruit. 
One ounce of seed will sow 50 hills; 1 to 3 pounds, an acre 
Boston Pickling. 50 days. Very popular for pickles; fruit 
smooth and symmetrical, but slightly pointed at the ends; 
bright green. 
Clark’s Special Long Green. 68 days. Hardy, disease- 
resistant, medium-late variety of remarkable quality. It is 
well adapted to general use. When young make excellent 
pickles. 
Davis Perfect. 60 days. After several years’ trial, we give 
the introducer credit for all he claims for it. 
Early Cluster. 50 days. Produced in clusters, and abun¬ 
dantly; short, dark green, firm, crisp, and tender. 
Everbearing. The vines produce fruit until frost; early and 
productive. Fruits are small, well shaped, and of good 
quality for pickling. 
Fordhook White Spine. Early, productive, and suitable 
either for forcing or outdoor crops. Fruit of medium size, 
good shape, light green, with a few white spines on the 
surface. 
Improved Long Green. 72 days. The leading long-growing 
sort, and excellent for pickles. The fruits are dark green, 
long, well-shaped, firm, and crisp. 
Japanese Climbing. 55 days. Vigorous, tall-climbing, and 
clings tightly to trellises. Fruits almost straight, large, and 
from 12 to 16 inches long; skin dark green; flesh thick and
