PARIS GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING (best 
imported).—One of the very best for general use. The 
ribs are perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious 
flavor, surpassed by no other variety, while it has the 
decided merit of being self-blanching to a remarkable 
degree. The heart is large, solid, and of a .rich golden 
yellow color. l>o not fail to give this variety a trial.

AMBER CREAM — One of the sweetest and 
best of the sweet corns. This was my favorite when a 
boy home with my father. Quite a number of years 
ago we lost stock of it, and I have only been able to 
get it again this season. I think all who try this will 
be well pleased with it. The matured seeds are an 
amber red, but the ears when in a fit condition for use 
are a rich creamy color. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30c. ;qt., 50c.,

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN — Except for first 
early, there is perhaps nothing in the old standard 
sorts that is near so popular or that will begin to equal 
Stowell’s Evergreen. It is one of the best for second 
early, mid-season or late. Every market gardener and 
every private market gardener in the land knows that 
there is perhaps three times as much of this variety 
grown as any other. It is in high esteem for main 
crops or late use, being a special favorite with trucker*
