Mammoth White Cory Corn 
We consider this unquestionably the best extra early corn. 
The ears are very large for so early a variety. The stalks are 
about four feet high, each usually bearing two finely shaped 
ears which become fit for use as early as those of any variety in 
cultivation. They are twelve rowed, six to seven inches long, 
very symmetrical and handsome, seldom with any opening be¬ 
tween the rows at the base. Grain large, broad, very white and 
of remarkably good quality for such an early sort. The size and 
beauty of this variety give it ready sale even when the market 
is overstocked. (See cut on this page and further description ,

White Malakhof Corn 
A handsome, very early sweet corn of splendid quality. The 
stalks are about four feet high. The ears are about five inches 
long, twelve rowed, slender but with very small cob which is 
well filled with small, deep, sweet and tender grains. It follows 
closely Mammoth White Cory in time of maturing. This varie¬ 
ty was developed by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture through selection of the white grained 
ears of the Malakhof and differs from the original stock in be¬ 
ing much more uniform in shape and character of both ear and 
grain, decidedly earlier and of better quality. ( See cut , pagejo)

White Mexican Corn 
This is a comparatively new early sweet com of very rich 
flavor. Stalks about four and one-half feet high. Ears about 
eight inches long, usually eight rowed; matures earlier than 
Black Mexican and is of better quality than any other early va¬ 
riety of equally large size. The variety as offered by us is far 
superior to much that has been sold under this name. Pkt. 10c;

Klondike Cucumber 
Market growers have of late 
years found an increasing demand 
for an ideal slicing cucumber and 
they have been seeking a variety 
which would grow to a suitable 
size for shipping without turning 
a very light green color as do 
many varieties of excellent quali¬ 
ty. Klondike is a recent de¬ 
velopment which seems to an¬ 
swer fully all the requirements of 
an ideal slicing cucumber. It is 
a medium early, white spined cu¬ 
cumber of handsome, very dark 
green color and of excellent quali¬ 
ty. Vines very hardy and pro¬ 
ductive. Fruits when mature 
about eight inches long, uniform 
in size and shape. The dark 
green color is retained much longer 
than any other sort with which we

Klondike 
Pickle factories are very exacting in their requirements for a bottle 
pickle and of late in the various growing districts one strain has been 
rapidly succeeded by another in popular favor. Snow’s Pickling is a 
variety used exclusively by many large factories and the call for it led us 
to make careful trials and then grow a very fine lot of stock seed pro¬ 
cured from the originator. It is an early maturing, very small, dark 
green cucumber, cylindrical and square ended, and we believe meets in 
all respects the requirements of those who want an ideal bottle pickle.
