Avon Evergreen Sweet Corn 
This is one of the best vegetable introductions in many years. It stands alone in its class. Those who 
ltke the old reliable Stowell’s Evergreen will find in Avon Evergreen a variety better in every way. It is a 
trine earlier, of superior quality, lias a longer ear and thicker kernel. We have developed Avon Evergreen 
at our Oakview Stock Seed harm in Avon township by crossing Stowell’s Evergreen with Mammoth and 
apparently we have retained the desirable characteristics of both. Its being a mid-season kind allows the sun¬ 
shine to develop more sugar in Avon Evergreen than is possible in strictly extra early sorts: also it has time to 
attain its large size. Perhaps no other variety of corn exemplifies so perfectly the possibilities in plant develop- 
lnent. Nowhere is the difference between the product of modern corn breeding and the old roasting ear more 
clearly shown than in this triumph of patient skill. The market gardener who is able to supply his patrons 
with Avon Evergreen will have the distinction of furnishing the best evergreen corn that grows. 
Ears cylindrical, about nine inches long, well filled at ends, fourteen or sixteen even rows. Grain very 
white, tender, delicious in sugary flavor, thick and of good depth. Stalk vigorous, seven to eight feet high,
