F-arlv Fverareen We have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that were claimed to be earlier than 
rerry S E-ariy ^vcrgrcen stowell s Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found any of them so 
valuable as tlie stock or tins variety we offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds aud in the lield to come into fit 
condition for use much earlier than Stowell s Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven to seven 
and one-half inches long, with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best 
quality. Plants about six and one-half to seven feet high. A standard main crop 
variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning. Pkt. 10c-

A P Those who like the old reliable Stowell's Evergreen will 
AVOn uvergreen find in Avon Evergreen a variety better in every way. It

a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best, known 
of all late sorts. Earsabout seven to eight inches long, fourteen to twenty rowed; 
stalks about seven and one-half feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25

CORN SALAD —Fetticus or Lamb’s Lettuce 
A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The leaves 
are used as a substitute for lettuce and spinach. 
During August and September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, 
covering with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. On the ap¬ 
proach of severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will also 
do well if the seed is sown very early in the spring and like most salad plants, are 
greatly improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcely be made 
too rich for them. The seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from much 
that appears on the market. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 25c.
