Sweet 
or 
Su^ar 
Culture A rich, warm, alluvial soil is best, but excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, 
ordinary soil if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. Give frequent and thorough but 
shallow cultivation until the tassels appear.

White Cory 
The Largest and Best 
Extra Early Sweet Corn 
The stalks are no larger than those of the White Cob Cory, but each 
stalk furnishes two or more large, fine shaped ears which 
are fit for use before those of any other sort . 
The Ears are Twelve-Rowed, Very Symmetrical and 
Handsome with no Opening Between the Rows at the Base. 
The grain is large, broad, very white and of remarkably 
good quality for such an early sort.

Early Minnesota This old and deservedly popular 
variety is one of the best early sorts, for the market, and the 
private garden. Stalks four to five feet high w it h no suckers 
and bearing one or two ears well covered with husks: ears 
long, eight-rowed; kernels very broad, sweet and tender, 
not shrinking much in drying. By careful selection we have 
developed a stock of this standard variety which is remark¬ 
ably uniform, and in which all the good qualities that have 
made this variety so popular are intensified. l*kt. 10c;

Early Sweet or Sugar Ears long, slender, eight- 
rowed. Grain very white, tender and sugary; plant pro¬ 
ductive. hardy and' quite early. An old but excellent table 
sort. Our stock is distinct and true, and not such a mix¬

Corn, Mammoth White Cory. 
Black Mexican This corn when in condition for the 
table cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or 
bluish-black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness. For 
family use, it is considered by many the most desirable of 
the second early sorts. It does especially well for second 
early in the South. Pkt. 10c; Pt. loc; Qt. 20c; 4 qts. 60c;

»»ferry* early evergreen «« 
We have tested many samples of Evergreen Corn that were claimed to be earlier than Stowell s Evergreen, and to be 
just as good, but we have never found any of them valuable. For the past six years we have been developing this variety 
which we otter with the statement, backed by careful tests made both in the trial grounds and in the field, that 
IT WILL FURNISH EARS FIT FOR USE MUCH EARLIER THAN STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. 
The ears are like the Evergreen, very large, with about eighteen, more or less irregular rows and a very lon$: grain which is 
of the very best quality. It remains in condition for use longer than other sorts, exceeding the Stowell’s in this respect. 
The plant and ear would be pronounced by observers to be a fine stock of the old variety though fit for use one to two weeks 
earlier. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.00
