tractive ear of very white and handsome grain. It is 
one of the best varieties for fan¬ 
ners’ use. By planting it at the 
same time as Stowell’s Evergreen 
the season will be lengthened con¬ 
siderably, as the Hickox will be 
about through by the time Stow- 
ell’s Evergreen comes in; very 
prolific, ordinarily every stalk 
will have two large, fully de¬ 
veloped ears. The best sort

Crosby’s 
Early 
A most excellent variety, remarkably 
•early and of the best flavor. Ears of 
medium size, twelve-rowed or more, 
with short, nearly square grains which 
*re very tender and sweet. This is the sort 
so largely grown in Maine for canning, and 
it is the use of this variety rather than any 
peculiarity of soil, that has given Maine 
sweet corn its reputation for quality.
