Rlos'lr ^ t-i Tliis corn, whenin condition for the table, cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or 
I3ia.CK Mexican bluish black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For home use we consider it 
the most desirable second early sort. It does especially well for second early in the south. Stalks about six and one-half fe t 
high; ears about eight inches long; usually eight rowed. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 
17 >i 7 I r _ we have tested many samples of 
rerry S C-arly Uvergreen 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 so valuable as the stock of this variety we 
offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to 
come into fit condition for use much earlier than Stowell's Evergreen 
and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven inches long 
with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep grain 
which is of the very best quality. Plants average from six and one-half 
to seven feet high and in ear resemble those of Stowell's Evergreen, but 
differ in earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard main crop 
variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning.

toWClI S t,vergreen for the home garden, market and canning. 
It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long 
time in condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been carefully 
grown and selected to avoid the teudency to a shorter grain and 
deterioration in the evergreen character of this best known of all late 
sorts. Ears about eight inches long, fourteen to twenty rowed; stalks 
about seven and one-half feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c*

jkM .1 A rather late variety, but producing the largest ears of 
IViammOtn any sort with which we are acquainted. It is of excellent 
quality, sweet, tender and delicious and its only fault is the immense size 
of the ears, which are about twelve inches long and sixteen or eighteen 
rowed. Plant very large, about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c*

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 approach 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; V 4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c.
