introduced this variety four years ago. and after repeat¬ 
ed trials and tests with other early varieties, we firmly 
believe this is the earliest variety of sweet corn m ex¬ 
istence. I he ears are small rather pointed and when 
mature, the kernels arc much shrivelled It is of course 
intended only for fust early and as a week's time makes 
a great difference in the profits of a market gardener

seed of this variety is planted 
on good soil the yield undet 
good cultivation is from 100 to 
12s bushels of shelled corn per

formed each havinc from 
fou-.tein to twenty-four rows of long kernels of a deep 
bright yellow color It is not a hard flint corn but very 
sweet and nutritious yielding a large amount of excel¬ 
lent fodder It is a sure cropper and hardy but should 
not be grown in lhe extreme North where the season is
