Sweet Corn . . . , V. 1 A 4 ID 1 _ 
This excellent variety matures about 10 days earlier than Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green. The stalks grow about 6 Vk to 7 feet high, bearing 6% to 7-inch ears, 
with 14 to 18 more or less irregular rows of deep-set white kernels. We specially recommend this for 
the northern sections, as it matures in about 70 days. This is a good Sweet Corn to try in that garden of yours. Pkt. 7c, y 2 lb. 22c, 1 lb. 40c, 
2 lbs. 75c, 5 lbs. $1.65, 10 lbs. $2.95, prepaid. 
T^<W Tit /IT n T~T T*> Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich ground. They 
B BIB § J should not be planted in open ground until settled 
warm weather. Plant in hills four feet each way, when 
all danger from insects is past, thin out, leaving three or four of the strongest plants to the hill. 
Alneer’s New Excelsior We ^ ave 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 so valuable as the stock of this variety we 
jffer. 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. The ears are large, with sixteen to twenty rows with very long grain which is of the very best quality.
