Every family garden ought to have a selection of Sweet 
G*>m, from the earliest to the latest varieties. Fine for 
toying, as well as for summer table use. 
®ti lids’ Honey Dew— A superb novelty. For years seedsmen 
have been working to get a corn as early as the Cory, 
with large ear, white cob and superb quality of the later 
varieties. We at last have it. Childs’ Honey Dew is 
not only the earliest, but has a good sized ear, white cob, 
and large, pearly kernels of the very finest quality, ten¬ 
der, sweet and nutritious. It also keeps a long time in 
good condition before hardening, and runs perfectly 
uniform, every ear exactly alike. In all-round good 
qualities it is the finest of all Sweet Corns. It grows to 
medium height and the ears are formed low, and two or 
three or each stalk. Mr. Willard, the extensive seed-corn 
S ower of Weathersfield, Conn., who grew an acre of the 
oney Dew the past season, says : “It is the finest Early 
Corn.” This is undoubtedly the most important veget¬ 
able novelty of last year, and we are now prepared to , 
supply it in quantity for the use of market gardeners. | 
It is the most profitable corn to plant, combining as it 
does good size and color, luscious quality, handsome 
appearance and long keeping, and earliest to mature. 
Pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; quart, 50c. We will send a peck by 
express for $1.00, or a bushel for $3.50.
