This is one of tlio finest noil most important garden veget¬ 
ables. The varieties we oiler can t>c relied upon as being the 
very best. J >o not fail to plant the Cory, it is by far the earli¬ 
est and one of the very best in flavor. 
Cory Extra Early, this is certainly the most valuable Corn 
overset out. I tlsone or two weeks earlier than any other 
sort, the ears living large and fine, and not small and in¬ 
ferior l i ke other early sorts. The quality is also the best, 
being very sweet, tender and delicious. Its productive¬ 
ness is truly marvelous, as nearly every stalk produces 
three full sized perfect ears. It is a remarkable variety, 
and eclipses all other early sorts. I'kt., 10c.; pt., 30c.: 
qt., 50c. 
Amber Cream, medium early, strong, vigorous grower, cars 
10 to 14 inches long, with deep kernels, very rich, sugary 
and tender. A grand sort. Pkt., 10c.; pt.,25c.; qt., 40e, 
Evergreen, best late sort, and one that should occupy a place 
4n every garden. Pkt., 10e.; in.,20c.; qt., 35c. 
Mammoth, a very largo late sort, of superb quality, and con¬ 
sidered by many the finest of all Sweet Corns, it is in fact, 
a superb sort. Pkt.. 10c.; pt.,25o.; qt., 40c. 
Qress or Pep¬ 
per Grass. 
Extra Curled, this makes 
a very line salad by itself, 
and adds a fine flavor to 
other salad. Sow at fre¬ 
quent intervals during 
summer, to have a cont in¬ 
uous supply in the host 
state. This is the finest 
sort to be had. Pkt., 5c.; 
07... 10c.; lb., 65c. 
Dapdeliop. 
Improved Largo Leaved, very early and wholesome greens. 
Sow in May auil it will be fit to cut in July. This new 
Dandelion is a most valuable vegetable. Do not omit it 
from your order. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 60c. 
Em Plapt. 
New York Improved, the lx si, and really the only one worth 
growing. The Egg Plant is u truly choice vegetable and 
deserves to lie universally grown. It thrives in any good 
soil, and its fruit when sliced thin and fried in butter, 
furnish a most delicious dish, and a lino substitute for 
meat. Pkt., 5c.; o/.., 50c. 
GROUND CHERRY. 
Groupri Gherry. 
A new vegetable, something like a Husk Tomato. The in¬ 
troducer speaks thus of it: " t>ne thing which with me is one 
of the most important of all the fruits in my cookery, I do 
not recollect of ever seeing named in the Home, and t hat is 
the Ground Cherry (not the wild one.) They grow well on 
almost any dry soil,are easier raised than the Tomato, and 
are prolific bearers, and ohl such luscious fruit. For sauce 
t hey are excellent, and for pies I know of nothing that cun 
equal them in flavor and taste. They are just splendid dried 
in sugar, and they will keen, if put in a cool, dry place in the 
shuck, nearly all winter. From what I learn from friends in 
different parts of the country to whom I have sent the seeds, 
they seem to be very little known. No one after raising them 
once will ever make a garden again without devoting a small 
portion at least to the Ground Cherry.-’ We have found this 
to boa most desirable new vegetable, and will take the place 
of plums uud other fruits to a large extent.

fruit, and Is very prolific Per pkt.. 10c.
