CORN 
SWEET OR SUGAR 
OREGON EVERGREEN. This is without doubt the best 
sweet corn ever grown, and is a great favorite among mar¬ 
ket growers in this section. It is very productive, bearing 
long, well-filled ears, and is of a particularly fine flavor. 
Many varieties of sweet corn do not thrive as well in Cali¬ 
fornia as in the east, and it has sometimes been said that 
good sweet corn is not to be had here. This variety, how¬ 
ever, seems particularly adapted to our local conditions, 
and produces ears of the very finest quality. Pkt., 10c; 
lb., 35c. Postpaid.

TAM. An extra 
early dwarf va¬

thorough cultiva¬

tember, and enjoy 
roasting ears near¬ 
ly the whole year.
