Peep o’ Day. The points of this remarkable 
new corn are its extraordinary earliness and 
sweetness. The early varieties of sweet corn 
do not yield as heavily as the later sorts, but 
owing to the fact that the stalks of this vari¬ 
ety bear from two to three ears each, and are 
very dwarf, they can be planted close together.
