GOLDEN EVERGREEN A cross be¬ 
tween Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Ever- 
p:reen and a most excellent sort of fine 
quality. Ears 8 inches long, 12 to 14 rowed; 
grain rather broad and deep, or a rich gol¬ 
den-yellow color. 
HOWLING MOB —One of the finest sec¬ 
ond early, large eared sorts; very produc¬ 
tive, white, and of excellent quality. Ears 
9 to 10 inches long, 16-rowed. 
WHIPPLE’S EARLY WHITE— A very 
early variety with the deep grain of the 
Evergreen type. About five days earlier 
than Early Crosby. Stalks 5 to 6 feet high, 
of vigorous growth; ears produced l^^ feet 
from the ground, often two to the stalk, 
are 8 inches long, rather “blocky” in form, 
16 to 18 and often 20-rowed, filled to the 
end with rather narrow, deep, wedge- 
shaped grains of pearly whiteness and high 
sugar content. 
WHIPPLE’S EARLY YELLOW— A re¬ 
markable new yellow sweet corn of much 
merit. White the stalks grow 6 feet or 
more in height and the 14-rowed ears are 
7 to 8 inches in length, this variety ma¬ 
tures three days later than Golden Bantam. 
The kernels are broad, deep and of excel¬ 
lent quality. 
EXTRA EARLY ADAMS —While noi 
properly a sweet corn, it is used as such 
because of its very early and hardy nature. 
Market gardeners depend on this sort for 
their first “roasting ears.” It can be 
planted long before it is safe to plant other 
varieties. 
EARLY MINNESOTA —An old favorite. 
One of the best early varieties. 
EARLY CHAMPION —The earliest large 
sweet corn. Produces ears a foot long in 
iwo months. Yields two and three ears to 
the stalk. Very sweet and juicy. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN— The stand¬ 
ard main crop variety. Large well formed 
ears, deep grained, very sweet and sugary. 
It is hardy and productive and altogether 
the best kind for general use. 
BLACK MEXICAN —One of the sweetest 
and most delicious of the sugar corns. Of 
quick maturity. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —Very sweet and 
luscious. It is very hardy, which permits 
of early planting. The stalks average 
about 3 feet in height; the ears are 5 to 7 
inches in length; the grain is a rich, golden 
yellow. Unrivalled in quality. 
Cucumber, Improved Long Green 
CUCUMBERS 
(1 oz. will plant 50 hills; 2 lbs. per acre) 
CULTURE —Newly-broken prairie or rich 
sandy bottom is the soil best suited for cu¬ 
cumbers. The first planting out of doors 
may be made in a sunny situation at about 
the time cherry trees are in bloom. Plant 
in hills 4x4 feet, dropping five or six seed 
in a hill. For main crop sow the seed 
thickly in rows four to five feet apart at 
corn-planting time. For pickles plant in 
middle summer. 
BOSTON PICKLE OR GREEN PRO¬ 
LIFIC —A favorite pickling sort and very 
productive. A dark green, crisp and ten¬ 
der.
