NEW GOLDEN BANTAM 
This is an early sweet corn with golden yellow grain, very tender and 
of excellent quality. The ears are eight-rowed, six to seven inches long 
and of medium size found most suitable for the table. The flavor is ex¬ 
ceptionally rich and delicious. The stalks are four to five feet high. Our 
stock of this splendid home garden and market variety has been very 
carefully selected and is decidedly superior to much that is offered. 
PEEP O’ DAY 
It is not only one of the earliest sweet corns, but is very sweet and 
immensely productive, stalks producing from 2 to 5 large ears and being 
dwarf, about 4 feet in height, admits of close planting. 
WHITE COB CORY 
For a strictly early, for the first market and home use, you can’t be 
far wrong with White Cob Cory. We offer northern grown extra early 
matured seed. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
The ears are not only of good size, but are pro¬ 
duced in great abundance, frequently bearing four 
good ears, while the average is three to a stalk. 
The cob is very small, giving great depth to the 
kernels which are of pearly white quality. It is 
without doubt the sweetest and most tender of all 
sweet corns, and at the same time with ears of 
good size. 
PORTLAND MARKET 
One of the early white varieties. Large, sweet; 
grains pure white, ears well filled—a good market 
variety. 
EARLY MINNESOTA 
This is among the earliest of the sugar varieties, 
and is much esteemed not only because it matures 
early, but for the excellent qualities as well. Ears 
rather small, long and pointed. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 
This variety is more largely planted than any 
other, being the general favorite with canners and 
market gardeners for late use. It is very productive, 
the ears are large size, grains deep, exceptionally 
tender and sugary, and remains for a long time in 
an edible condition. 
EARLY EVERGREEN 
This corn has all the good qualities of its parent, 
"Stowell’s Evergreen, but matures earlier. Stalks 
grow from 6 to 8 feet high. 
BLACK MEXICAN 
This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks 
remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or 
bluish black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness. 
For family use it is considered the most desirable of 
the medium late sorts.

PARSLEY 
CULTURE!—Parsley succeeds best in rich, mellow 
soil. As the seeds germinate very slowly, 3 to 4 
weeks elapse sometimes before it makes its appear¬ 
ance. It should be sown early in the spring, pre¬ 
viously soaking the seed for a few hours in tepid 
water. Sow thickly in rows a foot apart and half 
an inch deep. One ounce to 150 feet of drill.
