NEW EARLY EVERGREEN 
A selection from Stowell’s Evergreen, possessing all its 
good qualities, but coining in ten days ahead of that famous 
variety. See illustration and description under Novelties, 
page5. Pint, 25c ; qt.,45e., postpaid; peck, $1.35; bush., $5.00. 
KENDEL’S EARLY GIANT SWEET CORN 
Our attention was first called to this new white cob 
sweet corn in the spring of 1800, and, after critical tests on 
our trial grounds and among our customers, we find it pos¬ 
sesses great merit. It is very early, being fit for use in sixty 
days from planting. The ears are large, 8 to 10 inches in 
length, the majority having twelve rows to a cob. Kernels 
pure white, very sweet and tender. It is also a most pro¬ 
ductive variety, and will prove a valuable acquisition to 
every borne or market gardener who plants it. Pkt., 10c.; 
pint, 25c.: qt., 40c., postpaid; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; bush.,

BURLINGTON HYBRID CORN 
This variety has been grown for several years with 
great profit by the truckers of Burlington County, N. J. It 
has been adopted by a large number of our own pat- 
_ rons, on our recoin- 
I niendation, many 
of whom have writ¬ 
ten us that it gives 
I them entire control 
| of the early mar¬ 
kets. It is a cross 
between Adams’ 
Extra Early and a 
large-cared produc¬ 
tive variety of 
sugar corn. Its 
great market value 
can be readily seen 
from the fact that i t 
Is nearly as early 
as the A d a m s, 
with an ear us 
large as Stow- 
ell’s Evergreen, 
and more produc¬ 
tive than either, it 
having frequently 
produced over one 
hundred bushels to 
the aero grown as a 
field crop. Al¬ 
though not legiti- 
niatoly a sugar 
corn, yet (he husks, 
blades and car in a 
green state exactly 
resemble the sugar 
varieties, as shown 
in our photograph 
alongside, and it 
“ ‘ readily In mnr- 
— as a sweet or 
sugar corn. It is, 
however, of much 
better eating qual¬ 
ity than the Adams. 
When dry the grain 
is smooth and of a 
creamy white color. 
The stalks grow to 
‘icight of about 
—i feet and very 
compact, admitting 
of eloso planting; 
the cars begin to set 
low down, and are 
borne three to four 
to u stalk. Pkt.,

MAMMOTH WHITE CORY SWEET CORN

Kcd Cory, producing large ears, from 7 to 8 inches long, a

size of the old Cory, white-cobbed and covered with very larg 
white grains of extra quality. No other sweet corn will flm
