Johnson’s Northmount Plant 
An Earlier Improved Black Beauty 
This fine new vni ietv is the result of seloction_()f tlie very earliest and finest fruits of the celchrated 
“ Black Beauty.” It is, beyond {|uestion, the earliest and hardiest of all Large Smooth Purple Egg 
Plants. While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten day.s earlier 
and is suited to more northern climates. One of the faults of the old sorts was that'they matured so 
late that in northern latitudes the entire croi) could not he gathered before frost set in and destroyed 
them. With the introduction of .lohnson’s Nortiimount, this danger is juist, owing to its great carliness. 
The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded hushes. The fruits are thick, of 
mo.'t attractive shape (as shown in illustration), and in color a lustrous lairiilish black. This coloringis 
uniform over the whole fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older 
varieties. It is valuable alike to the private iilanter and the extensive grower for market. Prices, per 
pkt., 20c.; 4 jikts., 00c.; i oz., $1.00 ; oz., $1.75 ;4 ors., $0.00. 
"White Mexican Sugar Corn 
The old Black Dlexican Sugar Corn has 
long been famous for its delicious sweet flavor. 
In the White Mexican we oiler a variety which 
combines with a white grain all tlie good 
qualities of sweetness and flavor so prominent 
in the old dark type. 
White Mexican is also unlike Black Mexi¬ 
can in being one of the very earliest to mature. 
It is sure of a leading place, as it is quite un¬ 
usual to find an early corn that is at tlie same 
time so sweet that it will “ melt in the nioiilh.” 
The cars in size and shape are like those of 
the Black Mexican and ajit to have the same 
jieculiar naked tiji known in that variety. 
If you want early corn that is deli¬ 
ciously sweet, try White Mexican. Ibices,
