In more southerly latitudes planting is begun a 
Early Marblehead, from ten days to two weeks earlier than any other 
known variety of sweet corn. It was tested last season with Early 
Narragansett, Early Minnesota, Early Crosby, Early Tom Thumb, 
Dolly Dutton, and others, and proved as above stated. It is very 
dwarf in growth, and the ears are produced quite close to the 
ground. It is without exception one of the greatest yielding corns 
cultivated, three to five ears often being produced from one kernel 
of seed.05

best. 
Early Narragansett, one of the earliest, red cob, eais small, of good 
quality...

Darling’s Early, one of the earliest of the tall growing varieties; ears 
long, well-formed and sweet.05

richness and delicacy of flavor.05

variety. Kernels of fair size, white and sweet ; stalks about three 
feet high; it is already a popular market variety, as it is said to be 
a week earlier than any other sort. . 
Stowell’s Evergreen, a late variety of excellent quality, remaining longer 
in the green state than any other.05 
Mammoth Sugar, a late variety, produces e^rs larger than any other sort, 
and fine flavored.05 
Black Mexican, a variety with black ears, said to be the sweetest of all 
kinds. . .. . 
Potter’s Excelsior, one of the sweetest and finest flavored varieties 
ever known, highly recommended.05 
Triumph, said to be the earliest of the large varieties ; flavor rich and 
sweet; largely grown as a market sort.05 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder Corn, for cutting green and feeding to stock 
this variety excels all other in tenderness, sweetness and nutriment, 
and as its name indicates, it will remain in a green and tender state 
without maturing longer than any other variety.
