stiff and sturdy with a good root system. The ears 
are slender and small cobbed, 8-11 inches long, with 
12-18 rows of deep, narrow kernels. Its chief fea¬ 
tures are ear-worm resistance, earliness as compared 
with Snowflake or Trucker’s Favorite, and its true 
sweetness. Lb., 30c; 12>4 lbs., $3.25 ; 50 lbs., $12.00. 
TRUCKER'S FAVORITE A hardy southern corn, not strictly 
sweet, but resistant to ear-worm. Ears 7-9 inches, 12-16

as a finer corn for the South. Lb., 20c; 12i4 lbs., $1.75; 
50 lbs., $6.00.

Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen, resulting in a large

the very large, late white corns, maturing in about

variety will satisfy where the market prefers a very 
large ear. Lb., 25c; 12^4 lbs., $2.50; 50 lbs., $9.00.

crop variety, bearing thick ears which average well 
over 8 inches in length, often reaching 9]/ 2 inches. The 
sugar content is very high, as it is one of the sweet¬ 
est varieties known. The ears have 12 rows of deep 
kernels. Matures in about 90 days. Lb., 25c; 12}4
