about four feet high, and ears set low down ; ears 
of medium size. Plct., 5 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 
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 of 
large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and 
sugary, and remain for a long time in an edible 
condition. This variety, with one or two of the 
early varieties for a succession, is necessary to 
every garden. My stock is very fine and specially 
recommended to truckers and canners. Per pkt., 
5 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 
Black Mexican —This is acknowledged by all 
the sweetest Sugar Corn that grows ; not as early 
as some, but exceedingly sweet, sugary and deli¬ 
cious. For epicures and private gardens it has 
never yet been equalled. By mail—pkt., 5 cts.; 
pt., 20 cts.; qt., 40 cts. 
THE CORY CORN. 
The earliest of all sweet corn. 
Repeated and impartial tests, 
not only of varieties already 
known, but also of new early 
varieties, claiming to be as 
early or earlier than the Cory, 
have proved to me that the Cory 
is undoubtedly the earliest of all 
and the very best extra early 
sweet corn. It originated on 
Rhode Island, with Jos. Cor- 
who for some years had a mo 
nopoly of the earliest sweet corn 
sent to the markets of Provi¬ 
dence, Newport, Fall River and 
New Bedford. Gradually a few 
of his neighbors obtained some 
of the seed, and from this it was 
introduced to the public. Every 
gardener will appreciate the 
great value of The Cory Corn 
when we state that the ears are 
larger than either the Marble¬ 
head or Minnesota, and that 
they are ready to market from 
five to ten days before the Mar¬ 
blehead Extra Early, which pre¬ 
viously was the earliest sweet 
corn grown. Prices of the Cory 
Corn, pure, carefully grown and 
selected for seed: Large pkt. 10 
cts.; pint 20 cts.; quart 40 cts., postpaid. By ex¬ 
press or freight, per qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts. 40 cts.; 4

CUCUMBERS.

market gardeners and pickling establishments.

quality. Per pkt, 6 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 80 
cts.; per lb.. 00 cts.

Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; lb., 70 cts. 
Perfection Early White Spine— The first 
and most important feature in growing cucumbers 
for market is to 
obtain the choic- 
est seed stock 
for planting. Most 
•T of the crops grown 
are very much 
mixed, and of in¬ 
ferior quality. 
Perfection is re¬ 
garded by grow¬ 
ers as the finest 
and purest stock 
grown. It is not 
only the very 
earliest, but it 
produces Cucum¬ 
bers of the finest 
form and most 
salable size for 
shipping purposes. 
It was introduced 
two years sinoe, 
and is already be¬ 
ing grown by the 
most extensive 
Cucumber culti¬ 
vators in this 
country. Price

Nichols’ Medium Green Cucumber— 
This new variety is pronounced unequalled as a 
pickle sort, while it has 
also been greatly praised 
as an early market vari¬ 
ety; for slicing for table 
use it is very much liked 
by all who have tested 
it. It originated with 
Mr. Nichols, an exten¬ 
sive grower for market. 
The name “ Medium 
Green” is descriptive of 
the size, it being longer 
than the White Spine, 
but not so long as the 
Long Green. The cu¬ 
cumbers are very thick 
through, considerably 
thicker than the White 
Spine, and are full at 
both ends. The skin is 
light green in color and 
very smooth. The cu¬ 
cumbers are handsome 
in appearance, and of 
fine quality for table 
use. The vines are vig¬ 
orous in growth and 
very productive. The 
cucumbers are general¬ 
ly uniform, both in size 
and shape. Pkt.. 5 cts.; 
NICHOLS’ MEDIUM GREEN OZ., 10 cts. ; lb.; 30 
cucumber. cts.; per lb., $1. 
Early Green Prolific, or Boston 'tick¬ 
ling —Under the former name best known, this 
Cucumber is, by Massachusetts gardeners, called 
Boston Pickling. It is sufficient praise to sav that 
it is equal to the Arlington or Peerless White Spine, 
for pickling, and that it is immensely productive. 
Per plct., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.; per lb. f 
85 cts.
