WHITE) COWY. (W4 
Some have objected to the Cory because the kernels of some of 
the ears have a reddish cast. J£ re is a new strain, which 
is not open to this objection, for by planting 
only white cobbed ears of the Cory, after 
several years of care, a distinct variety 
has been produced, which is nearly en¬ 
tirely free from the objectionable red cob 
and kernels. It is equally as early as the origi¬ 
nal Cory, and averages sweeter. These two 
strains of the Cory we have carefully compared 
with all the various kinds of extra early corn 
sent out by my fellow-seedsmen, and we have 
not, thus far, found any variety of equal size 
earlier. Per bushel, per express, $3.25; per 
peck, per express, 95 cents; per quart, per 
express, 25 cents; per quart, postpaid, 37 
cents; per package, 10 cents. 
C. F. Lusering, St. Mary’s, Texas, writes: “I have 
been buying your seed tor at least 20 years, and find 
them all that I could desire.” 
STABLER’S EARLY. {New.) 
One of the earliest of the second early class, 
following close after the Cory. It is twelve 
rowed, the ears large for so early a sort, and 
very sweet, in this respect surpassing all the 
earliest sorts. A good cropper, and profitable 
both for family use and as a market sort. Per 
peck, per express, 90 cts.; per qtS express, 20 
cts.; per qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
White Cory 
Corn. 
QUIRCT KillBf, ^e W .) 
A great favorite in Boston market, coming in just after the 
Cory, and just before the Crosby. The ears resemble the 
Crosby, being twelve rowed, but are larger. It is very pro¬ 
lific, many of the stalks bearing two ears. A true sugar corn, 
sweet and of excellent quality. Per quart, postpaid, 37 cents; 
per package, 10 cents. 
FIRST CROP SUGAR. 
This came along just after the Cory, with ears rather larger, 
and the kernels closer set, while in sweetness it surpasses it. 
An excellent cropper. Per quart, postpaid, 37 cents; per 
package, 10 cents. 
EXTRA EARLY HURON DENT, (**.j 
,Mr. C. S. Clark, a very extensive corn grower, makes a 
standing offer of $150.00 to any one who will produce a Dent 
corn as early, as pure, as 
smooth and free from 
roughness, with so little 
space between the rows, 
and so w r ell grained over 
both ends, as this new T va- 
liety. The Early Huron 
proves to be as early as 
the earliest Dent corn in 
cultivation, is as early as 
the Flint varieties , with a 
most perfectly shaped 
ear, smooth and free from 
roughness, with remark¬ 
ably little waste of space 
between the rows, and 
well grained over both 
ends. Certainly the Early 
Huron is well worth a 
trial by all of us who 
have heretofore!, by rea¬ 
son of the lateness of the Dent, confined ourselves to the Flint 
varieties. Per bushel, per express, $2.25; per peck, 75 cents; 
per quart, postpaid, 10 cents; per package, 10 cents. 
The two largest onion crops ever raised in Massa¬ 
chusetts— that of Hon. A. T. Newhall at Lynn, in 1886, 
1,123| bushels of Early Red Globe per acre, and that of Mr. 
Ettori Tassinari, at the Danvers Insane Asylum, in 1893, 
l£ acres, at the rate of 1,082 bushels of Extra Round 
Yellow Globe Danvers per acre — were both grown from 
our seeds. NfM. 
COUNTRY GENTLEfllAN SUGAR. {New.) 
Who that has raised that sweetest of all varieties of sugar 
corn, which we were the first to catalogue over a dozen years 
ago, under the name of “Quaker 
Sweet,” but has since been re¬ 
named. u He Plus Ultra,” has not 
regretted that the ear was so small 
as to make it difficult to market it? 
In this new variety, the “Country 
Gentleman,” we have ears of good 
market size, which retain all the 
delicious quality of the “He Plus 
Ultra.” Like that, it is remark¬ 
ably prolific, averaging two or 
more ears to each stalk. Cobs 
small and kernels long. Our cus¬ 
tomers will find this to he a decided 
acquisition either for home use or for 
marketing. Per peck, per express, 
$1.25; per quart, express, 30 cts.; 
per quart, postpaid, 42 cts.; per 
package, 10 cents. 
Bonanza Sweet. {New.) 
An early variety with ears as large 
as* evergreen. About as early as 
Minnesota or Crosby, but the ears 
are decidedly larger, rich flavored 
and sweet. The market gardener 
who originated it, for years held a 
monopoly of the market, carrying 
in a large sw T eet corn, weeks ahead 
of his competitors. We find the 
Bonanza is exceedingly prolific, 
yielding oftentimes two ears to a 
stalk. Per qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; 
per pkg., 10 cts. 
NONESUCH SWEET. {New.) 
This new variety will be sure to 
please, because of the good size of 
the ears, its strong growing quali¬ 
ties, and heavy yield. It is 12 to 
14 rowed, coming in just after 
Moore’s Concord, with larger ears. __ 
are of a rich pink color, while the grain is white tinted with 
pink at the cob end. Per peck, express, 90 cts.; per qt., 
express, 20 cts.; per qt., postpaid, 32 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts.

C. L. Horton, Winterton, N. Y., writes: “The Earliest of All Tomato 
ripened two weeks earlier than any of the rest I raised, and has not shown 
the nrst spot of rot, while the others at least halt rotted. I have bought 
seed of you for over 20 years.”

Giant Melon eaily ior a large one, not much later than the Christiana; 
weight, lw to 15 pounds; yellow fleshed and of excellent quality.” 
The Cleveland Seed Co. writes : “ We have watched the Nott’s Excel¬ 
sior very carefully, and find that it is an excellent pea, and a great im¬ 
provement over the American Wonder.” & 
A A Williams Dudley, Mass., writes: “I hereby hand you my 
twenty-first annual order ior seeds, and without exception they have 
proved true and fresh.” ^ J
