Early Mammoth. The earliest, sweetest, and largest of the mammoth 
sweet varieties. Probably no other Sweet Corn will yield as much fodder 
and for this reason it is extensively planted, to be fed green or dry. 
Potter’s Excelsior (Squantum). a well-known sort, extensively 
grown for market and canning purposes; also used throughout New England in 
their famous clambakes. It is remarkably sweet, and wonderfully productive. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. 
will be, a better late Sweet Corn than Stowell's Evergreen. For a late main 
crop, for family use, the general market, or for canning, it is unexcelled. 
We have made a specialty of this variety for years, and our sales of thousands 
of bushels to the canning trade attest the fact that our strain is the best. 
Black Mexican. The ripe grain of this novel variety is black or bluish 
black, but when in condition for the table looks remarkably white. This is 
considered the sweetest and most tender of any variety of Sweet Corn. 
Country Gentleman. 
family use. The ears are good-sized and produced in great abundance, many 
stalks bearing four plump ears. Its long, small, milky kernels arc full of 
sweetness : and as the cob is small, and the corn white and tender it is 
sure to please. It is somewhat later than Stowell’s Evergreen. 
Mammoth Late Sugar. Green ears of this variety have been exhib¬ 
ited weighing from two to three pounds. The sweetest and largest of all the 
mammoth sweet sorts. Valuable on account of its yield of stalks for fodder.

fl An acap. Va 11 ov A new » yellow, eight-rowed Flint 
variety, originating through the 
crossing of the popular Longfellow with a choice local stock. The cob is 
white, twelve to fifteen inches in length, and very slender. The grain is a 
golden yellow, large, and compactly set, covering both butt and tip. It is an 
exceedingly early, hardy, and productive variety, yielding on good land from 
eighty to 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre. It is easy to husk, and the 
stalks make good fodder. Quart, 25 cents ; peck, 60 cents ; bush., $2.00. 
Early Sanford. An early white flint variety; equally valuable for ensilage 
or grinding. Quart, 25 cents ; peck, 60 cents ; bushel, $2.00. I 
Sweet Fodder. There is nothing better for green feed, or for curing for 
winter, than Sweet Corn. Cattle highly relish it, and when fed on it keep in 
fine condition and give an abundance of rich milk. It has the great merit of 
being so sweet and palatable that cattle cat every bit of the stalk and leaves. 
It is also excellent for soiling. Sow in drills, one and one-half bushels per 
acre ; or broadcast double the quantity. State if wanted for summer or winter 
feeding when ordering. Peck, 50 cents ; bushel, $1.50.

CRESS—Pepperg'rass 
Cress should be sown in a hotbed or in a sheltered spot in the garden, quite 
thick, in shallow drills, an^l in a short time it will be fit for cutting. It gives a 
pungent relish to Lettuce, and other salad plants. A fresh lot should be sown 
every week, as it matures very rapidly and is useful only when young. 
Packet, 5 cents; oz., 10 cents; lb., 50 cents; except 
where noted.

lb., $3.00. 
DANDELION 
I lie Dandelion has become very popular as an early, healthful spring salad. 
Sow as early in spring as the weather will permit, in well-enriched soil, in rows 
eighteen inches apart, covering the seed one-fourth of an inch deep. Thin the 
plants to twelve inches apart. Keep clear of weeds, and the following spring 
the leaves will be fit to cut. One ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill. 
Arlington. A favorite with the Boston marketmen. Leaves very finely 
cut and curled. Packet, 10 cents ; oz., 50 cents. 
Improved Thick-Leaved. Leaves thicker than Arlington and not so 
finely curled. Packet, 10 cents; oz., 50 cents. 
Common. Packet, 5 cents ; oz., 25 cents. 
Pride of the North. A sixteen-rowed Yellow Dent variety. Ears 
eight to ten inches in length ; cob very small and red, with grain above 
medium size and closely set. It produces an enormous quantity of shelled 
corn to the amount of cob. Stalks six to eight feet, and frequently bearing 
two ears. An exceedingly early and prolific variety. 
Improved Learning. Similar to above in every respect, but about two 
weeks later in maturing. A very desirable variety. 
Champion White Pearl. A new, early, thoroughbred White Dent 
Corn. Ears average sixteen rows, with very small cob ; ripens in 90 to 100 
days from time of planting. Very productive, yielding fully as well as the 
Yellow Dent sorts. 
Early Mastodon. An improved variety of Yellow Dent, combining large 
yield, large grains, and early ripening. It has the largest number of rows on 
a cob, and the largest grains of any Corn ever originated. It is high bred 
and of a beautiful color, being such corn as brings the highest price in the 
market. It is of medium height, grows rapidly, and ripens in 100 days. 
From 170 to 200 bushels per acre have been produced as far north as lati¬ 
tude 42 0 30'. Considering its size and the number of rows on a cob, it is the 
earliest Dent Corn grown. 
Golden Beauty. A grand new Dent variety of vigorous growth and 
immensely productive on rich soil. The ears are of perfect form, remarkable 
in size, filled to the tip with ten to fourteen rows of remarkably large bright 
golden grains. Cob very small for so large an ear. Ripens in from no to 
120 days. Stalks ten to twelve feet in height, with abundant foliage. 
Improved Early Sheeptooth. (Fodder Corn). Nearly two weeks 
earlier and better adapted for fodder and ensilage in the Northern States than 
the ordinary Southern Sheeptooth. The stalks arc twelve to fourteen feet in 
height, and enormously productive. This improved sort is generally super¬ 
seding all known varieties for ensilage purposes. Peck, 40 cents ; bushel, 
$1.25; bag of 2bushels, $3.00, with no charge for bag.
