VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SWEET CORN 
Sweet Corn should not be planted early in the season, for it will not make any progress until the 
weather is warm, and will be very likely to rot. Always select a warm soil for Sweet Corn if possible, 
especially for the early varieties, as the difference in soil and exposure will make at least a week’s 
difference in the time of maturity, besides insuring a crop. 
Quart, 35 cents ; pint, 20 cents ; ]/ 2 pint, 10 cents ; except as noted. 
Earliest of All. This is. in fact, the 
Vick’s earnest 01 All. 1 ms is, 
“earliest of all;” very excellent, tender and 
sweet. Similar in appearance to Cory, but 
superior in quality and a week to ten days 
earlier. Quart, 40 cents; pint, 25 cents; l / 2 
pint, 15 cents; packet, 10 cents. 
Mammoth White Cory. A decided improve¬ 
ment over the original Cory. Our selection of 
seed and careful growing make this the largest 
extra early in our list. Each stalk bears two or 
more large twelve-rowed ears ; remarkable in 
quality for so early a sort.

largest early Sweet Corn yet introduced. Ears 
8 to 10 inches long, 10 to 18 rows on each cob,

cross between Cory and Extra Early Adams.

best flavor. Ears twelve-rowed ; grains sweet 
and thick. Grown for canning.

pests is past, pull up all but three or four strong plants.
