Plant for EXTRA EARLY Sweet Corn 
WHITE COB CORY. 
AN extremely early variety, usually fit to use in 
from fifty to sixty days from seed sowing. It is 
not only the earliest of all good sweet corns, but is one 
of the sweetest and best. It is a sport or selection from 
the famous Red Cob Cory, which for years held pop¬ 
ular favor as the best nrst early. White Cob Cory 
retains all of the good qualities of its parent, with the 
added merits of having a white cob and white kernels, 
free from the objectionable reddish tinge that some¬ 
times occurred in the red cob variety. The plants are 
dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be closely planted; 
usually two ears are borne on a stalk. It is not only 
the best first early sweet corn, but it is valuable to 
plant late in summer for autumn use. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 pk., $5.00 bush.

Plant for MIDSEASON Sweet Corn 
Plant for MEDIUM EARLY Sweet Corn 
EARLY CHAMPION. 
WHILE this is comparatively a new variety to the 
v v general public, yet it has really been grown 
for two or three years by a few people in many sec¬ 
tions of the country, and from them we hear nothing 
but praise about it. These encomiums, and our own 
opinions of its merits, formed from our thorough trials, 
convince us that Early Champion is destined to be¬ 
come the leader among medium early sweet corns. It 
is the earliest large variety grown, being but a few 
days later than small extra earlies. It is as early as 
Crosby, yet it is as large, and often larger, than 
Concord. Early Champion is a 12-rowed variety, 
with large handsome ears filled with plump, deep 
white kernels, that retain their milky tenderness for 
an unusually long period. Quality and flavor sur¬ 
passingly fine and sweet. Valuable for either home 
use or for market. Very productive. (See cut.)

THE “ HENDERSON.” 
THIS is an ideal com. It follows after the early varieties, and is 
ready for the table about ten days to two weeks before the latest 
sorts. The “Henderson” Corn produces uniformly large, thick ears, 
averaging twelve inches in length, being compactly filled from butt 
to tip with long milky-white kernels of luscious tenderness and 
deliciously rich flavor. The toothsome quality is retained for a 
much longer time than with most corns. The plants are luxuriant, 
healthy growers, are scarcely affected by drought, and are wonderfully 
prolific. For the home garden it is peerless, and is one of the most 
valuable sorts grown for canning and market. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush. 
Plant for LATE. Sweet Corn 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. 
]M OW recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for home use 
and market, and is the general favorite. The ears are of a large 
size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and have the advan¬ 
tage of remaining longer in the green state than any other. Our stock 
has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter 
grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best of all late 
sorts. (See cut.) Price, 10c. h pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush.
