age 8 to 9 inches in length, with 12 or 14 rows 
of kernels of fine quality. 
COUNTRY GENTLEIVIAN. (Shoepeg). The kernels 
are not in rows, but might be described as 
“broadcast” over the cob. It is a very sweet, 
white variety, used in large quantities by can- 
ners, market and home gardeners alike. The 
quality is high. It is a very late variety, ma¬ 
turing just after Stowell’s Evergreen in about 
95 days.

week before Stowell’s Evergreen, though much 
resembling Stowell’s as to size of ear and 
quality. The ears are large, averaging 8K 
inches long, with fine, deep kernels of pure 
white color. 
HiCKOX. A popular variety among market gard¬ 
eners whose trade demands a large white corn. 
Stalks grow 7^ feet high, the ears about 9 
inches long, with 12 rows. The flavor is very 
fine, and the appearance attractive. Matures 
in about 90 days.

white corns, maturing in about 95 days from 
planting. The ears are large and thick, with 14 
to 16 rows of very sweet grains. This variety 
will satisfy where the market prefers a very 
large ear. 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. The ears are very large, 
being about 10 inches long and very thick 
through. The corn, however, is of very fine
