SWEET CORN—Continued 
BLACK MEXICAN. This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks a bluish 
black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and is a most desirable second 
early sort. Ears about 8 inches long, usually 8-rowed. 1 lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
GOLDEN EVERGREEN SWEET CORN. New variety, extra fine, very sweet and 
tender, and keeps in eating condition longer than most sweet corns. Ten days 
to two weeks earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen. A cross with Stowell’s Evergreen 
and Sweet Orange, which is a second early, yellow, very tender and extra sweet 
variety. 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
EARLY EVERGREEN. We have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that 
were claimed to be earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but 
we have never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we 
offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come 
into fit condition for use much earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to remain 
in condition quite as long. Ears about 7 inches long, with 14 to 20 more or 
less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality. 
Plants average from 6% to 7 ft. high and in ear resemble those of Stowell’s 
Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard 
main crop variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning. 
1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. There is no sweet corn that compares with the Country 
Gentleman for sweetness. It is the variety par excellence where quality is 
desired. Market gardeners who make a specialty of growing for hotels and 
high class restaurant trade use this as a main crop in preference to any other. 
For home use it will be found superior and it is very productive. The fact that 
it is a favorite variety with canners proves its merit. 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 
10 lbs., $3.00.

CUCUMBERS—for Salads and Pickles 
Cetriolo (It.) Cucumbers came from the East Indies. Gnrken (Ger.) 
Culture. Flourish best in a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow when danger of frost is 
over in hills 4 or 5 feet each way. As the young plant has many enemies sow thick¬ 
ly half an inch deep, and thin out finally to 3 or 4 plants to the hill. Use 1 ounce 
of seed to 75 hills, 2 to 3 pounds to the acre. Gather cucumbers by cutting, not 
tearing. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop. 
EARLY CLUSTER. An early and very productive variety. Fruit small, thick at 
the end, dark green, but lighter at blossom end, borne in pairs or clusters and
