X UiU a d.1 ly• after planting. Scores of our cus¬ 
tomers who know this variety say that it surpasses 
all other early white Sweet Corns in quality. The 
ears are from 8 to 10 inches long, and contain 8 
rows of pure white kernels, which are large and 
extra deep for an early Corn. The stalks grow 5 to 
6 feet high, can be planted more thickly than most 
varieties, and frequently produce two ears to the 
stalk. If the seed is planted at intervals of about 
two weeks through the season. Ford’s Early will 
furnish a succession of Sweet Corn until frost kills 
the plants. See illustration at the right. Pkt. 10c,

The grandest of all second-early Sweet 
Corns. Nectar was originated by Mr. 
Hamilton DeGraw, of New York, in 1906; it is a cross 
between Malakhoff and White Evergreen. It is un¬ 
usually productive. It is very hardy and will stand 
more wet and cold weather without rotting in the 
ground than many early varieties. The stalks grow 
from 6 to 7 feet high, and many of them produce two 
large ears. There are usually 12 or 14 rows of very 
deep, pure white kernels, resembling Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green. For market gardening this is the second best 
early variety to follow Ford’s Early. The ears will 
remain in good condition for some time after they are 
ready for the table. Pkt. lOc, % lb. 20c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs.
