120 ZIG-ZAG EVERGREEN. A development of 
the Stowell’s Evergreen which has become very 
popular. The rows instead of being straight are 
irregular; the grains set very close on the cob.

123 BLACK MEXICAN. For home use we con- 
sider this one of the best second early sorts where 
tenderness and sweetness are the qualities most 
desired. The stalks grow about 6% feet high, pro- 
ducing ears usually 8 inches long and 8-rowed. 
The dry grain is dark bluish black. The ripe Corn 
on the cob is also bluish black, but if used young, 
this Corn cooks remarkably white. This is an 
interesting variety.
