120 REPORT OF THE HORTICULTURIST OF THE 
4 feet tall, leafy, somewhat washed with purple, ears borne very 
low. 
Hawaii (Samuel Wilson). This variety germinated very poorly; 
the ears were fit for table August 30; 5 or 6 inches long, 10 or 
12-rowed, white, on a white cob, produced in great abundance, 
often 3 or 4 to the stalk, rather sweet; stalks 4 feet tall, a little 
washed with purple, ears borne 12 to 18 inches high. 
New Champion (Price & Reed). Fit for table August 13; ears 
5 to 6 inches long, thick, 12-rowed, white, on a white cob, lacking 
in sweetness, but produced abundantly; stalks 3 to 4 feet high, 
strongly washed with purple, ears borne low. 
New Perfection (Price & Reed). Fit for table August 8; 
ears 8 inches long, 10 or 12-rowed, white, with white cob, moder- 
ately sweet, produced in great abundance; stalks 3 to 4 feet - 
tall, somewhat tinged with purple, ears borne about a foot high. 
Northern Pedigree (J. C. Vaughan and Hugo Beyer). Fit for 
table August 9; ears 4 to 5 inches long, 8-rowed, white, with 
white cob, lacking in sweetness, borne abundantly; stalks 2 to 
23 feet tall. 
The small ears and lack of sweetness of this variety render it 
practically worthless here, especially as it proved no earlier than 
others of better size and quality. 
Ruby Sugar (W. W. Rawson). Fit for table August 30; ears 
about 6 inches long, very thick, bearing 14 or 16 rows, white at 
table size, remarkably sweet and borne abundantly ; cob variable, 
sometimes white, at others red and at others purple; stalk 6 feet 
tall, blackish purple, ribs of the leaves purple, husks usually 
purple, but occasionally green ; ears borne 2 to 23 feet high. 
This variety is of excellent quality, but the colored cob is 
objectionable. The juice of the purple cobs when the latter are 
boiled produces an almost indelible stain upon table linen. 
Corn — Pop. 
The varieties described below were planted May 26, in rows 34 
feet apart, on excellent soil in the garden. Their popping qualities 
have not yet been tested. 
California or Golden (Samuel Wilson). Remarkably productive, 
bearing 3 or 4 ears to the stalk, and all in the upper half;
