Sweet Corn --- Continued

Crosby's Early. (See Cut No. 3.) For medium early use and
general crop is one of the most desirable sorts. Ears of medium size
and cooking qualities excellent. A good cropper and profitable for
familyuse and as a market sort. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 35c. By ex
press, 1/2 pt. 75c, qt. $1.25.

Country Gentleman. (No. 9) An improvement on the old
favorite Shoe Peg Sweet Corn. Our illustration of a single stalk
shows its great productiveness; 3 to 5 ears to a stalk. In this, coupled
with the lucious quality, the genral su
periority of this new variety will be
quickly seen. The cob is small, giving
great depth to kernals which are pearly
white, and we cannot say too often--
surpassing sweet and tender. Pkt.
5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 40c. By express, 1/2 pt.85 c, qt. $1.50.

Black Mexican. (No. 10.)
Although the ripe gran is black, or bluish black, the
corn when in condition for table cooks, remarkably and
is surpassed by none in tenderness. This, by any, is
considered the most desirable for family use of the
second early sorts. Withstands hot, dry weather.
Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 40c. By exp. 1/2 pt. 80c, qt. $1.50.

Pharoah's Dream. (No.11.) "And Pharaoh
slept and dreamed ***
and behold seven years
of corn came up, upon
one stalk, rank and
good." Genesis 41:5. Is
the most productive and
one of the finest varie
ties of sweet corn ever sent out. This new variety was
bred by one of the best seed corn specialists in the country
and does not come froman accidental sport, but was grad
ually worked up from a cropp made of two well known
varieties and selected for a number of years, until ithas
attained its high value. Owing to the fact that it so fre
quently produces seven ears to the stalk it has been aptly
named "Pharoah's Dream." The corn begins earing almost
from the bottom and produces quite long ear stalks from
each leaf joint. Ears are of large size, but not overgrown; just right for table use
and would be taken for Stowell's Evergreen in almost any market. Corn is pure
wite, tender and of rich, delicate flavor, remaining a long time in an edible condi
tion. Earns form in
succession and make
a constant supply all
through the season.
Is the greatest nov
elty ever sent out.
Produces better when
only one or two
grains are planted in
a hill. Pkt. 5c, 1/2
pt. 12c, qt. 40c,
postpaid. By frt.,
1/2 pk. 85c, pk. $1.50.

Improved Stowell's Evergreen. (No. 12.) For many years this corn
has been the mosts prominent main crop sort and more largely planted than any
other, being a general favorite with canners and market gardeners for late use.
We have been selecting this for a number of years to improve it for family use.
The ears are medium to large sizze and our illustration was made by combining
the picture of the lower part of an ear in fit condition for table sue with part of
an ear of dry seed corn. The grains are deep, exceptionally tender and remain
a long time in an edible condition. The dried dernels are shriveled so much that
they readily show its unusual sweetness. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 35c. By express, 1/2 pt. 70c, qt. $1.75.
