SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
CORN— Table Varieties
1 quart to 200 hills: 1 peck per acre.
Sugar Corn should not be planted until May, or when the ground is warm.
For succession, plant about every two weeks until the last of July. All varie-
ties may be either sown one inch deep in rows three to four feet apart, the
seeds being placed about 8 inches apart in the rows, or they may be planted
in hills at distances of three or four feet apart each way, allowing not more
than 3 plants stand to a hill. The size of the variety and the richness of the
soil should determine the distance of planting. Cultivate frequently and
thoroughly but shallow until the tassels appear.

Improved Early Adams trtTLrl.f,n:nTt "hfrdj- ' eals
measure from 10 to 14 inches in length, with 12 or more rows to the ear.
Grains are narrow and deep, of excellent table quality.
Manns' No 56 '^^® test, largest, most saleable early market corn we

• have ever known. It can be planted extremely early
  

without danger of rotting, which makes it possible to produce marketable
ears at least five weeks ahead of Stowell's Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn,
an excellent shipper, and a money maker.
Early Superior
This new variety is of remarkable size considering
its earliness. The ears are 8 inches long and have
16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep grains. The quality is excellent and
the attractive appearance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a
very desirable sort for the Market Gardener.
Manns' No. 56 — Note the low position of
the ears, an evidence of extreme earliness.
MEDIUM EARLY
Howling Mob ^^'f^^f .^t of strong vigorous growth,
^ 5 feet in height; produces 2 large ears
of sweetest quality.
Sheffield ^^'® cross-bred early variety combines the
robust growth and extreme hardiness of the
Extra Early Adams with the finer sugary quality of the Cory.
Ears average 7 inches long, and are well filled with grains of
medium size, arranged in 10 or 12 regular rows.
Kendel's Earlu Giant Remarkably large ear for a
^ second early sort and very
popular. The ears are about 8 to 9 inches long, 12-rowed.
The grain is rather broad and shallow and the quality
very good.
