Crosby's
Early
A most excellent variety, remarkably
early and of the best flavor. Ears of
medium size, twelve-rowed or more,
with short, nearly square grains which
are very tender and sweet. This is the sort
so largely grown in 3Iaine for canning, and
it is the use of this variety rather than any
peculiarity of soil, that has given Maine
sweet corn its reputation for quality.

IflUUI C O LQI ly ^jUIUjUI U its base large, fourteen to sixteen-rowed
ears, of short, very white, square grain, similar to that of Crosby's Early.
Of the same splendid quality as the latter and is an excellent sort to fol-
low it either for the garden or canning factory, as it matures just as that
variety is getting over ripe. Pkt. 10c; Pt.l5c; Qt.20c; IQts.SOc; Bu.$2.75

will keep the table supplied until October. It is liardy and productive, very
tender and sugary, remaining a long time in condition suitable for boiling.
Our stock has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to
a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best
known of all late sorts. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 50c: Bu. $2.50

Old folOnV ^^^11^^ about six feet high, usually bearing two large, sixteen to twenty-rowed ears. We are certain that a
irger number of marketable ears, and a greater weight of corn can be grown from an acre of this sort than
from any other kind. The grain is very deep and the sweetest and best of the late varieties. It is fit to use a little earlier
than Stowells Evergreen. A very valuable market sort and one of the best for camiers.
