NEW KALAMAZOO- See novelties; per oz. 40c... 10.
NEW GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING- This new variety has fully realized all claimed for it, and is pronounced by all a great acquisition.

The heart is of a beautiful golden yellow, very large, crisp and solid. Unlike other self-blanching varieties it is an extra good keeper - keeping well all winter - and of fine, sweet flavor; per oz. 40c;... 10.

Early Des Moines- Since introducing the Early Des Moines to the public we have received many flattering testimonials of its great value as an early variety. It is as early as any we have found, except the Cory, with ears much larger than most early sorts; supremely delicious flavor; very proliflc. It has been grown and improved by some of the best market gardeners in this vicinity for something over twenty years, and since its introduction to the public by us, the demand has increased very rapidly, especially among market gardeners.

Our crop this year, grown in the southern part of this State, matured only eight days later than the Cory, and the yield was more than double - being about sixty bushels.
