SWEET CORN-==Continued.

EXTRA EARLY ADAMS.-This is not a true sweet corn, but produces
ears well filled with tender white grains. It is very early and
on account of its hardiness and hard, round grain it can be planted
much earlier than sweet corn. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 10c, qt. 30c. By express,
1/2h pk. 50c, pk. 90c.

IOWA STANDARD LATE SWEET CORN.-Produces large
sized ears and usually has two or three ears to each stalk,
sometimes more. Ears are of
large size and very sweet.
Begins bearing in mid-season
and continues until severe frost. Pkt.
5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2
pk. 75c, pk. $1.25.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.-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. This, coupled with the luscious quality, the
general superiority of this new variety will be quickly
seen. The cob is small, giving great depth to kernels
which are pearly white, and we cannot say too often
-surpassingly sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c,
qt. 40c. By express, 1/2 pk. 85c, pk. $1.50.

IMPROVED STOWELL'S EVERGREEN.-For many
years Stowell's Evergreen Corn has been the most
prominent main crop variety and is 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 size and our illustration was made by combining
the picture of the lower
part of an ear in fit condition
for table use 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
kernels are shriveled so much that they readily show its
unusual sweetness. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 35c. By express,
1/2 pk. 75c, pk. $1.25.

WHITE MEXICAN.-Do you know the marvelous sweetness of the old Black
Mexican? You like lts [its] taste but dislike its color. Well, we have something finer
in every way, superior in sweetness, a pure ivory white color, large as the Minnesota and earlier. It matures in 55 days. Has pleased all purchasers. Pkt. 5c,
1/2 pt: 15c, qt. 50c, postpaid. By express, 1/ pk. 75c, pk. $1.25.

BLACK MEXICAN.-Although the ripe grain is black, or bluish black, the corn
when in condition for table cooks remarkably and is surpassed by none in tenderness.
This, by many, is considered the most desirable for family use of the second
early sorts. Withstands hot, dry weather. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 40c. By express,
1/2 pk. 75c; pk. $1.25.

MAMMOTH SUGAR.-This produces the largest ear of any sweet corn, a single
car sometimes weighing 2 or 3 lbs.; sweet and luscious. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt.
35c. By express, 1/2 pk. 70c, pk. $1.25.

EARLY SWEET FODDER.-Grows quickly. True sweet corn and will furnish
good fodder. Qt. 25c. By express, 1/2 pk. 35c, pk. 65c, bu. $2.00.

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER.-Particularly selected because it produces
great stalk and leaf growth, lots of ears, and is ready for use in July when pastures
are short. Is worth double the price asked for it. Qt. 25c. By express
1/2 pk. 35c, pk. 65c. bu. $2.00.

POP CORN.

It pays to raise pop
corn as a general crop.
Demand usually exceeds
the supply. Some farmers claim that it is
as easily grown as field corn and they receive
three or four times the amount per
acre for the crop. For main crop the Monarch
White Rice will bring the best price
per pound, as it is better known. Let the
children try a small patch, anyway, for
home use. Ask for prices in quantity.

PAGE'S NEW STRIPED RICE.-Best and
most attractive variety of pop corn. Color
white; each kernel is striped with bright crimson. Ears of good size; early and
very productive. Pkt. 5c. 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 50c.

QUEEN'S GOLDEN.-Color a peculiar lustrous golden
yellow? pops to a rich cream colors; very prolific.
Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12c, qt. 40c.

MAPLEDALE PROLIFIC.-The most productive pop
corn, averaging five to twelve good ears to stalk.
Pops to large size; tender. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 50c.

MONARCH WHITE RICE.-It is the best white variety. Bears from
three to six ears per stalk, and produces fifteen hundred to two thousand pounds
per acre. It will pay you to try it. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 12 C, qt. 40c. By express, 1/2 pk
60c, pk. $1.00.
