Abolition
This is a capital variety for table use. Ears of good size, and remarkable for their exceptional sweetness and tenderness. Wherever this variety gets a foot-hold it comes to stay. It was made many years ago by crossing the Mexican with some standard white variety. Pkt., 15c.

Champion White Pearl
In my experimental grounds this season among many varieties of Dent Corn I noted one that eared as early as the Flint, nearly as low down as the Flint varieties, and came along so early as to nearly keep abreast with them at maturity. On gatherin them i found very handsome ears of a White Dent corn. By correspondence I learned it was called Champion White Pearl Corn. The originator stated he had been 12 years breeding it; that it will ripen in from 85 to 100 days; that the kernels were extra long and the cobs so small that those from 70 lbs. , of ears weighed but 7 lbs. He challenges any one to show a whiter corn, offering a reward of $25.00 to any “who will show and prove up its equal either white or yellow.” I will so far endorse this that I assure all my customers who raise Dent varieties they will find this a decided acquisition. Pkt., 10c; oz., 70c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $3.50 by mail; lb., $1.00 by express

Longfellow's Field Corn
This fine field corn is the result of careful selection in a family of Massachusetts farmers for forty-five years. The ears are remarkably long, some of them fifteen inches, and oftentimes two or more good specimens grow on one stock. The cob is quite small. It is the largest kerneled variety of yellow field corn that I have ever found it safe to plant in the latitude of Massachusetts, where it is extensively grown. Over two hundred bushels of ears have been raised to the acre in Massachusetts. Pkt., 10c; qt., by mail, 50c; lb., be exp, 30c; peck, 75c; bus., $2.25.

Marblehead Early Sweet Corn
When I introduced the Marblehead Early Corn it was the earliest of all the varieties of market size known among seedsmen; but this season I introduce the Cory Sweet Corn, as an earlier variety. Nevertheless until the Cory becomes more common the Marblehead will still remain the standard early sweet corn for general cultivation. In all characteristics except earliness the Marblehead bears a close resemblance to the Narragansett. The stalk is dwarf in its habit of growth, and its ears very low down. It is of good market size and very sweet. There are many positive opinions from editors and gardeners on the Marblehead Early Sweet Corn. Pkt., 10c; qt., postpaid, 50c; bus., $4.00

The Cory Corn
Having been told by a friend who marketed largely in Fall River and Providence, that the market men in his vicinity had found an earlier sweet corn of market size than the Early Marblehead, I took a journey to his vicinity to call around among his neighbors, and learn directly from their lips what they had to say about it. I saw several of them and from others who were not at home when I called I received statements after I returned. As they are men of high standing, two of them members of the Legislature, and none of them knew of the direct object of my inquiry, I consider what they stated as testimony of the first class. It appears that a Mr. Cory for years had a monopoly of the early market in early sweet corn; that in the course of time he gave a little to two or three of his friends and it became known as the Cory Corn. Mr. Chas .J. Talman said that he knew that Mr. Cory and the few friends he let have his corn always carried the first sweet corn into the markets of Newport, Fall River, and Providence. Mr. Charles N. Dyer said that he had raised the Early Marblehead side by side with the Cory and found that the Cory was a few days earlier; it made a larger, and more presentable ear for marketing, the husk covering the tip of the ear better than was the case with the Marblehead. Mr. Lorenzo Talman told me that aiming to get the very earliest sweet corn, he raised 4 rows of Marblehead Early side by side with the Cory, and found the latter the earlier by three or four days; “but,” said he, “these four days made the difference with me between 35 or 50 and 20 cents per dozen.” Hon. William L. Lisson stated that the Cory corn was the earliest kind he has ever known, while the ears were the largest of any early sort. Mr. M. B. Sylvia said, “The ears of my Cory Corn are larger than Marblehead Early or Minnesota and earlier than either of them.” Hon. John F. Chace said, “I planted some Early Marblehead, and after it came up a friend gave me a little of the Cory Corn; I planted this beside the Marblehead and picked green corn from it before I could from the Marblehead. The Cory has the largest ear.” Mr. Anthony said, “ I find it a decided improvement on the Marblehead, in earliness, size of kernels and general presentableness of the ear.” From these statements of the little cluster of marketmen who have actually raised it, it appears evident that any of my customers by planting the Cory Corn can have a complete monopoly of the market for early corn in his vicinity with all the pecuniary advantages that that would give him. In general appearance it closely resembles the Marblehead and I have no doubt this seed originally came from the same parent stock. Having purchased the entire stock of this new corn. I offer it to my customers at the following rates, viz.: pkt., 15c; ½ pt., 35c; pt., 60c; qt., $1.00, postpaid.
