Burpee's Early “Cosmopolitan” Corn
This grand early variety produces fine large ears only a few days later than Cory or Early Fordhook. In size of ear and fine quality it equals the best second-earlies, such as Crosby's. The stalks grow five to six feet high. The ears are of most handsome appearance, seven to nine inches long, with ten or more rows of large grains. The cob is pure white and the ear is well filled, the grains at the top making a round point to the ear. The dry seed is firm, of large size, and germinates unusually well from early plantings. The only thing is...we consider Howling Mob a better variety of similar type. Pkt., 10c; pt., 25c; postpaid. qt., 30c; 4 qt., $1.00; peck, $1.75
