Burpee's White Evergreen Corn
It has ears fully as large as those of the regular Stowell's and is about five days earlier, while the grains remain tender for a longer period. Its most valuable feature, however, is the extreme paper whiteness of the grains, which makes not only a more attractive ear when served on the table, but is most important for the canner. It retains its whiteness when put up in cans as distinct from the yellowish tinge of the still popular original Stowell's Evergreen. Makes strong vigorous stalks seven feet in height. The ears have white tassels and light-colored silk. The ears contain sixteen or more rows of deep grains, which are protected by a thick heavy husk. Two and even three fine ears are frequently produced on each stalk. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; postpaid. qt., 25c; 4 qt., 85c; peck, $1.50
