This grand new variety produces fine large ears three to five days in advance of Early Metropolitan, and only a few days later than First of All or Early Fordhook. In size of ear and fine quality it equals the best second-earlies, such as Crosby, Champion, and Metropolitan. The stalks grow five to six feet in height. The ears are of most handsome appear- ance, fully nine inches long, with ten or more rows of large grains. The cob is pure white and the ear holds its thickness throughout the entire length and is well filled, the grains at the top making a round point to the ear. In this " ideal form " there is no watte, while the appearance is most attractive. The dry- seed, without being flinty in the least degree, is firm, of large size, and germinates unusually well from early plantings. In fact, the " Cosmopolitan " planted early gave us our first ears for the table at Fordhook,—the other extra early sorts not doing well on account of the very dry weather.
