SCHLEGEL & FOTTLER'S SEED CATALOGUE. --i^i^^x^^.^ 111 EARLY CROSBY CORN. For eight consecutive seasons we have made contracts for the entire stock of this variety of Sweet Corn grown on the estate of the originator, Josiah Crosby, Esq., of Arlington, Mass. This variety is unquestionably the very best of all the early sorts of Sweet Corn, and in several respects, and for many purposes, it is, all points considered, the very best to grow for a main crop.

Leading seedsmen all over the country annually send to us f
