SPECIALTIES AND NOVELTIES. in Corn, Crosby's Early Sweet. For ten 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 varietv is unquestionably the very best-of all the earlv sorts of Sweet Corn, and in several respects, and for manv purposes, it is, all points considered, the very best to grow for a main crop. It is very dwarf (about four feet), with numerous large ears (twelve to sixteen rowed) set very low on the stalks, and, as it matures so earlv, second crops of manv sorts can be obtained from the land. T/ii's is the variety almost exclusively used by the large gro-vers of Sxveet Corn in Maine and else- -vkere. for canning purposes^ Its table qualities are unsurpassed.

No headquarter's stock of Crosby Corn is for sale except by us : any that is offered by others is either grown from seed obtained of us. or is removed from the original by more than nine years' growing. Leading seedsmen all over the country annually send to us for stock to grow from. Shelled, per packet, .10; per quart, .25; per Cucumber, New Japanese Climbing. The seed of this variety came originally from Japan, about three years ago, and has proven thoroughly
