Emperor Celery Golden Sunshine Sugar Corn Dreer's Extra Early Sugar Corn "Independence" 327 The chief objections to most of the extra earlies have been that high quality has been lacking and the ear too smaU and too loosely covered. These drawbacks we have now overcome, and we now offer this delicious corn which will produce ears equal in qualit3' to the best of the later maturing sorts. On stalks averaging 3\ feet high, 2 and sometimes 3 large ears are produced. These ears are 6 to 7 inches long, with 10 or 12 rows of plump, milky grains of surprising sweetness. At our trials in New Jersey this corn was ready in 60 days from the date of planting and is a week or ten days earlier than White Cory, which has up to now been the best quality corn among the white extra earlies. The dwarf growth of the stalk makes it very desirable for growing in the garden of limited size. Pkt., 15 cts.; i lb., 30 cts.: lb., 55 cts.: 2 lbs., $; 5 lbs., $, prepaid. Golden Sunshine Sugar Corn 322 This valuable variety was developed and introduced by Dr. Yeager of the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and has instantly sprung into popular favor. Of a rich golden color the ears are about one inch longer than Bantam, and have 12 rows instead of 8, while quality is fully equal to the latter sort. Most important, however, is the exceptional earliness of Golden Sunshine, for it is actually from 7 to 10 days earlier than Bantam. Originators stock.

Klondike Cucumber 382 Of rich dark green color, fully developed specimens rival greenhouse grown fruits in beauty and symmetry. Average specimens are 6 to 7 inches long by 2J inches in diameter. Reaches this size within 55 to 60 days and the exceedingly vigorous vines continue bearing during a long season. Equally useful for pickles or slicing, Klondike may be termed a good "allround" cucumber for home and market garden alike. Pkt
