' Ne Plus Ultra or Shoe-Peg Corn. NE PLUS ULTRA SWEET CORN. About ten years ago prominent attention was called to this very distinct corn as the sweetest-flavored of all known varieties ; since then it has been advertised under the names of "Little Gem," "Shoe-peg" and "Quaker Sweet.'' The ear illustrated above, reduced in size, shows the deep, shoe-peg kernels, which are placed irregularly but very compactly upon the cob. The ears are from five to seven inches in length ; this special strain has been im- proved in the depth of kernel (the cob being very small), as well as in purity and trueness of tvpe, by constant selec- tion for years past. It is very prolific, generally bearing three to five ears to the stalk, and matures a little before Stowell's Evergreen—being much sweeter and more sugary to the taste than than well-known standard of quality. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts. EARLY MINNESOTA. One of the earliest, of dwarf habit; ears small, productive and good. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., postpaid. MOORE'S EARLY CONCORD. Ears large and well filled ; early and unsurpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., postpaid. STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. This variety is inter- mediate in its season, and if planted at the same time with earlier kinds, will keep the table supplied until October. It is hardy and productive ; very tender and sugary, remain- ing a long time in a fresh condition, suitable for boiling. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., postpaid. POP CORN. QUEEN'S GOLDEN. The largest of all pop corns. The stalks grow five to six feet high, and bear two or three large ears each. It pops perfectly white, and a single kernel will expand to nearly an inch in diameter. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts.,
