Mr. B. P. Ware believes that the early varieties formerly raised were not sweet, but now we can have sweet corn from the earliest ripening to frost. The Marblehead is earlier than any other - even the Narragansett or Minnesota. The stalks are small and the ears are produced near the ground. Mr. Ware recommended to plant three or four varieties, which would become fit to use in succession, and in this way two plantings would be enough. Next after the Marblehead comes Crosby's Early, then Moore's Early, and for a late variety either the Marblehead Mammoth, the Burr's Improved, or Stowell's Evergreen.
