BADEN CORN.

Messrs. Osborn s. Willets-From small
quantity o: Baden Corn sent me last season
by the Hon. Ii. j.. Ellsworth, from Wash
ington, which was planted in nv garden
and cultivated with much care, was ena
bled to obtain seed sufficient 10 plant nearly
ten acres this season. This corn was plan
ted about the 18th OF May, but until within
fifteen days, its appearance was decidedly
more backward than any near my residence
within few days lis growth has been ex-
ceedingly rapid; many OF the stalks are bent
down by the want OF strength 10 support the
weight OF the leaf at the top
This corn is much taller than the kind u
sually planted here; and the stalk remarka-
bly, stout, perhaps nearly double the thick
ness OF The other; the leaf longer and broader,
and OF course more valuable for fiddler
But ii is to the extraordinary iruiifulness
oil The Baden corn, and Of which we now
have ample promise, that | wish Ia call your
attention. Ii promises all that Mr. Baden
ever gave the public reason TO expect Of it,
On many of the stalks I already notice shoots
Tor seven ears; in some instances eight and
even nine; but whether they will produce
perfect ears, is howeve yet to be proved.
ln looking over field OF two acres, which
from its elevation is mole forward than the
rest, | notice that all the stalks Indicate This
rare fertility TO a greater or a less extent /;
and good judges are of opinion, that none of
the stalks in this field promise less than three
ears.
Should this corn in the fall of the wear.
