HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



SWEET CORN LATE WHITE KINDS 



TN SECTIONS where frosts are apt to occur as late as 

 -* June ist and first visits are recorded as early as 

 middle of September, planting of late sorts must be 

 considered a risk. However, where one hundred days of 

 good growing weather can be counted on and where space 

 permits, home gardeners will do well to put in a few rows 

 of both White Evergreen and Country Gentleman. 



White Evergreen is by far the most thoroughbred strain 

 of Stozvell's Evergreen in cultivation to-day. (See ear 

 to left.) With ears of great size (ten to twelve rows 

 on cobs ten inches long) it combines a truly remarkable 

 quality if ears are picked at the right stage. The aver- 

 age time for ears to reach full size is one hundred days. 

 A week later Country Gentleman bears its zig-zag rowed 

 ears (see two above) which grow about ten inches long. 

 But they are considered the best flavored by those com- 

 petent to judge, in spite of the fact that Country 

 Gentleman is one of the oldest varieties in cultivation.
