SWEET CORN THE LATE YELLOW KINDS 



BECAUSE the popular vote proves overwhelmingly 

 in favor of Golden Bantam flavor in sweet corn, 

 American hybridizers have been busy. During the last 

 ten years scores of attempts have been made to produce 

 new yellow sorts of distinct merit, a few of which are 

 recorded here: 



Golden Rod (see illustration) is the happy offspring of 

 Golden Bantam crossed with Stow ell's Evergreen. Within 

 ninety-three days from date of planting it will produce 

 eight- to ten-rowed ears, six to eight inches long, of a very 

 worth-while quality. 



Golden Cream affords the great combination of Golden 

 Bantam blended with Country Gentleman. It requires 

 ninety-five to one hundred days to bear its six-inch ears 

 of the zig-zag rowed or shoe-peg type, but it will be found 

 worth waiting for. 



Carpenter s Golden Sweet is the latest, but also the 

 largest, of the yellow kinds. Ears are twelve-rowed, 

 and average seven to nine inches long.
