SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CORN— Table Varieties 



1 qnart to 200 hills: 1 peck per acre. 

 Sugar Corn should not be planted until May, or when the ground is warm. 

 For succession, plant about every two weeks until the last of July. All varie- 

 ties may be either sown one inch deep in rows three to four feet apart, the 

 seeds being placed about 8 inches apart in the rows, or they may be planted 

 in hills at distances of three or four feet apart each way, allowing not more 

 than 3 plants stand to a hill. The size of the variety and the richness of the 

 soil should determine the distance of planting. Cultivate frequently and 

 thoroughly but shallow until the tassels appear.

Matins* No 56 "^^^ best, largest, most saleable early market corn we 

 * have ever known. It can be planted extremely early 



without danger of rotting, which makes it possible to produce marketable 

 ears at least five weeks ahead of Stowell's Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn, 

 an excellent shipper, and a money maker. 



Earlu ^UDerior "^^'^ "^^ variety is of remarkable size considering 

 " " its earliness. The ears are 8 inches long and have 



16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep grains. The quality is excellent and 

 the attractive appearance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a 

 very desirable sort for the Market Gardener. 



Manns' No. 56 — Note the low position of 

 the ears, an evidence of extreme earliness.

 ket gardeners for late use. Ears of large size, kernels very 

 deep, tender and sugary; very productive and remains for a 

 long time in fit condition for table use. 



GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES 

 OF CORN 



The increased cost is only about $2.00 more per acre, but the 

 yield is increased 25% or more. Practically all of the larger 

 canning companies are now planting Hybrid Corn because of 

 the certainty of a better yield and much better quality. It 

 is important, however, to plant only seed grown by an expert 

 hybridist as hybrid corn is not necessarily all desirable. The 

 process is expensive, highly technical and requires the skill 

 of a plant breeder. Buy Manns' hybridized corn; it has been 

 grown by experts. 



Please Note — It is useless to try to save seed from hybrid 

 varieties of corn. They must be newly developed each year. 



Golden Cross Bantam (Hybrid) ^ ^ ° J t" f u i 



8-inch ears having 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels. 

 It is resistant to wilt or Stewart's disease and is now the 

 standard strain grown for the largest canners. As the crop 

 matures at nearly the same time, it should be planted at 

 intervals of a week or ten days to assure a continuous 

 supply. 



Stowell's Evergreen Hybrid f° /eguiar^'^sTow- 



ell's Evergreen in yield, quality and appearance that it pays 

 a much larger profit than the ordinary strains. The seed 

 cost is about $3.00 per acre. Other costs, including culti- 

 vating, fertilizer, etc., are all the same for either type of 

 corn, but the resulting crop will pay much larger profits. 

 Plant Stowell's Hybrid, if only for a trial.
