SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Corn - Table Varieties 



1 quart to 200 hills; 3 quarts per acre. 



Sugar and Sweet 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 varieties 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. 



First Early Neck 



Adams' Early 

 Improved Early Adams 



Extra Early 



This variety can be planted earlier than any 



other sort; ear short, grain white. It is not 



a Sugar Corn, but, on account of its being largely sold for 



table use, we class it among the Sugar Corns. Ear, 5c; doz., 



50c; qt., 25c: pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 



Aftamc' Fvtra Farlu Similar to the First Early Neck, larger,

 Early Adams, fully as hardy; ears 

 measure from 10 to 14 inches in length, with 12 or more rows 

 to the car. Grains are narrow and deep, of excellent table 

 quality. Any portion of the crop not needed for table will 

 make fine ears for stock feeding. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00. 

 Tloliriniic Cream In maturit y is a little later than Early 

 I/CIILIUUa vl CGIII Adams, but it makes ears much larger and 

 longer. It is a strong grower. It will produce a larger per- 

 centage of marketable ears than any other variety. It has 

 from 2 to 3 ears to the stalk, of a most desirable size, either 

 for market or table use. The ears contain from 8 to 10 rows 

 of bright, attractive grains well filled out to the tip. Makes 

 beautiful creamy white roasting ears, while its flavor is sweet, 

 tender and delicious. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.50; bu., $5.50.

 Extra Early Adams with the finer sugary quality of the 

 Cory. Ears average 7 inches long, and are well filled 

 with grains of medium size, arranged in 10 or 12 

 regular rows. It is as hardy as the Adams, and of 

 much sweeter quality. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50.

Delue's Golden Giant 



Qt., 25c; pk.. $1.50; bu., $5.50. 



It is of California origin, resulting 

 from a cross between Country Gentle- 

 man and Golden Bantam. The kernels are long and pointed, 

 which are irregularly formed on a very small slender cob. 

 The habit of growth is rather dwarf, and the brownish red 

 stalks bear 2 to 4 ears of a rich creamy color of unequaled 

 flavor and quality, maturing with the very earliest. Qt., 30c; 

 pk., $1.65; bu., $6.00.

 UuluCll Udlliaill but medium size, usually 8 rows, thick- 

 ly set with delicious yellow kernels. Qt., 30c; pk., 

 $1.50; bu., $5.50, 



Because of the extreme tender- 

 ness, combined with the ex- 

 quisite rich sugary flavor, Golden Giant has become 

 the standard of perfection for sugar corn, and is 3 to 5 

 days earlier and 2 or 3 times as large as its own parent, 

 the Golden Bantam, of better quality, deeper color and 

 more productive. As the seed is scarce, we quote in 

 small quantities only. ^ pt., 25c; pt., 40c ; qt., 75c.

 feeding. It may be planted for early market at inter- 

 vals as soon as the frost is out of the ground until 

 middle of July. Used by many truckers for late plant- 

 ing, as it produces a sure crop. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.25;

free from starch, producing 2 4 straight, uniform rows 



on the cob. The ear holds its evenness from butt to 



tip more uniformly than any other type of Evergreen.
