SWEET COM 
CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either planted one inch deep in roivs three or four feel apart, and the seeds 
placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or four feet each tray, according 
to the size of the variety grown. The taller the variety, or the richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. 
We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of May and plant every two or three weeks until the last week in July. In more soullierly 
latitudes plantirig is begun earlier and continued later. The earliest varieties are ready for the table in eight or nine weeks from planting and the late 
varieties in from eleven to twelve weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.

The Earliest Yellow Hybrid Sweet Corn 
The open armed welcome accorded the new hybrid and disease 
resistant varieties of Sweet Corn, is destined to reach a climax 
with this, the newest member of the hybrid family. Sunlite. after 
exhaustive trials, has proven its position at the head of the list, 
by its earliness, its productivity, and the uniform high quality 
of its ears. These average from 7 to 7 } <$ inches, with 10 to 12 rows 
of perfectly formed, pale yellow kernels that bespeak a luscious 
richness and unparalleled sweetness possessed by few other varie- 
ties. The plant is of medium height and vigorous. As it matures 
in about 70 days, it will enjoy widespread popularity because this 
makes it a quick money crop for the market grower and, by the 
same token, a favorite of the home gardener.

eastern states. The plants resemble Marcross in size and vigor.

Recommended For the Home Garden 
Shown In Colors on Back Cover 
The outstanding feature of this new hybrid variety is the wide 
spread, in maturity, which is desirable in a home garden Sweet 
Corn. The first picking is ready about the same time as Marcross 
and. due to the spread in maturity, successive pickings are made 
over a period of about 10 days or more, thereby providing a con- 
tinuous supply of the choicest Sweet Corn from one planting. The 
plants are sturdy, vigorous, 6 to 6; 1 % feet tall, and very productive. 
The ears are about 8 inches long with 12 rows of deep yellow ker- 
nels. Excellent quality.

disease. The ears are about 8 inches long, with 10 to 12 rows of 
bright yellow kernels. Matures in approximately 88 days.

125 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
(See Color Plate. Page 21) 
Practically Immune from all Bacterial Diseases 
It is with great satisfaction that we offer this variety because it is 
not susceptible to the prevalent bacterial diseases that have devas- 
tated large and small plantings during the past few years. 
The ears of Golden Cross Bantam are larger than its prototype 
Golden Bantam. It matures about four days later than Golden 
Bantam, but it is quite equal to it in quality. 
Although this is one of the late varieties, it should be included 
in your planting list, because it continues to grow to perfection 
during the cooler days of early Autumn, and is at its best when 
most other varieties have passed.

The popularity enjoyed by Stowells 
Evergreen over a long period of years, 
and in all sections of the country, has 
actuated our plant hybridizers in the

sistant to disease that it can be suc- 
cessfully grown in sections where 
Stewart's disease is prevalent. Hybrid 
Evergreen is exceptionally vigorous 
and productive. The delicious snow 
white ears are about 8' 2 inches long, 
with 16 to 18 rows of kernels which 
are fairly deep. It matures in about 
96 days.
