SWEET COM 



CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Corn may be eillier planted one inch deep in rows three or four feel apart, and the seed* 

 placed about eight indies apart in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or four feel each way, 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 southerly 

 latitudes planting is begun earlier and continued later. The earliest varieties are ready for the table in eight or nine weeks from planting and the lali 

 varieties in from eleven to twelve weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



HYBRID VARIETIES 



Exceptionally Vigorous and Resistant to Stewart's Disease 



105 CREAM-O-GOLD (See Color Plate, Page 22) 



The Sweetest, Tenderest and Daintiest Sweet Corn. 

 Introduced by Us in 1937 as X-100 



The stock of Cream-O-Gold we now offer is a hybrid, which has 

 all the qualities and ear characteristics of the original stock, and 

 in addition is more productive. 



Its luscious sweetness is the result of many years of breeding; 

 its unusual tenderness is due to the gossamer-like casing of the 

 kernels; its daintiness to the pencil-like thickness of the cob; its 

 attractive appearance to its creamy yellow color. 



The plants are very uniform, about 5 Yi feet high. Many stalks 

 produce two full-sized ears of 8 to 10 rows of kernels that are about 

 8 to 9 inches long. It matures in 88 days.

138 SUNLITE (See Color Plate, Page 22 > 



The Earliest Yellow Hybrid Sweet Corn 



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 Yi inches, with 10 to 

 12 rows of perfectly formed, pale yellow kernels that bespeak a 

 luscious richness and unparalleled sweetness possessed by few 

 other varieties. 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.

 diseases. When planted at the sanie time as Golden Cross Bantam.

Ill CARMELCROSS 



A new hybrid of the Marcross type but 3 to 4 days later in maturity 

 and especially recommended in New' England and the North- 

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

 The ears are 7 y% to 8 inches in length, 

 well filled with 12 to 14 rows of deep 

 yellow kernels. An ideal variety to 

 come in between Marcross and Golden 

 Cross Bantam. This allows the home 

 gardener to enjoy delicious Sweet Corn 

 through the entire growing season, 

 enabling the Corn to be gathered at the 

 moment of perfection and cooked just 

 when wanted. The inviting deep yel- 

 low color, together with its tantalizing 

 aroma, make this Corn a very appetiz- 

 ing dish. Matures in approximately 

 79 days. 



117 GOLDEN SUCCESSION 



Henderson's New Long Season Hybrid Sweet Corn 

 Recommended For the Home Garden 



The outstanding featune 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 Yi feet tall, and very productive. 

 The ears are about 8 inches long with 1 2 rows of deep yellow ker- 

 nels. Excellent quality.

115 IOANA 



This new mid-season hybrid follows Golden Cross Bantam in ma- 

 turity by 3 to 4 days. The plants are exceptionally vigorous, very 

 productive, and have proven to be highly resistant to Stewart's 

 disease. The ears are about 8 inches long, with 10 to 12 rows of 

 bright vellow kernels. Matures in approximately 88 days. 

 Price, pkt., 20c; y 2 lb., 40c; lb., 70c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 



125 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 



{See Color Plate, Page 22 

 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 

 development of a hybrid strain so re- 

 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 8Y2 inches long, 

 with 16 to 18 rows of kernels which 

 are fairly deep'. It matures in about 

 96 days.
