26 J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 
Sweet Corn 
Corn is the most important food crop of the world for both man or beast and to 
have the best results, it is necessary to have first class Selected Seed to plant, and 
especially of such varieties as have been found from experience to be best adapted for — 
the South. Cheap, pocrly selected seed, usually produces a crop of very inferior quality 
s0 it always pays to piant the best. We handle all the best varieties of Seed Corn, and 
have them selected for us by growers who make this their business. % 
Frotscher’s Adams’ Early. 
CULTURE.—Plant in hills about three , 
feet apart, drop four or five seeds and 
thin-out to two or three. Plant for a suc- 
cession from February to June. Seed corn 
that is in perfect condition today may be 
unfit for use in three days, and we suggest 
that you spread out all seed corn the 
moment it is received from any seed 
house or grower. The following informa- 
tion was given us by an experienced Mis- 
souri farmer “The only way to keep corn 
free from weevils in a crib is to put a gal- 
lon of coal oil at the four corners of the 
crib, taking the corks off and allowing the 
oil to evaporate. The fumes from the oil 
will keep away the weevils and will not 
impair the germination of the corn in any 
way.” 1 quart to 500 hills, 8 quarts to the 
acre. Matures in 70 to 110 days. 
FROTSCHER’S ADAMS’ EARLY.—An 
excellent early variety and used for table, 
particularly in the South. The ears are 
about eight inches long, twelve or fourteen 
rowed. The kernels are white, rounded, 
somewhat deeper than broad and indented

transparent than the inner. The stalks are 
about six feet high. Packet, 10c.; 1 Ihb., 
35c.; 2 lbs., G6Oc., postpaid; 14-lb. peck,

ST. CHARLES RED COB WHITE.—No 
fault can be found with this grand variety, 
pure white corn with ears large, moderately 
rough, deep grain. Stalks grow very leafy
