Beautiful Golden Yellow Ears Maturing a Week to 

 Ten Days Earlier Than Golden Bantam (53 days) 



We would like to see every grower of Sweet Corn plant a good size plot of this splendid variety to 

 convince himself of its remarkable qualities. Its earliness alone is a factor that should appeal to 

 everyone whether he grows Sweet Corn for market or for home use. When we say that it has the 

 Golden Bantam flavor we know that thousands of growers will realize that it has a sweet and but- 

 tery flavor of exceptional lusciousness. Its limited habit of growth, the plants are only 4J4 ft. tall, 

 makes it possible to grow the rows closely together and therefore increase the yield from a given 

 area. Most plants produce two perfectly-formed large ears about 614 to 7 in. in length. There are 

 twelve rows of bright yellow, sweet grains to the ear. There are already thousands of gardeners 

 who grow this excellent variety and we know that many thousands more will grow it this season.
