YELLOW VARIETIES 



Sweet Corn 



#$•. 



Golden Sunshine 



Golden Bantam 



236 South American Mushroom 



Largest of all pop corns (120 days) 



This variety provides the largest popped corn of all, kernels meas- 

 uring over an inch across. The seed is golden yellow, but when 

 popped it's creamy white. The ears are long; plants grow 6 to 7 

 ft. tall. Three ears to a stalk are not uncommon, two ears appear 

 most frequently. In size, both of ear and popped kernels, this 

 variety exceeds all others, but Hybrid Jap Hulless is more tender 

 and better quality. 



Pkt. 10(<; l/ 2 lb. 25fi; lb. 45f<; 2 lbs. 8S$<; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.70. 



235 Japanese Hulless 



The original open pollinated strain (105 days) 



Yields two or three short, thick, 4 in. ears per stalk, each having 

 an incredibly high number of rows, sometimes as many as 26 to 

 30. The kernels are small, but very deep, having the appearance 

 of a long, thick grain of rice. The quality is very good, with rel- 

 ative freedom from hulls and extreme tenderness making the 

 popped kernels so delicious they fairly melt in your mouth. 

 Stalks 5 ft. tall. 



Pkt. lOd; y 2 lb. 25?; lb. 40f£; 2 lbs. 75c!; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.20. 



207 Golden Bantam 



The true 8-rowed strain. America's old favorite (80 days) 



The most widely known yellow sweet corn. The handy sized ears are 5 to 6 

 in. long with 8 rows of broad, deep golden yellow, sweet kernels. Plants are 

 5 to 6 ft. tall. There are many kinds of corn that are larger and some that are 

 distinctly earlier, but the rare excellence of Golden Bantam flavor keeps it a 

 best-loved variety all over the world. 



Pkt. 10fi; V 2 lb. 25*!; lb. 40£; 2 lbs. 75<<; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.20. 

 Larger quantities at still lower prices. 



227 Golden Sunshine 



Earlier, larger eared than Golden Bantam (74 days) 



The outstanding feature of this variety is the fact that it is both earlier and 

 larger eared than Golden Bantam. Instead of 8 rows, Golden Sunshine has 

 10 or 12 rows of kernels. Plants grow 5 to 5)4 feet tall, many bearing 2 ears. 

 These ears are 7 in. long, of good girth, and the 10 or 12 rows of bright golden 

 yellow kernels are closely set together. Its sweetness and flavor combined 

 with its extreme earliness make it a very popular variety. 



Pkt. lOfi; l/ 2 lb. 25f!; lb. 40*<; 2 lbs. 75?!; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.20. 

 * Larger quantities at still lower prices. 



211 Golden Giant 



We believe Golden Cross Bantam will eliminate this variety (88 days) 



Golden Giant combines the flavor of Golden Bantam with the large size of 

 Howling Mob. Ears grow 7 to 8 in. long with 12 or 14 rows of creamy yellow 

 kernels. Stalks grow 6 ft. tall. 



Pkt. 10<<; l/ 2 lb. 25£; lb. 45?!; 2 lbs. 85£; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.70. 

 Larger quantities at still lower prices. 



Culture for Sweet Corn 



Plant the seed after all danger of frost is over and the ground has become thoroughly warm. 

 Plant in rows 2yi to 4 ft. apart and the seed 8 in. apart in the rows; or put 4 seeds in a hill 

 and space the hills 3 by 4 ft. apart. Cover seed with 1 in. of soil. If planted in hills, allow 

 2 or 3 plants to remain in each hill. For a continuous supply of good fresh corn make succes- 

 sional plantings every 10 to 14 days up to July 10. Allow enough time for your last planting 

 to mature before your first expected frost. Never plant corn in a single row; it is necessary 

 to plant several rows (3 or 4) side by side. Hybrids show many great advantages over old 

 style varieties, but there is one point to remember. Do not save seed from a hybrid crop. 

 Seed saved from a hybrid crop gives l A less yield, loses uniformity, size, and vigor. Buy fresh 

 hybrid seed annually. A packet will plant 4 rows, each 25 ft. long; 1 lb. for 200 hills; \2Yz lbs. 

 for an acre. 



Pop Corn 



241 New Hybrid Jap Hulless * 



The newest and best pop corn (105 days) 



With hybrid sweet corn and hybrid field corn showing such tre- 

 mendous advantages everywhere, it was inevitable that hybrid 

 pop corn would eventually appear to displace the old varieties. 

 Hybrid Jap Hulless is a product of the University of Minnesota, 

 and it is an ideal example of hybrid superiority. It outyields reg- 

 ular Jap Hulless by 16%, and that's the least important advan- 

 tage. The biggest step forward is the fact that although the ker- 

 nels look the same they pop 29% larger by actual measurement! 

 This hybrid has rapidly monopolized the quality pop corn market. 

 You probably will not be able to buy this wonderful Jap Hulless 

 crop seed for popping, so the way to have some next winter is to 

 grow it yourself. It's worth the effort. 



Pkt. 15^; y 2 lb. 40(<; lb. 75£; 2 lbs. $1.40; 5 lbs. $3.20; 10 lbs. $6.00. 



Whether it's popped in a skillet over a gas plate, in a fancy elec- 

 tric popper, or in a wire basket at the fireplace, there's nothing 

 that brings conviviality and good cheer so universally as pop corn. 

 These days, when our pleasures must be simple ones, we appre- 

 ciate more than ever the good fun we discover right at home. Plan 

 now for next fall and winter. Just a packet of seed plants 100 feet 

 of row; yi lb. plants 400 ft.; 6 lbs. to an acre. Culture, 

 same as sweet corn. 17
