CORN, Sweet or Sugar. 



Welsehkorn, Ger. Mais, Fr. Maiz, Sp. 



1 qt. will plant 200 hills; 8 to 10 qts. to aii acre, in hills. 



CULTURE. — Seed of the sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet or 

 cold ground. Vet if we have an early warm spell in spring, it may pay us to 

 take some risks. Often the plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated 

 light frost. Plant in warm soil, making the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer early 

 sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. Hills to be 2 to 3 feet apart in the 

 rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July loth. 



Packet of any variety of Sweet Corn, 10 cts., postpaid.

Dreer'S Aristocrat. This delicious Sweet Com was first introduced by us in 

 1903, previous to which it was controlled by a prominent gardener who supplies 

 truck to the aristocrats at Newport, R. I. It is an extra early variety, ripening 

 with the Cory; stalks grow 4 to 6 feet high, and ears are of large size, meas- 

 uring 8 to 10 inches in length. Pt. , 20 cts. (postpaid, 25 cts.); qt , 35 cts.

Peep o' Day. Originating in the far North, this variety is therefore extremely 

 early in maturing. Besides this very important feature, it is a " Street Corn " 

 in the true sense of the word, being remarkably sweet and tender. The stalks 

 grow about three and one-half feet high, and are usually very prolific, producing 

 from two to five ears each, which measure about five inches in length and are 

 well filled. Pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 25 cts.); qt., 30 cts (postpaid, 40 cts.); 

 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.50. 



Golden Bantam. The fact that the grains of this variety are yellow is an indi- 

 cation of hardiness and its value for early planting and early maturity. It is a 

 rapid grower, and produces ears measuring about five inches, but the smallness 

 of ears is fully made up by the deliciously sweet flavor and tender quality of 

 the Corn when cooked. It is a fine variety for the home garden. Pt., 20 cts. 

 (postpaid, 25 cts.); qt., 35 cts. (postpaid, 45 cts.); 4 qts., $1.10; peck, $1.75.
