GOLDEN CREAM SUGAR CORN 
A cross of Country Gentleman and Colden Bantam, taking on 
the character of the former variety, except incolor. The ears are 
ready for use at an early season; grains are long and pointed, 
rich cream color when ready, but turn to light golden-yellow 
when cooked, making an attractive appearance on the table. The 
quality is very fine, being remarkably sweet and tender. Stalks 
are brownish-red, and make a healthy, rapid growth, producing 
from 2 to 4 ears each. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or 
freight, at purchaser’s expense, lb., 45 cts.; 2 Ibs., 80 cts. (If

grained Sugar Corn, but because of their delicious quality this

grained variety, but when one gets the sweet, delicious taste, 
the color of grain is forgotten. Stalks about 5 feet high and 
bear 2 and 8 ears, free from smut and filled out to the extreme 
tip. Pkt., 10 cts. by mail. By express or freight, at pur- 
chases’s expense, Ib., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts. (If wanted by
