Golden Rod" Sweet 



NOVELTYI 



Yellow Corns are being greatly appreciated, as they 

 lave a very delicious flavor, and this new "Golden 

 Rod" Sweet Corn is no exception to this rule. It is a hybrid, result- 

 ing from a cross between the "Stowell's Evergreen" and "Golden 

 Bantam," and it possesses many of the merits of both parents. Tlie 

 plant is sturdy and leafy, growing 6 to 7 feet high, bearing 2 ears to 

 the stalk in 60 to 70 days from planting; the ears are 8 to 10 inches 

 in length, filled with 12 rows of deep, succulent kernels of very 

 delicious quality, exceedingly tender and melting. Giving to the 

 heavy protecting husk, it maintains its eating qualities longer, and 

 resists the attacks of insects, worms and smut to a greater extent 

 than most other Corn. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 30 cts., qt. 50 cts., by 

 mail, postpaid; by express or freight, pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts., Hpk.
