SWEET CORN 



(Zea mays yar. saccharata.) Probably native of Peru. Recent discoveries 

 indicate that it was growing much in its present form far back into geologi- 

 cal time — perhaps 100,000 years. The first reference to Sweet Corn was 

 reported near Plymouth, Mass., as having come from the Susquehanna 

 Indians in 1779.

Early Malcolm. 



Days to maturity, 55. This extremely valuable 

 Canadian variety was first introduced into the 

 United States by this Company in 1920. One of its parents was Early 

 Malakoff, a Russian variety. It is the earliest Sweet Coin in existence, 

 maturing some 10 days ahead of Golden Bantam. Early Malcolm 

 is produced in slender stalks, about 3^ 2 feet high. The well-filled 

 ears are about 6 inches in length. By planting May 10, ears 

 in the edible stage should be ready by July 4. This variety is 

 high in sugar content and is delicious to the taste. For anyone 

 catering to a private trade, we very strongly recommend Early 

 Malcolm for it will gain friends readily. On the large markets, 

 where the matter of sale is strictly impersonal, it perhaps will 

 not compete well against the Early White varieties, such as 

 Adams, etc., which are not Sweet Corn, and which, really have 

 no place on the high-class produce market. In any case where 

 the grower is able to make close contact with the consumer. 

 Early Malcolm will prove extremely valuable. For all such 

 operations and for home consumption it is whole-heartedly 

 recommended. Price, y^\h. 15 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 60 cts., 

 10 lbs. $2.25, 50 lbs. $10.00, delivered. 



Golden Bantam. 



Days to maturity, 70. This very- 

 popular and valuable early yellow va- 

 riety has established a secure place for itself commercially 

 because of its popularity with the consumer. The small, 8- 

 rowed ears, usually less than 6 inches in length, are perhaps 

 higher in sugar content than any other Sweet Corn. The ears 

 are produced on stalks about 4 feet high. Golden Bantam will 

 mature about 10 days after Early Malcolm. Price, Vilb. 

 15 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50, 50 lbs. $10.00, 

 delivered. 



C A*^r>*-k Days to maturity, 88. This standard 

 I^OUnrry gentleman, ^s^te variety of the broken-row type- 

 has been on the market for over thirty years. It is a further 

 development of the older Shoe-Peg, as introduced by Johnson 

 Stokes in 1890. The length of the ears is about 6 inches and th< 

 eating quality exceptionally good on account of its high suga 

 content and the depth of the grain. Because of the small circum 

 ference of the ear, this variety is not grown on a large commercia 

 scale, except for canning purposes, but for truckers who have their 

 own private channels of trade. Country Gentleman is very highly 

 recommended. Price, Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 

 $2.50, 50 lbs. $10.00, delivered.

 OLOWeil b J-iVt5rgreeil. q^^^ sixty years. Ears about 8 inches in length are borne on stalks about 7

 weather for maturity, and we will warn our more northerly customers to be on their guard in this particular.

 rows to the ear. The stock we offer has been grown in Burhngton County, New Jersey under ideal conditions.
