Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 



SWEET CORN 



A large proportion of our Sweet Corn is grown here in Burlington County, New Jersey, some upon our own farm and some upon 

 a neighboring farm. All of it is in excellent condition. The Double-barreled Best and Golden Bantam are especially fine and we would 

 call special attention to the high quality of both varieties, for it would be difficult to better them. Corn is also a war-time staple and 

 should bring high prices during 1919. 



One pound will plant 150 hills; 10 pounds will plant an acre 



240 Golden Bantam 



THE SWEETEST EARLY CORN 



This variety leads all others in sweetness and eating qualities. 

 It is also a decidedly early Corn and is, perhaps, second only to 

 Early Mayflower in this respect. The stalk grows from 4 to 5 feet 

 high and has the ear placed about half-way up the stalk. Golden 

 Bantam is a rich creamy yellow which deepens into orange when 

 ripe. The ear is 6 to 7 inches long, having eight rows to the ear. 

 It is mostly well filled up to the end of the ear and makes a very 

 desirable appearance on the table. Pkt. 10 Cts., lb. 25 Cts., 

 10 lbs. $2.25, bus. (50 lbs.) $11, 100 lbs. $22. 



241 Extra- Early Adams 



The hardiest Corn for table purposes under cultivation. Its 

 sugar content is very much lower than any other Sweet Corn 

 illustrated herein, but, if used when comparatively young, it is 

 bound to be a very palatable eating variety. The ears are from 

 8 to 10 inches long and, coming on the market when there is no 

 other local competition, it has found a very definite place in the 

 work of the market-gardener. The stock which we oflFer was 

 secured at a great deal of expense from one of our local Burlington 

 County farmers. This seed has been protected by the River 

 Front Growers for a number of years, as this early white Corn 

 has found a very important place on the New York market. 

 The entire lot which we offer was grown on our own farm this 

 past season. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 20 cts., 10 lbs. $1.80, bus. (50 lbs.) 

 $9, 100 lbs. $18. 



243 Snow- Cream Table 



The chief characteristic of this variety is its exceptional hardi- 

 ness. It grows very large and besides this produces ears even 

 earlier than the Golden Bantam. The ears, however, are not so 

 high in quality as either of the two previous varieties. It is an 

 exceptionally heavy cropper and for market use it cannot be sur- 

 passed for an early crop. It should be picked before it matures 

 too far, as it becomes rather tough when old. The stalk of this 

 variety grows 6 to 7 feet high, and mostly produces two full- 

 sized ears to the stalk. It has a twelve- or fourteen-rowed ear 

 which averages 7 to 8 inches in length. Its early maturity and 

 exceptional yield characterize it as the best early Corn for market 

 use. The quality of the variety keeps it from being a very desir- 

 able home-garden sort. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. $2, 

 bus. (50 lbs.) $10, 100 lbs. $20. 



244 White Cob Cory 



White Cob Cory has been recognized for years as one of the 

 very best early Sugar Corns. It matures about the same time as 

 Golden Bantam, but has not the quality of that variety. The 

 stalks grow about 4 feet in height, and the ear is from 6 to 7 inches 

 in length, containing twelve or fourteen rows. On the market 

 the ears of this variety make a very favorable impression, and 

 its popularity with growers for market stamps it as one of the 

 leading Sweet Corns. Our seed is from the finest stock which 

 we are able to procure, and it will be found to be one of the best 

 types of White Cob Cory ever offered. Pkt. 10 Cts., lb. 25 cts., 

 10 lbs. $2, bus. (50 lbs.) $10, 100 lbs. $20.
