SWEET CORN - 



Kingscrost Golden Bantam (New) 



Inbred hybrid. Ten days earlier. Complete evenness in ripening. 

 Probably resistant to Stewart's Disease 



Days to maturity, 60. A new departure in yellow Sweet Corn. 

 The hybridization of inbred strains has developed an astonish- 

 ingly uniform Sweet Corn of the true 8-rowed Golden Bantam 

 type, maturing ten days earlier than the original. Another result 

 of the cross is great evenness of growth. The stalks are the same 

 height, the ears are in the same position on the stalk, and all 

 mature at one time. The harvest is, therefore, controlled by the 

 planting which is a great saving in labor. This new develop- 

 ment has yet to be proved in the states afflicted with Stewart's 

 Disease, but we offer it with the confident expectation that it will 

 prove resistant to that scourge which is wiping out the old 

 Golden Bantam in many areas. Kingscrost Golden Bantam is 

 an F' hybrid and thus must be renewed each year from the 

 original parents. This variety must not be confused with 

 Golden Cross Bantam which is a 10-rowed type of Bantam 

 maturing about three weeks later than Kingscrost Golden Bantam. 

 It is the progeny of entirely different parents.

StowelPs Evergreen Special 



Uniformly productive. Handsome 16-row ear. High in 

 sugar-content 



Days to maturity, 100. A privately grown Burlington County 

 strain, the result of many years' personal selection. This may 

 be looked on as an outstanding stock of the standard late 

 variety. Stalks grow to a height of 7 feet. The ears are 8 

 inches long. Kernels very deep, white, sweet, and tender. 

 Growers who desire one of the very purest strains of Stowell's 

 Evergreen can plant this with great confidence.

Stokes Vanguard 



White. Very early. Productive. Excellent quality. One of the 

 best money-makers 



Days to maturity, 70. Introduced by Stokes in 1926. As its 

 name implies. Stokes Vanguard is a leader in the procession of 

 white Sweet Corn. The stock we offer is unexcelled, being the 

 result of ear-to-row selection over a period of years. Will ma- 

 ture seven days earlier than Howling Mob, developing market- 

 able ears in slightly over two months. Average length, 8 inches. 



Table quality excellent. Originally devel- 

 oped by A. L. Richie, a successful New 

 Jersey grower. This stock is grown pri- 

 vately for us in its home county. It has 

 proved enormously profitable in many areas.

Sunny Slope Special 



A Stokes introduction in 1924. Origi- 

 nated by A. L. Richie, a successful New 

 Jersey farmer whose farm-home, "Sunny 

 Slope," has been responsible for several 

 important Corn introductions. 



Days to maturity, 72. This variety was 

 developed to meet the demand for an 

 t'arly-maturing Corn of high table quality. 

 Its time of ripening will follow right after 

 Vanguard. The variety has remarkably 

 thick ears, and the kernels are high in 

 Ml gar-content. The Corn we offer was 

 uiown in New Jersey in 1932.
