Golden Rod 



Sweet Corn 



DELICIOUS GOLDEN GRAINS 

 OF RICH FLAVOR 



121. It is worthy of note that the varieties of 

 Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those 

 that differ radically either in form or color from the 

 ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and the yel- 

 low varieties show a strongly marked divergence 

 from type in the matter of color, and Country Gen- 

 tleman an equally marked divergence in form, and 

 these varieties excel all others in sweetness and 

 flavor. 



When the existing yellow or golden colored vari- 

 eties were introduced, it was hard to convince the 

 public of their value; but as everyone who tasted 

 them became enthusiastic in publishing their praise, 

 they soon came into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between S to- 

 well 's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves 

 to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. 

 The ear is none too small, nor is it large and bulky, 

 but just large enough for ordinary consumption. 

 The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, profusely 

 leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a convenient 

 height, two ears lavishly packed with delicious 

 golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt, 70c. qt, $2.50 half peck.

Country Gentleman 



Sweet Corn 



PLUMP, PEARLY-WHITE, MILKY KERNELS 

 FAIRLY MELTING IN THE MOUTH 



107. When we first placed this Corn before the 

 public in 1891, it created a great furore among Com 

 lovers — and who is there in America who does not 

 enjoy "green Corn on the Cob." 



These first impressions have been fully justified 

 by later experiences, and the Country Gentleman 

 Corn has become justly famous all over the United 

 States and in some foreign countries as well. It is 

 at once the delight of the epicure and a luxury wit hin 

 the reach of everybody. As will be noticed in the 

 engraving opposite, the kernels are perfectly round 

 at the end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob 

 being extremely small; nothing, in fact, but a core. 

 . It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender and 

 milky, and remains "in the milk" longer than other 

 Sweet Corn. The ears measure 8 to 9 inches in 

 length, and the plant is very prolific, often producing 

 three ears to a stalk. It is a slow-maturing variety 

 and arrives at full perfection just in time to succeed 

 the earlier varieties. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.50 half peck. 



Golden Bantam 



Sweet Corn 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST SUGAR CORNS 

 GROWN 



119. While the individual plant and ear are 

 small, it may be planted so much closer than the 

 larger-eared sorts, so- that the .net product from a 

 given area is about the same as of ordinary sorts. 

 The plant is about 5 feet high, medium early, but of 

 exceptionally good quality. In all respects it is a 

 gem — in size of plant, ear and grain. (See engraving 

 and full description on page 130
