 554. Extra Early Snowflake. (SPECIALTY. 

 see page 6.) This splendid new variety has been produced 

 by patient effort to produce a larger and better flavored ear 

 to take the place of Extra Early Adams and which can be 

 planted in the cool, early spring. While not quite as large, 

 it comes earlier than Ideal and will prove a very valuable 

 market variety for the first early production. A trial of 

 this new variety is recommended to all who wish to reap the 

 early high profits. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 40 cts.; qt. 65 cts.. post-

564. Bolgiano's Extra Early Ideal Sweet Com. 



We have never put out any corn that has given more satis- 

 faction to the market gardener than the "Ideal"; it meets his 

 every demand. Extra early, large ears, 8 to 10 inches long; 

 has a mild, sweet flavor; very tender; vigorous grower, pro- 

 ducing a wonderful crop of corn for the early market. Can 

 be planted as early as the Extra Early Adams. Thousands 

 of truckers and market gardeners are using the "Ideal" for 

 early planting. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.. postpaid; 

 pk. $2.00; bu. $7.25; ears $1.00 doz. 



559. Golden Bantam. One of the sweetest corns 

 grown. It is a dwarf, medium early variety of exceptionally 

 good quality. In all respects it is a gem — in size of plant, 

 ear and grain. It is particularly well adapted to small gar- 

 dens on account of its small size; to the more pretentious on 

 account of its excessive cropping ability on a given area, 

 and to all because of its superb quality and luscious satis- 

 fying flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts., postpaid; 

 pk. $2.00; hu. $7.00.

This is the best Extra Early White Sugar Corn that has ever 

 been placed on the market. It is several days earlier than 

 the "Golden Bantam," sweeter flavor, ears larger and pure 

 white in color. It is a rapid grower, medium in height, 

 large yielder, 3 to 4 ears to the stalk, 6 to 7 inches long. A 

 wonderful corn for early home use. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; 

 qt. 60 cts., postpaid; pk. $2.25; bu. $8.00.

 grows 4 to 5 feet high, producing two good ears to tiie stalk, 

 which measures 7 to 9 inches in length. In season this corn 

 ripens about 4 to 6 days later than White Cory. Its unusual 

 name arose from the fact that the Market Gardener who 

 originated this strain had so many people crowded about his 

 stand that it was really a mob calling loudly for his corn.

 $7.00.
