 started thin to 2 or 3 feet apart in the row. In the South, seed may be 

 sown from January to May and from August to October.

Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but 

 a satisfactory crop can be grown in any garden if the soil is deeply and 

 thoroughly worked before planting. Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if 

 planted in cold weather, so planting should be governed by this fact. 

 Seeds may be planted either in rows or hills. If planted in rows, they 

 should be spaced from 2J/^ to 4 feet apart, depending on the height of the 

 variety; seeds should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and 

 covered about 2 inches deep. If planting in hills, drop 5 or 6 seeds per 

 hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each way. When plants are 4 or 5 

 inches tall, thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed until the 

 ears are set. 



Not less than 5 lbs. of a variety sold at the 10 lb. rate. 

 Prices Postpaid in U. S. A. 



ALAMEDA SWEET Medium early variety especially suited for use on 

 the Pacific Coast. Short stocky plants produce medium to large 

 ears, 8 or 9 inches long, and 10 to 14 rowed. A white corn, tender 

 and sweet. 

 Carton 10c; lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $3.50. 



ALPHA The earliest of the sweet corn varieties, producing ears of 

 cooking size in 71 days. The kernels are milky white when in the 

 best table condition and surprisingly sweet and tender for such an 

 early variety.

BANTAM EVERGREEN (Golden) 95 days. The good qualities of 

 both Golden Bantam and Stowell's Evergreen are blended in this 

 excellent variety. The large ears contain rich golden kernels of fine 

 flavor. Remains in condition for the table a long while. 

 Carton 10c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50. 



BLACK MEXICAN 88 days. This is one of the richest flavored and 

 tenderest of sweet corns. Many are misled by the bluish-black 

 color of the ripe seed, but when in table condition the kernels are 

 pearly white and superior to many of the other white sweet corns. 

 Carton 10c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50. 



CARMEL GOLDEN 85 days. A dwarf, second early sweet corn popu- 

 lar in California. The ears, mostly 12 rowed, are moderately large 

 and thick with broad, deep kernels of creamy-yellow color.

CHARLEVOIX (Gold Standard) 86 to 88 days. For 

 home gardeners we recommend this as the standard 

 of excellence in every way. The ears are small like 

 those of Golden Bantam, the light kernels tender 

 and sweet. Slightly later than Golden Bantam. Our 

 own development.

 oped. Ears about 7^ inches long with deep, white, 

 sweet kernels that remain fresh and tender remark- 

 ably long. 

 Carton 10c; lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $4.00.
