CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown one inrh deep in routs three to four 

 feet apart, and the seeds plaeed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills at dis- 

 tances of three or four feet each way. according to the size of the variety grown The toller the. 

 variety, or the richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our first plantings 

 in this vicinity about the middle of May and plant every two or three weel;s until the last week 

 in July. In more southerly latitudes planting is begun earlier and continued later. The earliest 

 varieties are ready for the table in eight or nine weeks from sowing and the late varieties in from eleven to twelve weeks. One quart for 200 hills.

Golden Bantam 



— W"* 



A Gem for the Small Garden. Small Ear of Remarkable Quality and Flavor 

 ONE OF THE SWEETEST SUGAR CORNS GROWN 



119. Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early variety of exceptionally good quality 

 and reliability. It has become one of the most popular varieties in our list. "While 

 the individual plant and ear are small, it is planted so much closer than the larger- 

 eared sorts, that the net product from a given area is the same as that from the 

 ordinary varieties. The plant is about five feet high, medium early, but exception- 

 ally stocky and vigorous. In all respects it is a gem — in size of plant, ear and grain. 

 It is particularly well adapted to small gardens, on account of its small size; to the 

 more pretentious garden on account of its excessive cropping ability on a given 

 area, and to all because of its superb quality and delicious, satisfying flavor. It may 

 be planted to advantage in hills three feet apart each way. If in rows, they shoulc 

 be three feet apart, and the plants standing singly at nine inch intervals. It is 

 probably the best to use where only one sort is planted, for it succeeds admirably 

 under all conditions. (See engraving.)

Plant for Extra Early Sweet Corn 



Henderson's Pocahontas 



127. Pocahontas was obtained by the careful, painstak- 

 ing effort of a New York truck-gardener to whom earli- 

 ness meant all, and his work was eminently successful 

 The plant is of dwarf habit and very robust. The ears 

 are of good size and are always well filled, having nc 

 gaps between the rows — a common fault of many early 

 sorts. The flavor is excellent for so early a variety. 

 While we recommend it primarily as a first early sort, it 

 has been found to have great value for the latest crops. 

 as it may be planted in this vicinity as late as July 15th. 

 thus prolonging the season for Sweet Corn to its utmost 

 length. (See engraving.)

It is perhaps not generally known that Sweet Corn is much more tender and retains its flavor better when put into cold 



water and gradually brought to the boiling point
