SWEET CORN 



MID-SEASON and 

 LATE VARIETIES 



CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either planted one inch deep in rows three or four feet apart, and the seeds placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted 

 in hills at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the size of the variety grown. The taller 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 weeks 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 planting and the late varieties in from eleven to twelve 

 weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills, 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



116 METROPOLITAN (Henderson's) 



Metropolitan combines the essential features of earliness, pro- 

 ductiveness and good flavor. 



The pure white ears are from 8 to 9 inches long and all set 

 low. They are 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip with large, 

 deep grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, 

 but possesses that exquisite richness so well known in the larger 

 and later sorts. 



Price, pkt., ISc; Yi lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 

 15 lbs., $4.50; transportation paid. 



123 GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



(Henderson's) 



It Delights Both Eye and Palate. (.See Color Plate, Page 21.) 

 Its appearance is most inviting — the color being a [glis- 

 tening, glowing, golden yellow hard to describe or even to re- 

 produce in a colored plate. 



The ears are not quite as large as white Country Gentleman 

 but the remarkable depth of kernel characterizing the original 

 variety is fully retained in the new, as well as the ball-shaped 

 ends of the kernels. It matures a few days earlier than the white. 



Price, pkt., 15c; J^ lb., 40c; lb., 75c; 2 lbs., §1.25; 8 lbs., $4.25; 

 transportation paid. 



121 GOLDEN ROD (Henderson's) 



Delicious Golden Grains of Rich Flavor. 



(See Color Plate, Page 21 .) 

 Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen 

 and Golden Bantam, and proves to be a happy and complete 

 blending of each sort. The ear is just large enough for ordinary 

 consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, and bear on each 

 stalk, at a convenient height, two ears packed with delicious 

 golden grains of appetizing flavor. 



Price, pkt., 15c; Yz lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 

 15 lbs., $4.50; transpoftation paid. 



101 BLACK MEXICAN 



Medium early, bearing 8-inch ears. Well filled with large ker- 

 nels, which, paradoxically, though black when ripe, are white 

 when "green" and then exceptionally sweet. 



Price, pkt., 10c; Yi lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 8 lbs., $2.50; 

 transportation paid. 



107 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn in the World — Plump, 

 Pearly-white, Milky Kernels, Fairly Melting in the Mouth. 



This 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 within the reach of everybody. 



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 illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; Yi lb., 25c; lb.. 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 8 lbs., $2.50; 

 15 lbs., $4.50; transportation paid. 



130 STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 

 The Best Late Variety 



Long recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for 

 home use and market, and is a general favorite. The ears are 

 of a large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, 

 and have the advantage of remaining longer in the green state 

 than any other. Our stock has been carefully grown and selected. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; Yt, lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 8 lbs., $2.50;

134 WHIPPLE'S YELLOW 



For those who want a yellow sweet corn with larger ears 

 than the Golden Bantam, Whipple's Yellow fills the bill. 

 It is practically as early as Golden Bantam, but the ears are 12 

 to 14 rowed, and the quality is all that could be desired. The 

 plant itself is particularly vigorous and healthy. 



Price, pkt., 10c; Yi lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 

 transportation paid.
