SWEET CORN

 SOLD AT THE HUNDRED POUND RATE 



YELLOW MID-SEASON VARIETIES 



CREAM-O-GOLD. 



This variety was introduced by us in 1937 as XI 00, but due to the shortage of our seed 

 supply, we have been unable to offer it to our market garden customers until now. The 

 plants are exceptionally uniform, and as productive as most of the hybrid varieties. The 

 ears are more slender than any yellow variety in use at the present time, measuring 8 to 9 

 inches long with 8 to 10 rows of kernels that are deep yellow in color. In quality, sweetness 

 and tenderness, Cream-O-Gold is far superior to any Sweet Corn we have ever seen. In 

 season it is slightly later than Golden Cross Bantam, maturing in approximately 88 days.

GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. 



This variety was introduced by us in 1926, and it combines all the sugary sweetness and 

 tenderness of the original Country Gentleman, with the rich, sweet flavor and color of Golden 

 Bantam. The ears are practically as large (averaging 6 to 7 inches long) as White Country 

 Gentleman. The kernels are without row formation, and the remarkable depth of kernel 

 characterizing the white parent, is fully retained in the new variety. The plants are vigorous, 

 uniform and productive, producing two well formed ears to a stalk. Matures in approximately 

 87 days.
