GOLDEN BANTAM. This new variety of yel- 

 low grained Sweet Corn is one of the richest in 

 flavor of any corn grown. Of extreme hardi- 

 ness, can be planted earlier than any other true 

 sweet corn, and will then produce the earliest 

 supply of ears for the table. The stalks grow 

 about four feet in height and average about two 

 good ears to each stalk. The ears are 5 to 6 

 inches in length. The flavor is exceptionally 

 rich and sngarv, claimed to be the sweetest of

EARLY EVERGREEN. This variety is a se- 

 lection from the Stowell's Evergreen. It 

 possesses every good quality of Stow r ell's 

 Evergreen and resembling it in every re- 

 spect, except that the stalk is about one foot 

 shorter, more closely joined, and that it will 

 mature fully 10 days earlier. It is a splendid 

 variety to come in between the early and the 

 late sorts. There is no better variety than the 

 Early Evergreen for the market gardener who 

 wishes to get the cream of the trade. It will 

 no doubt become a popular variety. Per pkt.

 better for green feed, or for curing for winter

 of being so sweet and palatable that cattle eat 

 every part of the stalks and leaves. Also ex- 

 orllPTit for soiling. Sow in drills or broadcast.
