SUGAR CORN 

 Morse's Golden Cream 



Seymour's Sweet-Orange. ^ 



IS a very 

 early yel- 

 low Country Gentleinan Sweet Corn. The 

 kernels are long and pointed, the cob is very 

 slender and the whole ear about as long as 

 Golden Bantam. The flavor is remarkable, 

 in fact, very much the same as Golden 

 Bantam. The habit of growth is rather dwarf 

 and the stalks bear two to four ears. The 

 stalks are brownish red and the silk is also 

 brown at the tips. 



It is among our earliest varieties and the 

 color, at eating stage, is a rich cream, cook- 

 ing to a light golden yellow. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 Vi^l. 30 cts., pt. 50 cts., qt. 85 cts. 



Swee t- 

 )range 



is a most desirable second-early or mid sea- 

 son variety, growing vigorously from six to 

 seven feet in height, and producing an aver- 

 age of two good ears to a stalk. The ears are 

 ready for use five days to a week later than 

 those of Golden Bantam, and are from six to y 

 to seven inches in length, with twelve to four- 

 teen rows of deep, rather slender grains of 

 a light canary-yellow. It is fully equal in sur- 

 passingly delicious flavor to our famous 

 Golden Bantam! Some planters pronounce 

 it even ahead of Golden Bantam on account 

 of its larger ears and the greater length of 

 time that they remain in fine condition for 

 the table. 



Sweet-Orange is all that can be desired as a companion variety to Golden Bantam. Of strong 

 growth, the larger ears are well filled and the grains are exceptionally sweet, tender and full of 

 milk. A great point of merit with the Seymour Sweet-Orange is that when the grains develop they 

 remain soft and tender and retain their sweetness for a longer period than those of any other 

 second-early Sweet Corn. .A.11 reports from cool northern localities praise the hardiness of growth 

 and early season of maturity. Pkt. 10 cts , pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., 2 qts. 60 cts., 4 qts. $1.10, pk. $2. 



Burpee's Earliest Catawba y^^^ nearly approaches Golden Bantam in its dwarf growth and extreme earliness, but differs from
