THE SWEETEST OF THEM ALL 
FOR VERY EARLY 
The Best, the Sweetest and the Biggest Yielder 
Since the Pilgrims settled Massachusetts Sweet Corn has been, one- of 
the most relished vegetables. In early days our forefathers used the old- 
fashioned Indian Corn, picking same just as. it came into the milk, and 
termed it Roasting Ears. Ever since, man has striven to produce a better 
quality suited to the advanced tastes and requirements of the time. By 
crossing the various types, wonderful improvements 
have been made, until one would think we had reached 
our zenith; especially after tasting those delicious 
types of Henderson's Golden Rod and Burpee's Golden 
Bantam. True, these grand types were far superior to 
any previously introduced, "but the color was against 
them." Once again Nature proved a wonder, for we 
found in our field of Golden Bantam several ears con- 
taining a few white grains. These were selected, 
planted by themselves, and today we have a distinct 
type of WHITE BANTAM, known as our SILVER 
QUEEN. Think of it, a WHITE BANTAM CORN, 
which contains all of the sweet lusciousness of the 
yellow sort, and yet invitingly silver white in color. 
Truly, this grand new variety should reign supreme 
in every garden. Do not associate it with any other 
kind; it is alone in its class, the SILVER QUEEN. 
In habit of growth it excels all other early varieties, 
being stocky and exceptionally vigorous. The quality 
is most superior, very excellent and surpassingly sweet.

BURPEE'S "GOLDEN BANTAM" 
Is becoming each year more firmly fixed in popular favor because of its extreme- 
early character, vigorous growth and surpassingly delicious flavor. We have had 
hundreds of most enthusiastic letters from customers, giving it the highest praise 
as the finest extra-early Sweet Corn they have ever grown. 
Although the dry grain is entirely free from any flinty glaze, it is exceptionally 
hard and firm, hence can be planted earlier than any other true Sweet Corn. The 
stalks are dwarf and sturdy in habit, growing to a height of 4 feet; they bear 2 
and 3 good' ears, which are set well above the ground. The ears, 5 to 7 inches in 
length, have 8 rows of broad yellow grains, extending to the extreme rounded tip. 
Many market gardeners report that they find GOLDEN BANTAM their most 
profitable variety throughout the season (from successive plantings) as soon as 
customers get acquainted with its splendid flavor and distinct color. Large packet, 
6 cents; y 2 pint, 14 cents; pint, 22 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. 
Every garden should have at least a row each of these two wonderfully 
extra-early varieties of Sweet Corn. They are world beaters in their class.
