620 Condon's Silver Queen or White Bantam 
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 Earn. Ever since, man lias striven to produce a better quality suited to the 
advanced tastes and requirements of the time. Uy 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 supe- 
rior to any previously introduced, "but the color was against them." Once again Nature proved a won- 
der, for we found in our field of Golden Bantam several ears containing 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 wli,ite 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 swcot. Ears 6 to 7 inches long, frequently 
bearing four and five good ears from a single stalk. Packet, 10 cts.; H lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 
85 cts.; postpaid.
