CONDON'S SILVER QUEEN OR WHITE BANTAM 
THE SWEETEST OF THEM ALL 
FOR VERY EARLY 
The Best, The Largest, The Sweetest and the Biggest Yielder 
of All Early Sweet Corns 
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 strived to produce a better quality 
suited to the advanced tastes and requirements of the time. By crossing the 
various types, wonderful improvement has 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 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 in- 
vitingly 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 order that all our 
customers may try this delicious sweet corn, we must 
limit our sales to 1 quart for each cutomer. Please 
don't ask for more than 1 quart, as our supply of seed 
\ willn»t allow it. Order early, please. Large packet, 
6-**nts; pint, 14 cents; pint, 22 cents; quart, 40 
cents, postpaid.
