620 Condon's Silver Queen or White Bantam 
Since the Pilgrims scHlod Massaohusetts, Sweet Corn lias boon one of the most relished ve^otables 
In early days our foretathers used the old-fashioned Indian Corn, picking same just as it came tnto the 
milk, and termed it Koastmg Kara. 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 
uiv.e been made, until one would tliink we had reached our zenith; especiaily after tasting those delicious 
types of Hendersons Golden Eod and Burpee's Golden Bantam. True, these grand tviies were far supe- 
rior to any previously introduced, "but the color was against them." Once again Nature proved a won- 
der, for we found m our field of Coklen Bantam several ears containing a few white grains. Tliesc 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 swW^ SorLess 
of the yellow sort, and yet invitingly silver white in color. Truly, this grand new variety should reign 
nX'^^.'i? T T^^'l *??''l«n' I'ot associate it with any other kind; it is ilone in its class, the SILVER 
yui-nn. in habit ot gro^yth it excels all other early varieties, being stocky and exceptionally vigorous The 
quality is most superior, very excellent and surpassingly sweet. Rars 6 to 7 inches 'long? frequently
