be planted until the soil has become warm and dry. For a full supply for the table during the entire season 
plant every ten days or two weeks until the la.st week in June in hills 2x3 feet apart for the early kinds' 
and 3x3 feet for the large late sorts. Some plant in rows 3i4 feet apart and 8 inches apart in the rows' 
Give frequent and thorough cultivation all the season. Fully two weeks can be gained by starting Sweet 
Corn in pots or berry baskets, placing them in a hot bed or cold frame. They should not be started too' 
early; three weeks before it is safe to plant in the field is plenty soon enough. Plants should be well

FIRST EARLY VARIETIES 
EWING'S "GOLDEN BANTAM" 
_ A Gem for the small garden. A small ear of remarkable quality and 
IS becoming each year more firmly fixed in popular favor because of its extreme 
early character, vigorous growth and surpassingly delicious flavor. It is pro- 
nounced by thousands of planters the finest extra-early sweet corn 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 Com. The 
stalks are dwarf and sturdy in habit, growing to a height of four feet; they bear 
two and three good small ears, which have eight rows of broad yellow grains, 
extending to the extreme rounded tip. 
Is as distinct in flavor from that of white varieties as in color — being almost 
literally "sweet as honey." Lb. 45c.; <i lb. ISc. (post paid, lb. SSc; '4 lb. 20c.), 
EARLIEST CATAWBA 
Resembles Golden Bantam in dwarf growth and extreme earliness. but differs 
in coloring and flavor. Uniformly handsome ears from six to seven inches long, 
well filled to the tip with eight rows of broad grains. When ready for use the 
grains are pearly white, sometimes slightly flushed with rose-pink, but in the dry 
seed the color is the exact counterpart of a fine Catawba grape — a dark rich 
purple shaded with rose. Pkt. 10c. ; lb. 20c.; lb. SSc. (post paid, lb. 65c.; 
'A lb. 2Sc.). 
GOULD'S GOLDEN GENTLEMAN 
The ears are medium sized with irregular rows of bright yellow kernels. 
The color is rather a more pronounced yellow than golden. Of most delicious 
flavor, very sweet and juicy and is without a peer in this respect. Bears 
uniformly two ears to the stalk. Lb. 45c.; H lb. 15c. ; pkt. 10c. (post 
paid, lb. SSc; H lb. 20c,). 
EWING'S PEEP O'DAY 
On account of its extreme earliness Peep o'Day sweet corn is especially adapted 
for planting in northern latitudes and in high altitudes where other varieties fail 
entirely. It is not unusual to find a single plant bearing from four to five ears. 
The stalks grow 3^ to 4H feet in height, and having light foliage may stand 
very close together. The ears are small. 5 to 6 inches in length. The kernels, 
though not large, are of good substance and borne 8 to 12 rows to the ear. Lb. 
40c.; 1^ lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. 50c. ; }4 lb. 20c.). 
METROPOLITAN 
It is very little later than Cory, which has been the most popular early sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 5)^ feet in height. 
The leaves are numerous, narrow and very dark green in color. The ears are 
from 8 to 9 inches long and all set low. They are 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to 
the tip with large deep grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, 
but possesses that exquisite richness so well known in the larger and later sorts 
Lb. 40c.; \:i lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. 5Dc.; U lb. 20c.). 
HOLMES' NEW PREMO 
A "sixty-day" Sweet Corn that combines all the merits of the leading varieties, 
and is superior to many of them in size, quality and yield. Premo can be planted 
very early, as the young plants withstand slight frosts, while many other varieties 
are tender. The stalks grow about 5 feet high and are very vigorous, generally 
bearing two well-developed ears to the stalk. Lb. 40c.; W lb. 15c, (post paid, 
lb. SOc; 1.; lb. 20c.). 
MALAKOFF — The earliest Sweet Com grown. Particularly suited to northern 
districts. Ears and stalk are small. Lb. 45c. : H lb. 15c. (post paid, lb. 55cl : 
I4 lb. 20c.). 
EARLY CORY — An extra early variety with a red cob. Succeeds well where 
summer is short, cool, and moist. Ears about six inches long with eight rows 
of broad grains. Lb. 40c.; H lb. ISc. (post paid, lb. SOc; '4 lb. 20c.). 
WHITE-COB CORY— As early as the Red-Cob Cory, but not quite so hardy. 
Grains are pearly white and retain their color when cooked. Lb. 40c.; lb. 
15c. (post paid, lb. 50c.; '.i lb. 20c.). 
MINNESOTA EARLY — A strong growing, standard early variety. Ears a^e 
larger than Cory, and matures a little later. Eight rows of large, sweet grains. 
Lb. 40c.; >4 lb. ISc. (post paid, lb. SOc; '4 lb. 20c.). 
MAMMOTH WHITE CORY— An excellent sort but little later than Early Cory

twelve-rowed ears of remarkably good quality for so early a variety. One of 
the largest and best extra-early varieties known. Lb. 40c.: H lb. ISc. (post 
paid, lb. 50c.: <i lb. 20c.).
