THE C. S. BRENT SEED CO. Inc 
Garden Corn 
The early Garden Corns, such as the Adams and Early North- 
ern Field Corn, can be planted the end of March or early In April. 
Sugar Corns cannot be planted until the ground begins to get warm. 
Frequent cultivation is necessary to have good Corn. The Adams 
and Northern Field Corn can be planted in rows 3 feet apart, the 
grains about 12 or 15 Inches apart, one Inch deep or in hills of six 
grains, three feet apart each way. The Sugar or Sweet Corns can 
be handled about the same except that such dwarf varieties as 
Golden Bantam and Mammoth White Cory can be planted rather 
closer. For succession, one can either plant several varieties 
which mature at different seasons or use one variety and plant 
every two weeks up to July. U pound will plant 100 hills, 12 to 15 
pounds an acre. It will be ready for the table in from sixty to 
seventy days from planting. 
Extra Early and Early Varieties 
(Not Sugar Corn) 
EXTRA EARLY ADAMS. — The earliest variety, and can be 
planted first of all. It bears small, thick ears, close to the ground.

than the above. Stalks grow about six feet high; ears about eight 
Inches long, with twelve to fourteen rows. For prices see colored 
pages. 
Sweet, or Sugar Corn 
For table use, the Sweet Corns are far and away head of all 
other varieties. While they cannot be planted quite as early as 
the first, or Field Corn, their quality is so superior that no garden 
should be without a good planting of early and late varieties. 
^IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM. — This handsome new variety 
is one of the most delicious of all, and generally believed to be 
richest in flavor. Extremely early, of hardy, vigo'ous growth, so 
that it can be planted quite early. The stalks grow only about 
four feet high, but bear two or three good ears five or six inches 
long, of handsome golden yellow color. In flavor quite distinct 
from the white sorts and some have called it sweet as honey. For 
prices see colored pages. 
EARLY MAMMOTH WHITE CORN.— This very popular and 
desirable variety is identical with the Red Cory in both quality 
and earliness. The color of the corn and cob, however, is white, 
and by many preferred on that accoqnt. For prices see colored 
pages. 
EARLY MINNESOTA. — One of the best and most popular of 
the older varieties, with both market and private gardeners. The

■'•‘COUNTRY GENTLEMEN. — This variety is a selection and Im- 
provement of the famous Shoe Peg, which is so highly extolled by 
all lovers of Sugar Corn. Its improvement consists of much larger 
sized ears, and producing from three to four ears to the stalk; 
it is of delicious quality and is without doubt the most delicate 
an d sweetest of all Sugar Corns; cannot be recommended too high.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. — The most popular late Sweet Corn. More extensively planted than any 
other sort, being the general favorite with market gardeners and canners for late use. If planted at the 
same time with earliest kinds, it will keep the table supplied until October. Ears are of good size, grain deep, 
tender, and sugary, remaining a long time in condition for cooking. For prices see colored pages. 
LATE MAMMOTH. — A rather late variety on account of its immense size, producing the largest ears of 
any variety. These measure up to 14 inches in length and are well filled with large, broad, white kernels, 
which are sweet, tender and delicious. Usually there are 16 to 18 rows to the ear. The stalks are very large, 
about eight feet high and productive. For prices see colored pages. 
Pop Corn 
It pays to raise Pop Corn as a general crop. The demand usually exceeds the supply. Some farmers claim 
it is as easily grown as field corn, and they receive three or four times the amount per acre for the crop. 
For main crop the White Rice will bring the best prices per pound as It is better known. Let the children 
try a patch. 
WHITE RICE. — Widely cultivated and used more than any other sort. Short ears, with long, pointed 
kernels. Very productive. For prices see colored pages. 
QUEEN’S GOLDEN. — The largest sort. Stalks grow five to six feet high, producing two to three large 
ears each. Pops perfectly white. Single kernels expand to one inch across. For prices see colored pages. 
Although frost may entirely destroy corn that is four or six inches above ground, if the heart has 
not been frozen it will rapidly grow again. Therefore do not destroy your field of early corn, even if it 
has been frosted to the surface of the ground.
