Stowell’s Evergreen 
Garden Corn 
The early Garden Corns, such as the Adams and Early Northern 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 cither plant several varieties which mature at different seasons or use one 
variety and plant every two weeks up to July. % 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. Being a dwarf variety, it can be 
planted closer than the others. Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 15 lbs., $2.75. 
EARLY ADAMS or BURLINGTON. A little later and larger than the above. 
Stalks grow about six* feet high; ears about eight inches long, with twelve to 
fourteen rows. Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; i5 lbs., $2.75. 
EARLY NORTHERN FIELD. — Matures a little later than Early Adams, but 
produces much larger ears, 14 to 16 straight rows. It is not as early as some 
of the early Sugar Corns, but produces much larger ears, which fill barrels 
quickly ;. hence, usually a profitable crop for market gardeners. Grains white and 
smooth; stalks eight to nine feet high, with a good many leaves. This is a vain 
able sort for very late crop, when too late to plant other varieties, as it yields 
fairly well as a field crop. Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 15 lbs., $2.75. 
Sweet, or Sugar Corn 
For tabic use, the Sweet Corns arc far and away ahead 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, vigorous 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. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 
lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
EARLY MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. — This very popular and desirable vari- 
ety 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 account. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
EARLY MINNESOTA. — One of the best and most popular of the older vari- 
eties, with both market and private gardeners. The stalks are short and bear 
two long ears each, having eight rows of very sweet and tender kernels, which 
shrink but little in drying. Kernels very broad, sweet and tender. Crop failed. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. — This variety is a skeleton and improvement 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 and sweetest of all Sugar Coins ; cannot be recommended too highly. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
EARLY EVERGREEN. — This variety is earlier than Stowcll’s Evergreen and 
is just as good. The ears are seven to eight inches long, with fourteen to twenty 
more or less irregular rows, with very deep grain, which is of the very best 
quality. Plants six to seven feet high. A standard main crop variety for home 
and market gardens. Pkt., 10c; lb. ,30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
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 ear- 
liest 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. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
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. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 15 lbs., $3.85. 
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 lias 
been frosted to the surface of the ground.
