Golden Bantam. 
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 be- 
gins 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 ma- 
ture at different seasons or use one variety and planted every 
two weeks up to July. A pint will plant 200 hills, six to 
eight quarts an acre. It will be ready for the table in from 
sixty to seventy days from planting. 
Extra Early and Early Varieties 
(Not Sugar Com.) 
EXTRA EAkLY 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. Fk., $1.50; bu., $5.50. 
EARLY ADAMS or BURLINGTON. — A little later and larg- 
er than the above. Stalks grow about six feet high; ears 
about eight inches long, with twelve to fourteen rows Pk.. 
$1.25; bu., $5.00. 
EABLV 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 valuable sort for very late crop, when 
too late to plant other varieties, as it yields fairly well as a 
field crop. Fk., $1.25; bu., $5.00. 
Sweet, or Sugar Corn 
For table use. the Sweet Corns are far and away ahead of 
all other varieties. While they cannot be planted quite as 
early as the first, or Field Corns, 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 va- 
riety is one of the most delicious of all, and generally be- 
lieved to be richest in flavor. Extremely early, of hardy, vig- 
orous 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. 4 cits., $1.75; pk. $3.40; bu. $12. 
EARLY MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. — This very popular 
and desirable variety is identical with the Red Cory in both 
quality and earliness. The color of the corn and cob, how- 
ever, is white, and by many preferred on that account. 
4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00.
