SWEET CORN 
Cultivation of Sweet Corn. — Plant in a rich, warm soil, making the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer earlier sorts and 
4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. The hills are to be 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows. Seed of the sweet varieties is liable 
to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet, if we have an early warm period in spring it often pays to take some risks, 
as the plants, when once up, will often escape any injury from belated frosts, but the middle of May is quite early enough 
to plant for the seasonable crops. For a succession plant every two weeks to July 15th. 
One quart of seed will plant two hundred hills, eight to ten quarts to an acre in hills. 
Burpee’s Golden Bantam. — An extremely early variety of a rich golden 
colour and delicious flavour. It is of excellent quality. No home 
garden is complete without this sort. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .25 per pt. ; .40 per qt. ; 2.50 per pk. 
Peep o’ Day. — This corn is at least ten days earlier than any other sort, 
bearing ears of the finest quality and structure, averaging 6 inches in 
length, of perfect form. The stalks are very small and can be grown 
very close together. This variety has been forced under glass with great 
success. 
Price, .10 per pkt.; .20 per pt.; .35 per qt.; 2.00 per pk. 
Quincy Market. — An early corn of a very superior quality, a valuable 
asset to every garden, as the ear is very large and full. It is a twelve- 
rowed variety. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .20 per pt. ; .35 per qt. ; 2.00 per pk. 
Early Crosby. — This old variety is still very popular and continues to 
satisfy year after year, and indeed we might say that it is quite unrivalled 
when the ripened ears arc compared. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .15 per pt. ; .25 per qt. ; 1.50 per pk. 
Early Red Cory. — One of the best extra early varieties. The ears are of 
good size and are eight rowed. The cob is red. Very popular. 
Price, .10 per pkt.; .15 per pint; .25 per qt.; 1.50 per pk. 
Early White Cory. — Similar to the Red Cory, but with white kernels. 
Price, .10 per pkt.; .15 per pt.; .25 per qt.; 1.50 per pk.

ears twice the size. This is a corn in great demand. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .15 per pt. ; .25 per qt. ; 1.50 per pk. 
Black Mexican. — Said to be the sweetest corn in cultivation. When ripe 
on the cob this corn is a deep black, but acclaims almost a pure white 
when ready for the table. It is a medium early sort.
