HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
SWEET CORN— LATE WHITE KINDS 
TN SECTIONS where frosts are apt to occur as iate as 
'*■ June ist and first visits are recorded as early as 
middle of September, planting of late sorts must be 
considered a risk. However, where one hundred days of 
good growing weather can be counted on and where space 
permits, home gardeners will do well to put in a few rows 
of both White Evergreen and Country Gentleman. 
White Evergreen is by far the most thoroughbred strain 
of Stowell’s Evergreen in cultivation to-day. (See ear 
to left.) With ears of great size (ten to twelve rows 
on cobs ten inches long) it combines a truly remarkable 
quality if ears are picked at the right stage. The aver- 
age time for ears to reach full size is one hundred days. 
A week later Country Gentleman bears its zig-zag rowed 
ears (see two above) which grow about ten inches long. 
But they are considered the best flavored by those com- 
petent to judge, in spite of the fact that Country 
Gentleman is one of the oldest varieties in cultivation.
