SWEET CORN— EARLY YELLOW KINDS 
T HE remarkable advance in popular favor made by 
the yellow-grained sorts of sugar corn during the past 
decade is one of the most pleasing proofs that, as a nation, 
we are beginning to appreciate true quality in vegetables. 
The flavor of pedigreed yellow sorts is undeniably better 
than that of the white kinds of similar season. 
After fifteen years of most exhausting tests under 
widely varying conditions of soil and climate, the nation’s 
critics acclaim Golden Bantam as the standard early yel- 
low sort, of quality by which other kinds should be judged. 
A typical ear is dlustrated above. Golden Sugar, a new- 
comer of slightly later maturity (eighty-five days), has a 
little larger ears, but compares very favorably in flavor 
with Golden Bantam. Seymour s Sweet Orange is ready 
in about ninety days after planting. Experts in some 
sections prefer it to Golden Bantam. It is particularly 
dependable in cool northern sections.
