Why Twenty Kinds of 
Sweet Corn? 
According to records of the Government Testing 
Grounds at Washington, there are available for 
the planter’s choice, over one hundred distinct 
varieties of Sweet Corn. Most trade catalogues 
offer a score or more. What holds good in Sweet 
Corn, is true of nearly every important class of 
vegetable. It all is very bewildering. 
We have been in the seed business for several 
years now without saying much about it. How- 
ever, we believe we have cut the Gordian knot, 
and have sifted down the intricate list of varieties 
until we offer what we believe to be the best for the 
home garden. 
The Elliott Seed Catalogue 
Simplifies Garden Planning 
We have eliminated the bewildering element in 
the choice of varieties. Take Sweet Corn for in- 
stance: — A good early and a good late, is about all 
required for the home garden, since repeated plant- 
ings of an early kind will make surer of a perfect 
succession of Corn that is just right, than could 
ever be obtained by planting a multitude of mid- 
season varieties. For this reason, we offer only 
Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman, and the 
only reason why we offer the latter is, that the ears 
of Golden Bantam are inclined to run very small 
from late planting. 
Elliott’s service in Flower Seeds, brings to your 
door the choicest strains the world affords. We go 
to California for some, to Europe for others, but 
in each instance, we secure only that which we know 
will maintain our reputation that has helped us 
to the greatest mail order bulb business in the world. 
By ail means, write for our seed catalogue to-day — you will find 
it a valuable aid in the planning of your next garden for beauty 
and utility.
