The DeLue Experimental Farm 
Dept. A. Needham, Mass. 
This new corn has been before 
the public for three years and 
thoroughly tested throughout 
United States and Canada in 
comparison with all other varie- 
ties of sweet corn, and partic- 
ularly with the once popular 
Golden Bantam. It has been pronounced supe- 
rior to all others. 
The most particular attention has been paid to 
the quality, for earliness and great size would 
count for nothing without this crowning virtue. 
It is because of the extreme tenderness, com- 
bined with the exquisite rich sugary flavor that 
the Golden Giant has become the standard of 
perfection for sugar corn the world over, and 
when you consider that its idmirers report that 
it is one or two weeks earlier, and two to three 
times as large, and better in quality than its 
own parent, the Golden Bantam, you may be 
sure that it has well earned the title “The New 
Master of the Fields.” 
DeLue’s Golden Giant excels all other early 
varieties in size, productiveness, and quality, 
and all the late varieties in quality and early 
maturity. 
It is the one corn for the home or market 
gardener who wants the greatest amount of 
highest quality corn in the shortest period of 
time from the smallest piece of land. 
The Other Fellow’s Opinion 
Mr. jP. P. R. says: Boston, Mass., Apr. 27, 1917. 
> “I have had a great many years in farming and never in my ex- 
perience have I seen a corn that produces such large, well formed 
ears and a corn which was as juicy, tender, and sweet.” 
Mr. W. B. H. Robinson, 111., Sept. 1919. 
“I distributed the corn among ^veral of my customers and the 
experience from all of them was the same; that the corn ripened 
about two weeks earlier than any of the rest; that it was better than 
the Golden Bantam or any other that was raised around here.” 
Mr. Vi. H. H. Winnipeg, Canada, Dec. 3, 1919. 
“My friend, Dr. , and I found your Golden Giant Corn a 
howling success. The best corn by a long way, in every respect, 
that we ever had. There was more growth from one seed of your 
corn than from five seeds of the Golden Bantam which we bad. The 
growth was something wonderful — quite a few ears had 18 and 20 
rows.” 
Rural New Yorker. July 26, 1919. 
“Golden Giant sweet corn is a vast improvement on the popuiai 
Golden Bantam.”
