ous supply can be kept up by either planting early, medium and late varieties at one time, or else by 
making several plantings at intervals of 15 days. Any good garden 
soil will grow sweet corn and no one who appreciates best quality 
can afford to be without a small patch of sweet corn. Quantity re- 
quired : one pint to 200 hills ; about 6 quarts per acre. 
Not a true sweet corn 
but if you want an 
/Ma i extra early “roasting ear” corn that wdll put fair sized 
yiVUs I liny efirs on your table in about 00 days from planting this 
is your variety. Much surer bearer than the Adams Extra Early. 
This is one of our own introductions, makes a fair sized ear of tine 
market and table appearance. On rich or well fertilized ground 
makes 2 to 3 medium sized ears to each stalk, stalks growing 5 to 6 
feet high. Georgia Roasting Ear is for early planting only. Do not 
plant this for late corn or late in the season. Pkt., 10c; pt. (14 oz.), 
25c; qt. (28 oz.), 45c; postpaid. Not prepaid, peck (14 lbs.), $1.25. 
Fvtrsi Favli# sweet corn, but usually 
EiCirijr classed with it. Valuable as com- 
/IJa before any true sweet corn. Naturally small 
^llWi nnd unless planted in very rich soil and given good 
cultivation it is liable to prove a failure. When properly grown 
makes ears of fair size and its value is for market gardeners to 
bring in ahead of other sorts. Packet, 10c; pint (14 oz.), 25c; quart 
(28 oz.), 45c; postpaid. Not prepaid, peck (14 lbs.), $1.25. 
Similar to Adams’ Extra Early 
but ten days later, and has much 
/Ma |E{^\ larger ears. This and the Adams’ Extra Early are 
very hardy and can be planted earlier than sweet 
corns. Has small stalk and can be planted close. More valuable 
for the market than for home gardens as this, as well as the Adams’ 
Extra Early, lacks fineness of fiavor found in sweet varieties. 
Neither are they sure croppers unless given the best of cultivation 
and rich soil. Packet, 10c; pint (14 oz.), 25c; quart (28 oz.), 45c;
