GORN—Sweet or Table Varieties 
“GOLDEN BANTAM” 
Earliest and Best of All Extreme-Earlies—Most Surpassingly Delicious in Flavor—Most Famous Corn Grown 
Golden Bantam—Is becoming each year more firmly fixed in popular favor, because of its extremely early 
'character, vigorous growth and surpassing delicious flavor. 
Although the dry grain is entirely free from any flinty glaze, it is exceptionally hard and firm, hence can 
be planted earlier than any other true sweet corn. The stalks are dwarf and sturdy in habit, growing to a 
height ef four feet; they bear two and three good ears, which are set well above the ground. The ears, five to 
seven inches an length, have eight rows of broad yellow grains, extending to the extreme rounded tip. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid 
GOLDEN CREAM 
This sweet corn is of California origin and the result of crossing the Golden 
Bantam on the Country Gentleman. The Golden Cream resembles the Country Gentle¬ 
man in appearance, having the same irregular rows and has also the deep-pointed 
kernel and the slender cob of that variety, otherwise it is entirely distinct, being of 
dwarf habit in growth, having an ear about the length of the Golden Bantam, and 
differs from the Country Gentleman in time of maturity, being very early.

HOWLING MOB 
For the earliest supply of fine, large, handsome ears, having the true sweet or 
sugary flavor, we feel that we cannot recommend the Howling Mob too strongly, 
either for home use or to the market gardener having a trade for quality in garden 
products. Per pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 
Stowell’s Evergreen—This has long been the leading main-crop variety for home 
use, market and canning. Our stock is carefully selected, and can be depended upon 
to produce fine large ears of superior quality. The grains of good size, are long and 
slender—entirely free from glaze or flintiness. Per pkt. 10c, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1, postpaid 
BLACK MEXICAN 
Black Mexican—A medium-early variety, growing about six feet in height, ears 
eight inches long, well filled with eight rows of large rather flat grains, which are 
a deep bluish purple of superlatively sweet flavor. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
Country Gentleman—Has a small white cob densely covered with irregular rows 
of deep, splendid white grains of delicious flavor. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length. 
The stalks grow about 6 feet high and average three or four ears each.

PORTLAND MARKET 
An Oregon introduction, a very early, large eared sweet corn and very produc¬ 
tive. Its large well-filled ears together with its plump, sweet grains of purest white, 
make it a most profitable home or market variety. Very popular with our market 
gardeners. Pkt. 10c, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid 
OREGON EVERGREEN 
The flavor and sweetness have not been excelled and the extreme whiteness of the 
large ears makes it very beautiful and valuable for canning. It is large and the stalks 
produce more ears than any other variety and have a very heavy husk over the grains, 
protecting them from insects and keeping the ear fresh a long time after cutting.

POP CORN 
Black Beauty—We believe this is not only the earliest maturing variety in cul¬ 
tivation but it is ready for popping earlier than any other sort. It pops very large 
and exceptionally white. The kernels are black but this color is not noticeable after 
popping, when this sort is the largest and most tender of all. The ears are about six 
inches long, twelve rowed. The kernels are smooth, shallow and are nearly square. 
Per pkt. 10c 
White Rice—A very handsome and prolific white variety. The ears are five to 
seven inches long. The kernels are long, pointed and somewhat resemble rice. This 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN excellent rather late maturing variety yields heavily and is considered the best pop 
corn for parching. Per pkt. 10c
