SWEET CORN 
Everbearing 
If You Want Delicious Corn on Your Table the Fourth of July Plant 
This Extremely Hardy, Early Maturing, Large Eared Sort 
We have produced in this early corn a variety which stands alone as 
a money maker. It is in the same class as the Earliest of All Sugar 
Corns, considerably larger and, best of all, contains a sweetness equal to 
most true sugar varieties. It has the power of germination under con¬ 
ditions where all others have failed and can safely be planted much 
earlier than any true sugar cofcn on account of its extreme hardiness. 
It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sand or heavy clay. 
It is as large as Stowell’s Evergreen. The fodder grows 6 feet high; 
no small item to a gardener; and, as a proof of its quality and sweetness, 
we have a continuous call for “Everbearing” from our customers year 
after year. The ears are of good size and covered with kernels clear 
to the end of the cob. Each stalk will produce one to two well developed 
ears. Now, if these are picked when mature, one or two and even four 
more ears will set and develop on the same stalk during the next two 
to four weeks. Pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lb. 65c, postpaid. 
Improved Adams Early 
A Popular Sort for Roasting Ears

particularly in the South. The ears are about 8 inches long, 12 to 14-

dented at the outer end. The stalks are about G feet high. Can be 
planted earlier than any Sweet Corn. Pkt. 6c; y 2 lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 2 lb. 45c,

Handsome

satisfactory yielder; ears of large size; kernels very broad and especially 
sweet, rich, white and tender. Not only is it valuable for family use, 
but for early market and shipping purposes it is also in the lead. And 
we can highly recommend it for all general purposes. Pkt. 8c: % lb 20c-

New Golden Sunshine 
The 12 Rowed Golden Bantam. Early—Sweet—Prolific 
Good Size 
This new Sweet Corn is a wonderful improvement over 
the popular Golden Bantam, as it is larger, sweeter, has 
12 rows instead of 8 and is from 10 days to two weeks 
earlier. The flavor leaves nothing to be desired, as it 
is rich and sweet and never becomes tough and woody. 
There is a great demand for this variety and we were 
entirely sold out early last year, so order early if you 
desire one of the finest Sweet Corns you ever tasted 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 17c; lb. 30c; 2 lb. 55c, postpaid. 
Black Mexican 
Delicious Sweetness. Cooks Clear White 
This corn, when very young, cooks remarkably white, 
but the ripe grain is bluish black. For home use we con¬ 
sider it the best second early sort where tenderness and 
sweetness are the qualities most desired. It does specially 
well as a second early variety in the South. The stalks 
are about 6% feet high. The ears are about 8 inches 
long and are usually eight rowed. Pkt. 8c; y. lb. 17c: 
lb. 30c; 2 lb. 55c, postpaid. 
New Early Sunrise 
Absolutely the Earliest Good Sweet Corn. 
The beauty and quality of this remarkable 
variety give it prominence over all others 
for family, market, canning, shipping, and, 
in fact, all purposes. Ears large, grains of 
great depth, exceedingly tender and sweet. 
Our seed stock is carefully grown and se¬ 
lected with the sole object of keeping it
