Barden’s Wonder Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
Early Saskatchewan 
THE EARLIEST WHITE SWEET CORN 
One pound for 150 hills; 12 to 16 lbs. per acre. 
We take pride in our select strains of Sweet Corn, which are from five 
to ten days earlier than the same varieties produced farther south or west. 
This means a great deal to the gardener who wishes to have his corn first 
on the market, for it is then that the best prices are obtained. Our Northern 
Grown Sweet Corn is also noted for its sweetness, being much sweeter than 
Western corn. While our prices may be a trifle higher than those charged 
by seedsmen who handle Western Corn, the extra price you will pay will be 
a most profitable investment. No matter where you live, your best assurance 
of an extra early crop of Sweet Corn of the best quality is to plant our 
carefully grown seed. Our seed will meet the requirements of the most critical 
market garden trade. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE 
THE EARLIEST YELLOW SWEET CORN 
Golden Sunshine 
This matchless Sweet Corn is a cross between Golden Bantam and Early 
Wonder, the result of which is a Bantam Sweet Corn with all the qualities 
and sweetness of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but with larger ears set 
up higher on the stalk. Ears 8 5 to 10 inches long, filled with 8 rows of broad, 
rich, golden yellow kernels. Stalk 5 to 6 feet high. Critical market and 
home gardeners and canners have long been looking for a Bantam Sweet 
Corn with these improved qualities. One of the big canning companies re¬ 
ports that Barden’s Wonder Bantam produces one-third more tonnage per 
acre than any other Bantam Corn they have ever grown, and will consider 
using no other in the future. Tests each year have proved it to be as early 
as Golden Bantam and much more vigorous and productive. Pkt., 10c; y 2 
lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.70, postpaid. By 
express, not prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.40; 25 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $14.00. 
The earliest white Sweet Corn, maturing with Golden Sunshine ; 
quality superior to that of most varieties of extra early Corn. It 
is extremely hardy; can be planted early, withstanding cold, wet 
weather to a wonderful degree. Ears of good size for so early a 
variety; kernels pure white, sweet and tender. Very productive 
for an extra early sort, usually producing two ears to the stalk. 
Highly recommend this variety for home use, and as a market 
sort it is a money maker. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 
lbs.,’60c; 5 lbs., $1.35; 10 lbs., $2.60, postpaid. By express, not 
prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.25; 25 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $13.00. 
EARLY MAYFLOWER. One of the whitest and sweetest of 
the early varieties. Much like Mammoth White Cory, but is 
sweeter and earlier, being ready for the table a few days fol¬ 
lowing Saskatchewan. Ears 6 to 8 inches in length; an excep¬ 
tionally good yielder. We recommend this variety to come in 
between Early Saskatchewan and our Improved Golden Bantam. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 18c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 
lbs., $2.40, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 15 lbs., $1.95; 
25 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
DE LUE’S GOLDEN GIANT. As good to eat as Golden Ban¬ 
tam; only 4 or 5 days later, but with ears 50 to 75 per cent 
larger. The cob contains 16 to 18 rows, which completely cover 
the entire surface. A most profitable variety for the market 
gardener. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., 
$1.35; 10 lbs., $2.55, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 15 lbs.,

extra early sort; ears very large for so early a variety. Ex¬ 
cellent quality. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 18c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 
lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 
15 lbs., $1.95; 25 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. The most popular early Sweet Corn; 
sweet, rich and delicious. In season it closely follows Early 
Mayflower. Ears 5 to 7 inches in length and compactly filled 
with kernels which, when ready for the table, are of a creamy- 
yellow color. Golden Bantam is suited for extra early and later 
plantings up to July 15th. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 
lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.30; 10 lbs., $2.50, postpaid. By express,

The earliest yellow Sw r eet Corn, maturing at the same time as our Early 
Saskatchewan, and one to two weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. More 
dwarf in habit than Bantam, with ears the same length of Bantam but 12- 
rowed instead of 8 and of equally good color and quality. Especially desir¬ 
able for its extreme earliness, sweetness and richness of flavor. Should be 
planted in every home garden. Our Northern grown seed assures the market 
gardener of an extremely early crop to be sold at high prices. Pkt., 10c; 
y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.70, postpaid. 
By express, not prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.40; 25 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $14.00. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam 
GOLDEN EVERGREEN. The best main crop variety, the re¬ 
sult of a cross between Stoweli’s Evergreen and Golden Bantam, 
possessing all the splendid qualities of both of these popular 
varieties and better than either. It is the finest and sweetest 
corn ever introduced. The ears are as large as Stoweli’s Ever¬ 
green and is of true Evergreen habit, remaining equally as long 
a time in good cooking condition. It is of the same color as 
Golden Bantam, and has all the delicious qualities of that 
variety, with an added sweetness and superior flavor. About 5 
days later than De Lue’s Golden Giant, or half way between 
Golden Bantam and Stowell's Evergreen. For the home garden 
and fancy market trade this corn has no equal. Pkt., 10c; ' x / 2 
lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.30; 10 lbs., $2.50, post¬ 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.10; 25 lbs., $3.25; 100 
lbs., $12.00. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. The standard main crop variety 
in all sections. Michigan grown Stoweli’s Evergreen is recog¬ 
nized everywhere as the best type of its class. Our strain is 
large eared, hardy, productive, sweet and tender, and remains a 
long time in cooking condition. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 18c; lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. By express, 
not prepaid, 15 lbs., $1.95; 25 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. The sweetest of all white varie¬ 
ties. Due to the irregular arrangement of the kernels on the 
cob, it is an excellent sort to grow where worms bother the 
ears, for instead of working a row into the center of the ear, 
the worms have no row to follow and work around the end of 
the cob. Very prolific, rarely producing less than three ears to 
the stalk. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length and grain is 
very deep. Has delicious flavor all its own. A week later than 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 
60c; 5 lbs., $1.35; 10 lbs., $2.55, postpaid. By express, not 
prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.10; 25 lbs., $3.40; 100 lbs., $12.50.
