Extra Early Varieties 
134— GOLDEN BANTAM (Sugar)—The sweetest and most delicious extra early corn for the 
home garden. Extremely early and very productive. The stalks grow only 5 feet in height 
and, where space is limited, the hills can be as close as 2% feet apart. Each stalk bears 
2 or 3 well-filled ears, 6 to 7 inches in length. The kernels are of a beautiful yellow color, 
very milky, tender and sweet. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c 
135— EXTRA EARLY ADAMS (Sweet)—Owing to its extreme earliness it is used for a first 
early table corn in the South. The stalks are about 4 feet high, with small tassel, very few 
leaves, and without suckers. The ears are short, very full, 12 or 14-rowed, often nearly as 
thick as they are long and well covered with coarse husks. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c 
132— WHIPPELL’S EARLY YELLOW (Sugar)—An extra early yellow Sugar Corn. Larger and 
earlier than Golden Bantam. Stalks grow 5 to 6 feet, and many produce two large ears. 
Kernels bright yellow, tender, sweet, and finest quality. Whippell’s Early Yellow Sugar Corn 
is ready for the table in about seven weeks. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c 
133— GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Sugar)—Also an early variety of the Golden Bantam type, growing 
from 5 to 5% feet high and producing ears 7 to 8 inches long, with sweet, luscious yellow 
grains; matures 3 to 4 days later than Golden Bantam. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c 
Medium Early Varieties 
136— ADAMS EARLY LARGE (Sweet)—One of our leading varieties. Matures about 2 weeks 
later than the Extra Early Adams, but ears are larger and handsomer. The stalks are vigor¬ 
ous, averaging 7 feet in height, and well bladed. This and the Adams Extra Early are very 
hardy and can be planted earlier than sweet corns. 
, Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c 
137— TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (Sweet)—For a second early, to follow Early Adams, this is 
unquestionably one of the best; or for planting late to mature quickly it is equally valuable. 
It is a white corn, with good depth of grain, tender and sweet, and a most desirable size 
for roasting ears. Besides being a fine garden corn, it is a splendid field corn to follow 
potatoes and other early crops. The ears are large and well filled. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c 
Main Crop Varieties 
138— STOWELL’S EVERGREEN (Sugar)—The standard main crop variety, much used for the 
home garden, market, and canning. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, 
remaining a long time in condition suitable for boiling. The ears are about 10 to 12 inches 
long, 14 to 20-rowed, with very white grain. The stalks are about 7% feet high. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c 
One of our market gardener customers produced three crops 
of roasting ears on the same ground this past season with 
this wonderful corn. Average height of stalk about 6 feet, 
the ear is thick, well grained to the end of the cob, rows 
of grain straight and uniform. When cut green for market 
the ears average from 12 to 14 inches in length, sell quicker 
and command a much better price than corns of the Adams 
type. It is very productive, producing two and often three 
good ears to the stalk. Being hardy, can be planted at same 
time as Adams Early, as it will stand much cold and wet 
weather. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c 
Large Adams 
140— COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Sugar)—One of the best 
known of the mid-season varieties. It is the old shoe-peg 
type of kernel, pure white, very sweet and tender. It is a 
good yielder, producing 2 to 3 good-sized ears to the stalk. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c 
141— EARLY SURPRISE—A wonderful roasting ear corn, es¬ 
pecially bred for market gardeners’ use; when planted at the 
same time as Large Adams it is ready for use just when 
the Large Adams is giving out; it is the best corn to use 
for succession plantings all through the season. In eating, 
this corn is slightly sweet, resembling sugar corn in taste. 
GARDEN AND SWEET CORN 
CULTURE —The grains of sweet corn are shriveled and rather tender and cannot be planted quite as early 
as field varieties. Leaves on trees should be well out and the ground warm before planting. Make hills 
to 3 feet apart each way, dropping 5 or 6 grains in each hill, thinning out afterward to 2 or 3 stalks to the 
hill. A continuous supply can be kept up by planting early, medium and late varieties at one time, or by 
making several plantings at intervals of 15 days. Seed required: One pound to 200 hills, about 14 pounds 
Cl peck) per acre. _
