This new sweet corn was first offered to the 
public in 1930. Reports from various sections 
throughout the country are very enthusiastic in 
its praise. After selecting and inbreeding the fami¬ 
liar Golden Bantam sweet corn for many years, the 
variety "Abundance” was produced. It is fully 
twice as productive as its parent, bearing 14-16 
rows of kernels to each ear. The kernels are un¬ 
usually large, and cobs are small. It is an early 
variety, and can be grown successfully where other 
varieties fail. 25c packet; 75c per pound; 10 pound 
lots @ 5 0c per pound; 2 5 pounds @ 40c; 5 0 
pounds @ 3 5 c. Prepaid to third zone.

oon centers. Blooms five to six inches across.

CALIFORNIA POPPY - SCARLET BEAUTY— 
Very effective for borders and mass effect. 
Blooms most of the summer. A bed of these is 
more effective and lasting than a bed of 
tulips. 2 5c per pkt. 
A couple of years ago I tried some of your 
Abundance sweet corn. I feel that it is a great 
strain of yellow sweet corn. It is very early for 
a large corn and free from smut which is very bad 
around here. G. F. T-, Lowell, Mass.

Frilled petals giving a semi-double appearance.
