CORN—SWEET OR SUGAR—Delicious Roasting Ears for Two Months 
1 Lb. for 100 Hills, 13 Lbs. per Acre— Sweet com should not be planted more than iVi inches deep 
M ost of us make a single planting of sweet corn; consequently, we 
have those delicious ears for just a few days a year. You can spread 
this season over two months by planting different varieties at the 
same time maturing at different seasons; or by planting same varieties if 
you have a choice, a week or ten days between each planting. In the little 
town garden, a short row or maybe two or three dozen hills planted as early 
in May as possible, then two weeks later another row between potato rows 
and continue this for several plantings. You will be surprised at the increased 
value of this little garden. On the farm, plant a good acreage, enough to 
supply the house every day and a sufficient quantity for canning and drying.

.\n outstanding new variety of yellow corn, of 
exceptional merit. It was originated at the North 
Dakota Agricultural College. Tlie ears are big¬ 
ger than those of Golden Bantam, are 16 rowed, 
and of deliciously rich flavor, light yellow in color. 
Sunshine is ready for use 6 to 10 days earlier 
than Bantam. The stalks are quite dwarf, with 
the ears set only 2 to 3 feet from the ground, 
usually 2 ears to the stalk. Those who have 
tried it are highly enthusiastic, and say it is 
real sweet corn. 
It is the sweetest and the nicest corn I know 
of; good yielder, and exceptionally good corn for 
the market gardener. Prices: !4 pt., 15c;

Golden Bantam 
Fifty per cent of the sweet corn planted in the 
United States is of the Golden Bantam variety. 
It is one of the earliest and sweetest, yielding 
very heavily, producing good sized ears of the 
most excellent quality. On account of the hardi¬ 
ness of this variety it allows early planting, 
consequently it reaches the roasting ear stage 
very early. You can sow this as early as any 
variety of field corn. The stalks grow only about 
4 to 5 feet high and bear generally two good 
ears to the stalk. When ready for use the kernels 
are rich golden yellow color—a mighty satisfying 
sweet corn. Prices: Ys pt., 10c; 1 lb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 25 lbs., $3.25; 
50 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $11.00.

the Evergreen. Being a heavy yielder and of

variety for the market gardener. Prices: Vs pt.,
