SWEET CORN 
Varieties Listed In Order of Earllness. 
CULTURE. Have your soil well prepared but do not 
plant sweet corn until the ground is warmed up thor¬ 
oughly. Then the early varieties may be planted in 
hills 30 inches apart both ways while the later varieties 
should be planted 3 to 31^ feet both ways. Plant 5 or 
6 kernels to the hill from 1 to 2 inches deep. Cultivate 
to keep free from weeds, and when corn is well started 
thin to 4 stalks to the hill. 
Golden Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
Golden Gem^ 
This is the earliest yellow sweet corn 
ever introduced. The stocks are very 
short and the ears come close to the 
ground; are small but of very good 
quality. 
Spanish Gold^ 
This is also one of the earliest yellow 
sweet corns. It is a few days later but 
considerably larger both in stock and 
ears than Golden Gem. 
Early Dow^ 
Early Dow is the earliest white sweet 
corn on the market; about two to three 
weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This White Sweet Corn is much in de¬ 
mand until the yellow varieties become 
plentiful. 
Kingscrost Golden Bantam^ 
A very early eight-rowed golden Sweet 
Corn, which has taken years of patient 
study and cross breeding to develop. It 
has a large, attractive ear, is very early 
and matures uniformly. 
Golden Sunshines 
In this new corn of a rich golden color 
we And a fine sweet variety maturing a 
week or ten days earlier than Golden 
Bantam. This is one of the earliest of 
all the yellpw or “Golden Corns.” The 
ears are of equal size with Bantam but 
12-rowed instead of 8. 
Gould’s Early Golden Giants 
Gould’s Golden Giant excels all other 
early yellow varieties in size produc¬ 
tiveness and quality, and all of the late 
varieties in quality and early maturity. 
Because of the extreme tenderness, com¬ 
bined with the rich exquisite sugary 
flavor, the Golden Giant has become the 
stanaard of porfoction for sugar corn. 
GoMei Giant Eferfrcea 
Golden Bantam* 
Recognized by most every one as the 
sweetest corn grown. It produces a fair 
sized ear of beautiful golden yellow ker¬ 
nels. May_ be planted at intervals of two 
weeks until July 1st. Is very hardy and 
productive. The plant is only 4 to 5 feet 
high and it grows so compactly that it 
may And a place in even the smallest 
garden. 
Black Mexican 
This sweet corn is the sweetest of all 
and is noted for its delicious flavor and 
flne grain qualities. When in condition 
for table, this corn cooks clear white, but 
the ripe grain is bluish-black. Consider 
it a second-early variety. 
Early Evergreen 
Although called Early Evergreen it is 
not real early, but rather should be 
classed as a late sweet corn. It is, how¬ 
ever. the earliest of the late varieties. 
It produces large white ears of extra flne 
quality, which mature about 10 to 15 days 
ahead of Stowell’s Bate Evergreen. We 
recommend it very highly for both home 
and market gardens. 
Corn Is postpaid only In packets. In 
half pound lots or more, add postage at 
the Parcel Post rates given on page 2.

Golden Giant Evergreen* 
A large yellow Sweet Corn obtained by crossing Golden 
Bantam with Stowell’s Evergreen. The ears are 8 to 9 
inches long and contain 12 to 14 rows of beautiful yel¬ 
low kernels. The flavor is very much like Golden Ban¬ 
tam. Matures about two weeks later. 
Country Gentleman 
A great favorite for the home garden. It does not grow 
very large but the white kernels being very deep and 
packed so tightly together that the food value from one 
ear is almost as great as that on larger ears. The flavor 
is delicious. 
Stowell’s Late Evergreen 
The best known and most popular late variety. Its 
large ears with long deep white kernels of a Vich sugary 
flavor cannot be surpassed. 
Fertilizer for Sweet Corn 
Sweet Corn will develop and mature much faster if given 
a good application of commercial fertilizer either at 
planting time or when making first cultivating. We 
recommend three to five hundred pounds of 4-16-4 per 
acre. 
POP CORN 
CULTURE. Sow in rows 3 feet apart, 2 to 3 inches 
deep, as soon as danger of frost is over at the rate of 4 
to 6 pounds to the acre, or 1 oz. to 40-foot row. Thin 
plants to 10 to 12 Inches in the row. Care given in 
curing determines the popping qualities. 
Gould’s South Americfin 
This variety has become very popular. The kernels are 
nearly round and deep orange in color. When popped 
the kernels are nearly twice the size of other corn and 
are of a creamy yellow color. Popped kernel has no 
hard center. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet high and pro¬ 
duce 2 to 3 large ears on each stalk. 
White Rice 
This is the most popular of the pop corn family. The 
kernels are white and pointed, popping to a pure snow 
white. 
Japanese Dwarf Rice 
Very tender and almost hulless. Ears are short and 
chunky. Although the kernels are very small they pop 
to large size, being very tender and brittle. 
CHIVES 
Are hardy perennial plants of the onion type. The tops 
are used for flavoring. Quicker results are obtained by 
setting out plants than by seeding as seedlings will not 
do much the first year, while the sets or plants will 
multiply very rapidly. 
WITLOOF CHICORY 
Used as a winter salad. May be used as a Cos lettuce, 
and is delicious when served with French dressing. 
The plants form long parsnip-shaped roots that are lifted 
in the fall, trimmed of leaves, and stored in soil In a 
cool place until wanted for forcing.
