GOLD and GOLDEN CROSS.

variety; cobs 6 J /2 to 7 inches with 8 to 
10 rows of good flavored, white kernels. 
Ready for market in 7? days. Pkt., 10 c; 
J4 lb., 15c; lb., 30c. 
Culture. Do not plant Corn in cold ground as the 
seed is liable to rot. About the middle of May, plant 
corn in hills 3 to 4 feet each way, dropping 8 to 
10 seeds to a hill later thinning to 3 stalks or plant 
in 3 or 4 foot rows, dropping 3 or 4 seeds to the 
foot, later thinning to stand 1 foot apart in the rows. 
Seed should be covered 14 inch on heavy soil to 1 
1 inch on light, sandy soil. One pound will plant 
100 hills or 200 feet of row and 7 to 10 pounds plant 
an acre. Plant every two weeks up to July 15th for 
a continuous supply. 
Sweet Corn 
Tendergold. A very fine F. 1 . hybrid of outstanding quality intro¬ 
duced by us after years of research. Four days earlier than 
Golden Bantam and generally twice as productive, the attractive 
8 -inch 12-rowed ears command a premium on the market. For 
tenderness and succulence we have never seen its equal and 
it holds this fine quality 2 to 3 days longer than other corns. 
Produces heavy crops in areas where Golden Bantam succumbs 
to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s Disease). Compares favorably with 
the Evergreens in canning cost. Market gardners report custom¬ 
ers insisting on this Con after one trial. Pkt., 10 c; lb., 25c; 
lb., 50c. 
Golden Cross. This remarkable new F. 1. hybrid represents the 
greatest advance in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was intro¬ 
duced. It is a bright yellow, 12 -rowed corn with 8 -inch ears, 
borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully equal to 
Golden Bantam in every way, matures six days later and is two 
to three times as productive. In addition this corn is very resistant 
to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s Disease which often 
causes failure with other early yellow sweet corns. We cannot 
recommend this corn too highly for canners and table use. 
Pkt., 10 c; !/£ lb., 25c; lb., 50c. 
LEONARD’S GOLDEN HUMMER. The largest and earliest of 
the Yellow Sweet Corns and one of the best for market gardeners 
as well as home gardeners. Ears 6 Y 2 to 7 inches, 12-rowed, kernel 
golden yellow, medium deep, broad and of excellent flavor. 
Ready for the table in 60 days. Pkt., 10 c; Vi lb., 15c; lb., 30c. 
LEONARD’S EARLY. Ready for the market in 60 days. The 
stalks are short and stocky usually producing 2 large, handsome, 
12 rowed ears on each stalk. The 
corn is a beautiful waxy white, of a 
wonderful sweet flavor and is ready 
for market so much ahead of the 
other early varieties that it brings a 
high price on the market. We 
strongly recommend this variety of 
Sweet Corn. Pkt., 10 c; 34 lb., 15c; 
lb., 30c. 
Top Cross Sunshine. Highly re¬ 
sistant to Stewart’s Disease. Ready 
for market in 72 days. Pkt., 10 c; 
% lb., 25c; lb., 50c. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. This 
is a cross of Golden Bantam and 
Early Wonder, an 8 -rowed sweet 
corn and has the sweetness and the 
color of the old reliable Golden 
Bantam and all the toothsome 
qualities of looks and taste but 
with this welcome improvement 
that the ears are larger, 8 to 10 
inches long and set up higher on a 
more sturdy stalk, the stalk being 
from 5 to 6 feet. Ready for the 
market in 76 days. Pkt., 10c; J4 lb., 
15c; lb., 30c. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow. A re¬ 
markable yellow sweet corn of much 
merit. While the stalks grow 6 
feet or more in height and the 10 
to 14-rowed ears are 7 to 8 inches 
in length, this variety matures only 
3 days later than Golden Bantam. 
The kernels are broad, deep, and 
of excellent quality. Pkt., 10 c; % 
lb., 15c; lb., 30c. 
De Lue’s Golden Giant. A second 
early variety producing ears 7 to 8 
inches long, 14-rowed. Kernels 
golden yellow, medium in size and 
of fair quality. Ready for market in
