GARDEN CORN 
PLANTING- DIRECTIONS —Plant corn every two weeks for a continuous 
supply, and north of the Ohio from late April to late July. Plant corn in three 
or four foot drills, dropping a grain every eight to sixteen inches, or plant in 
hills three or four feet each way, giving six grains to the hill and thinning to 
j A three stalks. Corn should be planted about one inch deep, planted deeper in sand 
than in heavy clay; planted deeper later in the year when the soil is warm. Plow 
deeply for corn, cultivate shallow, and pick corn before it is too old. If the good¬ 
ness of new corn tempts a too early planting, do not blame the resulting failure on 
your seedsman. 
EXTRA EARLY ADAMS —Same size, type and style 
as Early Adams. Hardiest and earliest corn. It is not 
a Sugar Corn, but is grown for early use. Ears short, 
kernels very white. Like Early Adams it is hardy and 
can be planted early. Pkt., 5c; *4 lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN — Perhaps the most 
popular variety for main crop and general planting 
on a large scale. It grows to a good height; ears are 
very large, tvell filled to the tips. The sweet kernels 
are pure white, affording a ready sale. Ears are about 
8 to 9 inches long, 16 to 18 rowed. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 
10c; lb., 20c. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —Finest home garden variety, 
and in a class by itself for quality. Superior in many 
ways to other Sweet Corn. Very early, sweet and ten¬ 
der. Cobs are well filled with deep cream colored ker¬ 
nels. We cannot recommend this variety too highly 
for the home garden. It is important that the corn be 
picked about 3 to 4 days after it has taken on a yel¬ 
low hue. If picked later than this it is apt to be 
over ripe and cook hard. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN —A fine mid-season va¬ 
riety, sometimes called ‘‘Shoe Peg”, owing to the 
shape of the kernels. Cobs are very small, thickly cov¬ 
ered with white, slender kernels. Very sweet and ten¬ 
der. Very prolific and remains ready for use longer 
than any other kind. Pkt., 5c; lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
BANTAM EVERGREEN —A cross between Golden 
Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears are filled with 
! creamy yellow, tender, sweet kernels. Pkt., 5c; A lb., 
10c; lb., 20c. 
EARLY MINNESOTA —Very popular, standard ear¬ 
ly variety. Ears about 8 inches long, kernels very 
broad, sweet and tender. Pkt., 5c; *4 lb., 10c; lb., 
20c. 
POP CORN 
Pop- Corn can be grown to advantage in a commer¬ 
cial way and no farm or gadren is complete without 
a few rows of this delicious confection, for who does 
Golden Bantam n °t recall with pleasure bleak winter evenings en¬ 
livened by a dish of pop corn. 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—1 oz. to 75 ft. row; 12 lbs. per acre. 
A good garden soil will produce good Pop Corn. Select a sunny, warm 
location and plant in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart. Drop seeds every 14 inches 
and cover 1 inch deep. Cultivate or hoe often. 
WHITE RICE —A popular variety with ‘‘Cracker Jack” men. The ker- 
nels are pointed and resemble rice. It matures later than other varieties 
but yields heavily and “pops” fine. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
GOLDEN QUEEN— Yellow grain and a good “popper”. Pkt., 5c; V, 
lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
HULLESS —This is a dwarf strain, producing a heavy yield 
of short, thick ears, with pearl white kernels, which are large and tender 
when popped. Bears 2 to 5 ears to stalk. Pkt., 5c; *4 lb., 10c; lb., 20c.
