JEROME B. RICE SEED COMPANY, CAMBRIDGE, N. Y. 
CORN, SWEET OR SUGAR 
Culture .— Corn requires a good soil and a warm situation. Commence for first early by planting the early varieties 
about May 1, and if a continuous supply is wanted all summer, make plantings about two weeks apart from May 1 
until the last of July, first planting early varieties, then later ones. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, and make the hills 
about the same distance apart in the rows. Five kernels in a hill are plenty. Cover about 1 inch deep for early, and 
a little deeper for late. Thin to three plants in a hill. 
One quart will plant 200 hills; 1 peck will plant 1 acre in hills 
SWEET CORNS OF SPECIAL MERIT 
NEW 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE 
An Earlier Golden Bantam 
In this new corn we have 
a fine, sweet variety coming 
into market a full ten days 
earlier than Golden Bantam 
and the earliest of all the 
yellow, or “Golden” corns. 
The ears are of equal size 
with the Bantam but 12 
rowed instead of 8 and of 
equally good color. 
FOUR VERY DESIRABLE VARIETIES 
Early Market, or 60=day Make Good. The earliest white sweet corn and a most desirable sort for the home 
garden as well as a profitable one for the market grower. Stalks grow but 33^ feet in height with ears close to 
the ground; ears 6 to 7 inches in length containing 12 to 14 rows of white, sweet grain. Is also known as Port¬ 
land Early Market. 
Mammoth Early White Cory. One of the very best, large eared, extra early varieties for market and home garden. 
Stalks about 4 feet high, generally producing two large, finely shaped ears which are fit for use earlier than 
most any sort; ears are 12 rowed, 7 to 8 inches long. 
Golden Bantam. The standard quality sweet corn and one of the best for the home garden; fairly early in season 
and of rather dwarf growth; ears 6 to 8 inches long with 8 rows of golden yellow grain. 
Whipple’s Early. A splendid new early variety with the deep grain of the Evergreen type. While maturing 5 
days earlier than Early Crosby, it produces an ear nearly as large as Evergreen; ears rather blocky in form, 16 to 
18 rowed and well filled to the end with pearly white grain of exceptional quality. 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
Adams’ Extra Early. Not a sugar corn but largely 
grown for early use, especially in the South, where the 
hard, thick husks prevent the entrance of the corn 
worm. Our strain is superior in earliness, size of ear 
and dwarf habit to any known stock. 
Early Mayflower. A selection from, and quite identical 
with, our Mammoth Early White Cory; popular in 
New England. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow. This excellent, new early 
yellow sweet corn might be termed an improved 
Golden Bantam. Not only is it as early as the Ban¬ 
tam, but the stalks grow taller and the 14-rowed ears 
average 2 inches longer. The quality is of the best. 
SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 
Crosby. An old, popular, second early variety; ears 
7 inches long, 12 rowed; grain white and very sweet. 
Golden Cream. On the order of Golden Bantam, 
though somewhat later, but the golden colored grain 
is smaller, deeper and of zigzag formation. 
Golden Giant. An excellent new yellow sweet corn, 
being a cross between Golden Bantam and Howling 
Mob, having the large ear of the latter with the sweet 
quality of the former. 
Howling Mob. One of the best second early, large¬ 
eared sorts with white ears 10 inches long, 16 rowed; 
very productive and of excellent quality. 
Kendel’s Giant. A large-eared, second early sort on 
the order of Howling Mob, but while a trifle earlier, 
has a shorter, 12-rowed ear. 
Minnesota. An old standard popular sort. Ears 8 
inches long, 8 rowed; very sweet and tender. 
MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES 
Adams’ Early. Not a sugar corn; similar to Adams’ 
Extra Early, but two weeks later; ears 8 in., 12 rowed. 
Bantam Evergreen. A cross between Golden Bantam 
and Stowell’s Evergreen and a most excellent sort, 
with large 8 inch, golden-yellow ears, 12 to 14 rowed; 
matures with Early Evergreen; quality the best. 
Black Mexican. One of the oldest and sweetest 
varieties; ears 8 inches long, 8 rowed. 
Mammoth Early. A large eared second early sort; ears 
9 inches long, 14-rowed; sweet and tender. 
Rice’s Early Evergreen. A valuable sort, maturing 
nearly a week earlier than Stowell’s. Ears nearly as 
large, 8 inches long, 14 to 16 rowed; very productive 
and of high quality.
