Perfection in Sweet Corn 
My ambition was to produce a better sweet corn with larger 
ears and superior quality to the kinds in common use. This I 
succeeded in doing in the two following varieties: 
SWEET ORANGE sweet corn (yellow) is nearly as early as the 
smaller yellow kinds. It has 12 and frequently 14 rows of ker¬ 
nels. Ears are twice as large as the Bantam corn. It makes a 
profitable market corn and is a favorite table corn as well. Height 
about 4 feet. 
Selected Seed 75c per pint; 50c per half-pint. 
MT. SHASTA SWEET CORN. This is the largest and sweet¬ 
est corn in existence. Although it is a very large corn it possesses 
an unusually pleasing, sweet and delicious flavor of its own. The 
Mt. Shasta Corn sells itself. 
It sold all through the past season in my field, where it grew, at 
my roadside stand, as fast as it matured, at 50 cents per dozen. 
I can safely state that no other sweet corn has in so short a 
time met with so great and popular demand as has the Mt. Shasta. 
Selected Seed 75c per pint; 50c per half-pint. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CORN 
Make three plantings of SWEET ORANGE, and three of MT. 
SHASTA and you will have a. continual supply of the finest 
green corn you ever ate. 
Plant the SWEET ORANGE in rows three feet apart and hills 
three feet apart in the row. Three stalks to each hill. Fertilize 
liberally when planting according to the quality of the soil with 
poultry manure, but do not allow it to be placed less than five 
inches from the seed. 
Plant the MT. SHASTA in rows four feet apart and hills 3*4 
feet apart in the row. Allow only three stalks to a hill and if 
soil is weak only two stalks. Fertilize liberally when planting 
with poultry manure, placed not less than five inches from the 
seed. 
Caution: Do not mix strong fertilizer with the soil when plant¬ 
ing any kind of seed. It is liable to injure the seed. Allow 
the seed to sprout in the plain soil. It will find the fertilizer 
very soon four or five inches away. 
THE WILLIAMS WORM KILLER. A tool to kill the dahlia 
borer (a big fat worm) inside the stalk without injuring 
the plant. This borer enters the stalk near the ground and 
feeds on the pulp until it reaches the top when the top 
breaks over. Its presence is determined by the hole in the 
stalk near the ground where sediment escapes. Directions 
for using with every tool which can be carried in your 
pocket. Price 50c, postpaid.
