yellow varieties. The ears are very unifoinn, 6 to 7 inches

rich golden yellow in color, tender, sweet and palatable.

iiiidseason Sweet Corn ever introdueed. It is 
vigorous and productive, with ears 7 to 9 in. 
long, closely set with 12 or 14 rows of beau¬ 
tiful pearly white grains. The kernels are 
arranged neatly in straight rows which give

tbe North Dakota E.xperiment Station,

the market, producing ears in 62 days. 
The ear i.s about the same size as Sun¬ 
shine, but has only 8 to 10 rows. Qual¬ 
ity, tenderness, and sweet flavor are 
unsurpassed. The plant is c.xeeedingly 
short, but vigorous and productive, is 
certain to be a great favorite. Pkt.,

early Sweet Corn maturing marketable 
crop in 63 days from time of planting. 
Ears 8 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, 
fine grained, delicious flavor, stalks 
4% feet high. I consider this the 
leader by far of all early yellow varie¬ 
ties of Sweet Corn. A sure money 
maker for market gardeners where a 
matter of 5 to 10 days in marketing a 
crop makes a tremendous difforenee in 
the value per dozen or 100 ears. Pkt., 
10 cts.; 1/2 lb., 22 cts.; lb., 38 cts.; 
2 lbs., 65 cts., postpaid.

proved howling mob. Ready for table

5 feet tall, produce large cars, usu¬ 
ally two, 7 to 7% inches long, with 
12 rows of medium-sized deep-sot 
grains, pearly-white, tender, juicy, and 
(Icliciously sweet. No other type can 
surpass it in flavor. It is a favorite 
trucker’s variety because it combines 
large size with high quality; and it 
dominates many markets. Also desir¬ 
able for the home garden. Pkt., 10

Early Market

cioii.s, early strain of 
sweet earn. An excep¬ 
tional variety for mar- 
gardeners as the 
implies. The ker- 
r e silvery-white 
anid extremely sWeet. It 
remains in table quality 
foA’ a considerable pe¬ 
riod, which makes it 
particularly profitable.

sider we havp one of the 
best varieties of sweet 
corn offered. Ready for

36: 
Evergreen 
A selected strain of Stowell’s 
Evergreen bred for earliness, it 
will produce edible ears a week 
to ten days earlier on the aver¬ 
age than the original. For this 
reason it is a valuable market 
sort providing a succession to 
the second early types. In other 
respects its qualities are prac 
tically identical with Stowell's; 
ears 7% inches long; 12 to 14 
rows; deep white luscious ker¬ 
nels, remaining in table condi¬ 
tion a long time. Ready for 
table in 80 to S5 days. A fa 
vorite in northern, cooler lo 
calities. Pkt., 8 cts.; % lb., 19

369 Whipple’s 
Early White 
369 Whipple^s 
Early White 
A grand early white corn. The 
ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather 
narrow kernels and are of very fine 
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long 
and large around, they look like well 
bred Evergreen yet they mature two 
to three weeks earlier. Market gar- 
dener.s find that the size, high yield 
(there arc often two good ears on 
a stalk) and earliness make this a 
very profitable kind to grow for mar¬ 
kets where a white corn is wanted. 
Eeady for use in 80 days. Pkt., 8 
cts.; V 2 Ibv 19 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 2 lbs., 
60 cts., postpaid. 
350 Golden Sunshine 
Eeady in 68 days. A quite new, 
remarkably fine, extra early va¬ 
riety, originated through selective 
breeding by Professor A. F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and .stay.s in table quality 
for .a greater length of time. The 
ear is about one inch longer and 
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8. The 
kernels are sweeter, more tcndoi’, 
and a lighter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its earlier maturity, 
longer .season, and superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban¬ 
tam and is displacing the latter in 
many maikct.s. Pkt., 10 cts.; V 2 
lb., 20 cts.; Ib.^ 33 cts.; 2 lbs., 55 
cts., postpaid.
