Early Varieties 
*Mammoth White Cory. Early, sweet, and of 
good size. Ears and grains are of medium 
size, broad, sweet and very white. Cannot 
be too highly recommended. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 
20c., pt. 35c., qt. 65c. 
*Alpha or Earliest of Any. The earliest sweet 
corn. Matures a week to ten days ahead of 
Mammoth White Cory. 
For many years we have been seeking a 
variety of sweet corn that would be earlier 
than .Mammoth White Cory and still produce 
ears of fair size and good quality. Of the 
many varieties and strains which have come 
under our observation Alpha stands out pre¬ 
eminently in meeting these requirements. 
The ears average six to seven inches long, 
are uniformly eight rowed, fully equal in qual¬ 
ity to Mammoth White Cory, with skin a 
trifle more tender. The stalks are very uni¬ 
form in height, averaging about four feet. Ears 
are set low and close to the stalks. Pkt. 15c., 
54 pt. 35c., pt. 60c., qt. $1.00. 
Burbank Bantam. Earlier than the original 
Bantam. Large ears, 14 to 16 rows, very 
prolific. Real Bantam flavor. Pkt. 20c., 54 
pt. 35c., pt. 60c., qt. $1.00. 
*Golden Bantam. About a week later than 
Mammoth White Cory. Golden yellow 
color, very sweet, tender and of delicious 
flavor. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 20c., pt. 30c., qt. 55c. 
Golden Giant. Is quite early and is two or 
three times the size of Golden Bantam, but 
has all the good qualities of that well known 
variety. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 25c., pt. 40c., qt. 
75c. 
Golden Rod. Is a cross between Golden Ban 
tarn and Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears medium 
size, of a beautiful golden color, flavor de¬ 
licious and appetizing. It is a prolific bearer. 
Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 20c., pt. 35c., qt. 65c. 
Early Minnesota. An old-time favorite. Eight 
to ten rowed; large, white grains and very 
productive. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 20c., pt. 35c., qt. 
65c. 
Howling Mob. Is ready for use five days later 
than the extra-early Cory, when both are 
planted at the same time, but the ears are 
much larger in size, grains much whiter and 
sweeter. An early variety of large size. Pkt. 
15c., 54 pt. 20c., pt. 35c., qt. 65c. 
Second Early Varieties 
*Early Champion. Undoubtedly the best of the 
second early varieties. Ears are of the late 
Evergreen type; kernels of medium size and 
12 rowed. Very vigorous grower, yielding 
as many as 3 ears to the stalk. Pkt. 10c., 54 
pt. 20c., pt. 35c., qt. 65c. 
Metropolitan. A little earlier than Early Cham¬ 
pion, but not as large. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 20c., 
pt. 35c., qt. 65c.
