Bland’s Extra Early 
GARDEN CORN 
Plant from 
April Till August. 
The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are 
hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns 
and make excellent roasting ears before the 
sugar corns are ready. 
CULTURE._Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excel¬ 
lent garden corn may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and 
thoroughly worked before planting. Plant the early varieties the last of 
March or early in April; SWEET CORNS ARE TENDER and should not 
be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable 
to rot. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, and continue 
plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in August for 
a succession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant during July 
or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; 
10 to 12 pounds plants an acre. 
No. 150. Bland’s Extra Early [55 Days] 
If you want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood, 
you must plant Bland’s. 
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, fully a week 
earlier than Extra Early Adams. No corn we have ever offered has had 
such constant and growing demand; practically every general order calls 
for Bland’s Extra Early. It makes an attractive ear of good size and fine 
quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. If you 
are like most gardeners and take a pride in having the earliest garden 
in your neighborhood, you will have to plant Bland’s. W e recommend 
it not only to the private gardener, hut to those who grow for market, 
for in earliness it is ahead of any garden corn in cultivation and the size 
and appearance of the ear should make it a ready seller. 
No. 151. Trucker’s Favorite [65 Days] 
Make a planting of Trucker’s Favorite to make bigger ears to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early. 
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as 
Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches long, 
with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many prefer to 
sugar corn. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and can be planted 
weeks earlier, and is ready for the table or market in about 65 days. 
Unfortunately, since we introduced Trucker’s Favorite the name seems 
to have appealed to many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been ap¬ 
plied to many other corns. If you order Trucker’s Favorite from half 
a dozen seed houses you would probably get a different corn from each. 
To have the real Trucker’s Favorite corn order from us, who origi¬ 
nated it. 
Extra Early 
Adams. 
jvt i cn r i *7 i aj [ 60 Days]. —The earliest of all 
No. 15z. txtra tarly Adams white corns except Bland’s 
Extra Early; makes a small ear and stalk, and can be planted 
close together. The grains are white and smooth; very hardy 
and can be planted earlier than any of the sugar corns. It is 
ready for the table in about six weeks after planting. 
AT AT c II A/I la. [65 Days]. —Not as early as Big 
No. 155. Norroik JVlairKet Early Adams, but makes a larger 
ear, averaging about 9 inches long. The grains are fairly deep, 
and when at roasting ear stage are tender and milky. It is hard¬ 
ier than any of the sugar corns, withstands cold ground better 
and can be planted much earlier. A good early corn, but not as 
highly regarded as Trucker’s Favorite. If not used 
for roasting ears it makes a good yielding corn for 
feeding. 
Ideal or Big Early Adams 
No. 154. Ideal or Big Early Adams 
[70 Days]. —Intermediate as to earliness and size of 
ear, between Bland’s Extra Early and Trucker’s Fa¬ 
vorite. It is hardier than any of the sugar corns and 
can be planted earlier. The ears measure 8 to 9 ins. 
long, with 12 or more rows of round white grains to 
the ear. Grows about 6 feet high, allowing close 
planting; early and hardy, allowing early planting. 
This is a good corn to come in after Bland’s Extra 
Early and before the bigger-eared Trucker’s Favor¬ 
ite.
