THE BONNEWITZ GARDENS, VAN WERT, OHIO 
About August 20, I expect to begin dehydrating Aunt Mary’s 
sweet corn for seed, and by September 20, I hope to have enough 
of it for my own planting next year, and all the surplus after that 
date will be sold for seed in order to get money to pay off the mort¬ 
gage. The time and equipment spent in getting the dampness out 
of this corn will of course make the seed somewhat more expensive 
than ordinary sweet corn, but I will offer one-half pound of it, 
which will consist of at least eight hundred ripened grains, for 
$1.00 post paid to any address in the United States. The price 
should be lower next year, and still lower the following year. In 
case some of our readers would like to send their money direct to 
Aunt Mary to be applied on her mortgage they may address their 
letters 
Aunt Mary Atkinson 
The sweet corn woman, 
R. R. No. 3, 
London, Ohio. 
Postal money orders, drafts and checks are the safest means 
of sending money. 
If you send your money direct to Aunt Mary, she will notify me, 
and I will send you the corn just the same as if you had sent the 
money to me, for we are both equally anxious to get the mortgage 
paid. 
Never boil corn—Boil the water—then remove 
from the stove and allow the ivater to stop 
bubbling. Drop in the corn and let it stand for 
ten minutes—or more if desired.
