Golden Bantam 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS—Plant corn every two weeks for a continuous supply, and 
north of the Ohio from late April to late July. Plant corn in three or four foot drills, 
dropping a grain every eight to sixteen inches, or plant in hills three or four feet each 
way, giving six grains to the hill and thinning to tnree stalks. Corn should be planted 
about one inch ueep, planted deeper in sand than in heavy clay; planted deeper later 
in the year when the soil is warm. Plow deeply for corn, cultivate shallow, and pick 
corn before it is too old. If the goodness of new corn tempts a too early planting, do 
not blame the resulting failure on your seedsman. 
BLACK MEXICAN —The grains when matured are blue- 
black, and when in edible state are cream color. Tender and 
of excellent quality. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN —Perhaps the most popular 
variety for main crop and general planting on a large scale. 
It grows to a good height; ears are very large, well filled to 
the tips. The sweet kernels are pure white, affording a 
ready sale. Ears are about 8 to 9 inches long, 16 to 18 rowed. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —Finest home garden variety, and in 
a class by itself for quality. Superior in many ways to other 
Sweet Corn. Very early, sweet and tender. Cobs are well 
filled with deep cream colored kernels. We cannot recommend 
this variety too highly for the home garden. It is important 
that the corn be picked about 3 to 4 days after it has taken 
on a yellow hue. If picked later than this it is apt to be 
over ripe and cook hard. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN— A fine mid-season variety, 
sometimes called ‘‘Shoe Peg,” owing to the shape- of the 
kernels. Cobs are very small, thickly covered with white, 
slender kernels. Very sweet and tender. Very prolific and 
remains ready for use longer than any other kind. 
HOWLING MOB —The stalks are usually about 5 feet in 
height and produce two splendid ears to a stalk early in 
the season. The ears are 7 to 9 inches in length and are well 
covered with a heavy husk, affording protection from the 
green worms which so often are destructive to early varieties. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE— One of the earliest of the Golden 
group, maturing a week or ten days earlier than Golden 
Bantam. Ears are very compact about same size as Bantam, 
but more refined in appearance, having 10 to 12 rows of 
grains instead of 8. It is a very rapid dwarf grower. 
WHIPPLES EARLY YELLOW —A remarkable, outstand¬ 
ing variety of yellow sweet corn. M'akes a fine second early 
variety. Matures a few days later than Golden Bantam. 
Plants grow 6 feet tall. 
EARLY EVERGREEN —The ears are eight inches long 
with fourteen to eighteen rows. Extra good for market gar¬ 
deners and for the main crop in the home garden. Is ten to 
twelve days earlier than Stowell’s evergreen. Kernels are 
sweet and tender. 
LEONARD’S GOLDEN HUMMER —Fine large yellow 
variety. Six days earlier than Golden Sunshine and ears are 
about an inch longer. 
LEONARD’S EARLY —Ready for market six to eight days 
ahead of Early Mayflower. The stalks are short and stocky, 
usually producing two large handsome ears on each stock. 
The corn is a beautiful waxy white of a wonderful sweet 
flavor. Country Gentleman 
POP CORN 
Pop Corn can be grown 
to advantage in a com¬ 
mercial way and no farm or 
garden is complete without 
a few rows of this delicious 
confection, for who does 
not recall with pleasure 
bleak winter evenings en¬ 
livened by a dish of pop 
corn. 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
—1 oz. to 75 ft. row; 12 
lbs, per acre. 
TOM THUMB — Quite 
dwarf in habit and pro¬ 
duces an immense crop of 
short thick ears. Kernels 
pop white and tender. 
WHITE RICE —A popu¬ 
lar variety with ‘‘Cracker 
Jack” men. The kernels 
are pointed and resemble 
rice. It matures later than 
other varieties but yields 
heavily and ‘‘pops” fine. 
GOLDEN QUEEN— Yel¬ 
low grain and a good 
‘ ‘popper.’ ’ 
BLACK BEAUTY —An 
early variety; very pro¬ 
ductive. The kernels are 
black, but it ‘‘pops’’ pure 
white and are larger when 
‘‘popped” than other va¬ 
rieties. The ears are about 
6 inches long and 12 
rowed.
