R.B. BUCHANAN SEED CQ gfiie MEMPHIS,TENNESSEE. 
GARDEN AND SWEET CORN 
CULTURE—The grains of sweet corn are shriveled and rather tender and cannot be planted quite as early as 
field varieties. Leaves on trees should be well out and the ground warm before planting. Make hills 2% to 3 1 
feet apart each way, dropping 5 or 6 grains in each hill, thinning out afterward to 2 or 3 stalks to the hill. A 
continuous supply can be kept up by planting early, medium and late varieties at one time, or by making several 
plantings at intervals of 15 days. Seed required: One pound to 200 hills; about 14 pounds (1 peck) per acre.

THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN

Large Adams 
140— COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Sugar) (93 days)— One of the 
best known of the mid-season varieties. It is the old shoe- 
peg type of kernel, pure white, very sweet and tender. It is a 
good yielder, producing 2 to 3 good-sized ears to the stalk. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.35 
141— EARLY SURPRISE (75 days)—A wonderful roasting ear 
corn, especially bred for market gardeners’ use; when plant¬ 
ed at the same time as Large Adams it is ready for use just 
when the Large Adams is giving out; it is the best corn to 
use for succession plantings all through the season. In eat¬ 
ing, this corn is slightly sweet, resembling sugar corn in 
Extra Early Varieties 
134— GOLDEN BANTAM (Sugar) (80 days)—The sweetest and most delicious extra early corn 
for the home garden. Extremely early and very productive. The stalks grow only 5 feet in 
height and, where space is limited, the hills can be as close as 214 feet apart. Each stalk bears 
2 or 3 well-filled ears, 6 to 7 inches in length. The kernels are of a beautiful yellow color, 
very milky, tender and sweet. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.35 
135— EXTRA EARLY ADAMS (Sweet) (75 days)—Owing to its extreme earliness it is used 
for a first early table corn in the South. The stalks are about 4 feet high, with small tassel, 
very few leaves, and without suckers. The ears are short, very full, 12 to 14-rowed, often 
nearly as thick as they are long and well covered with coarse husks. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.15 
132— WHIPPELL’S EARLY YELLOW (Sugar) (84 days)—An extra early yellow Sugar Com. 
Larger and earlier than Golden Bantam. Stalks grow 5 to 6 feet, and many produce two large 
ears. Kernels bright yellow, tender, sweet, and finest quality. Whippell’s Early Yellow Sugar 
Corn is ready for the table in about seven weeks. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.35 
133— GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Sugar) (76 days)—Also an early variety of the Golden Bantam 
type, growing from 5 to 514 feet high and producing ears 7 to 8 inches long, with sweet, 
luscious yellow grains, matures 3 to 4 days later than Golden Bantam. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.20 
Medium Early Varieties 
136— ADAMS EARLY LARGE (Sweet) (85 days)—One of our leading varieties. Matures about 
2 weeks later than the Extra Early Adams but ears are larger and handsomer. The stalks 
are vigorous, averaging 7 feet in height, and well bladed. This and the Adams Extra Early 
are very hardy and can be planted earlier than sweet corns. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.10 
137— TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (Sweet) (75 days)—For a second early, to follow Early Adams, 
this is unquestionably one of the best; or for planting late to mature quickly it is equally 
valuable. It is a white corn, with good depth of grain, tender and sweet, and a most de¬ 
sirable size for roasting ears. Besides being a fine garden corn, it is a splendid field corn to 
follow potatoes and other early crops. The ears are large and well filled. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 35c; 5 lbs., 75c 
Main Crop Varieties 
138— STOWELL’S EVERGREEN (Sugar) (96 days)—The standard main crop variety, much 
used for the home garden, market, and canning. It is hardy and productive, very tender and 
sugary, remaining a long time in condition suitable for boiling. The ears are about 10 to 
12 inches long, 14 to 20-rowed, with very white grain. The stalks are about 714 feet high. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.35 
taste. One of our market gardener customers produced three 
crops of roasting ears on the same ground one season with 
this wonderful corn. Average height of stalk about 6 feet, 
the ear is thick, well grained to the end of the cob, rows 
of grain straight and uniform. When cut green for market 
the ears average from 12 to 14 inches in length, sell quicker 
and command a much better price than corns of the Adams 
type. It is very productive, producing two and often three 
good ears to the stalk. Being hardy, can be planted at same 
time as Adams Early, as it will stand much cold and wet weather. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 35c; 5 lbs., 75c
