Since the PiWims settled Massachusetts, Sweet Corn has been one. of the most relished vegetables. 
In earlv days our forefathers used the old-fashioned Indian Corn, picking samejust as it came into the 
milk and termed it Roasting Ears. Ever since, man has striven to produce a better quality suited to the 
advanced tastes and requirements of the time. By crossing the various types, wonderful improvements 
have been made, until one would think we had reached our zenith; especially after tasting those delicious 
types of Henderson’s Golden Rod and Burpee’s Golden Bantam. True these grand types were far supe¬ 
rior to any previously introduced, “but the color was against them. Once again Nature proved a won- 
der, for wl found in our field of Golden Bantam several earsxontam.ng a few white ! ^ n9 ^ 
selected planted by themselves, and today we have a distinct type of WHITE BANTAM, known as 
SILVER QUEEN Think of it, a WHITE BANTAM CORN, which contains all of the sweet lusciousness 
of the yellow sort, and yet invitingly silver white in color. Truly this grand new variety shonfid reign 
supreme an every garden. Do not associate it with any other kind; it is alone m its class, the SILVER
