THE GRAND JUNCTION SEED CO., Grand Junction, Colorado 
Mountain Grown Sweet Corn 
THE DIFFERENCE. The names of the varieties which we list are the same as those listed hy other re¬ 
liable seed companies. They are the same varieties. But they have been grown in the mountains at alti¬ 
tudes of 5000 to 6000 feet and they will mature earlier. Ten days earlier may not seem a great difference, 
taut in many localities this is over ten per cent of the growing season. Do you, market gardeners, want to 
get your Corn on the early, high priced market? Do you, home gardeners, want to have Sweet Corn when it 
is still considered a luxury? There is nothing in the vegetable kingdom hailed with as much delight, looked 
forward to with as much anticipation, as juicy Sweet Corn. 
THE SWEETEST CORN cannot be purchased, it must be home raised. It should be gathered for the table 
or for canning not more than two hours before it is cooked, as the quality and sweetness are injured by keep¬ 
ing longer than this. Sweet Corn is in the proper stage for gathering when the grains are plump and just 
entering the dough stage. 
Culture. One pound to 400 feet of row; 10 pounds per acre. Rows should be laid off about three feet apart 
and seeds sown 1 to iy z inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. Or plant in hills 3 feet apart each 
way, leaving three plants to a hill. Growers often plant early corn before the normal season. Then, if the 
crop escapes frost, it matures earlier and is correspondingly valuable. 
If it is killed it may be cheaply planted again. In the home garden it 
is well to have a succession of plantings to supply 
the table during the season. 
Plsent Spanish Gold lor Your Early Crop 
444 Spanish Gold. (55 days.l Our Superior 
New Sweet Corn. A careful check has 
been kept of our seed field of Spanish Gold. 
In many ways it surpasses all other varie¬ 
ties. It is fully as early as Golden Gem 
and has larger ears, which leave the stalk 
higher above the ground. A true sugar 
corn, tasty and delicious. Spanish Gold is 
a good yielder. The ears are twelve-rowed, 
six to eight inches long. Stalks are about 
four feet high, a great many producing two 
or three ears. Spanish Gold is the best of 
all early sweet corn. See color cut on in¬

Golden Gem has been our leader and our best 
selling sweet corn for the last three sea¬ 
sons: in fact, we have never been able to sup¬ 
ply the demand for this new sweet corn. Is 
your family fond of sweet corn? Plant 
Golden Gem and have roasting ears 2 weeks 
earlier. Mr. Market Gardener, plant Golden 
Gem and make a clean-up on the market, 
before other varieties of early corn ma¬
