(Sweet Corn—Continued) 
♦GILL’S EARLY WHITE MARKET—For years 
this has been recognized as the earliest true sweet 
corn and we have splendid reports from all over 
the United States. It is 10 to 14 days earlier than 
the Portland Market, which we have discontinued 
in favor of Gill’s Early Market. The immense ears 
are well filled with large, sweet, plump, white 
grains set 12 to 14 rows to the cob. On account of 
its extreme earliness and large size market garden¬ 
ers get very profitable prices. For earliest results 
use plenty of fresh horse manure and Garden Grow 
fertilizer. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c. E. or F., 
lb. 25c; 10 lbs. @ 18c; 25 lbs. @ 16c. 
♦GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM—Su¬ 
perior to the original Golden Bantam in quality and 
nearly twice the size. Nearly all ears carry 12 
rows of deep, rich, golden yellow kernels set close 
upon the cob. Do not compare this with the origi¬ 
nal strain, as it is far superior in every respect, 
and any gardener who places this corn on the mar¬ 
ket will command better sales and prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, canning or 
drying. We carry the exclusive seed of this im¬ 
proved strain. Remember, we are improving this 
variety every year, and if you wish the up-to-date 
selection buy direct from us. We have received 
many letters of praise for this corn and its good 
qualities represent 20 years of earnest work on our 
part. Many of our customers will have nothing 
else. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; E. or F. lb. 
25c; 10 lbs. @ 18c; 25 lbs. @ 17c; 100 lbs. @ 16c. 
♦GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM—A new hybrid 
sweet corn especially valuable where Stewart’s di¬ 
sease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordinary 
varieties. Excellent for market gardeners and can- 
ners. Ears 10 to 14 rowed, slightly lighter yellow 
than Improved Golden Bantam. Matures very uni¬ 
formly. Pkt. 15c; y 2 lb. 40c; lb. 75c. 
♦GOLDEN GIANT—Large, golden yellow ears of 
high quality. A cross between Howling Mob and 
Golden Bantam. The stalks grow nearly as tall as 
Howling Mob with ears almost as large. Matures 
about ten days after Improved Golden Bantam. 
Popular yellow corn for late markets. Can be 
planted for late use with fine success. Pkt. 10c; 
% lb. 20c; lb. 30c. E. or F., Ib. 25c; 10 lbs. @ 17c. 
♦OREGON EVERGREEN—While this is not a 
first early corn, this strain is considerably earlier 
than Stowell’s Evergreen, which in general char¬ 
acter it resembles. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 20c; lb. 30c. 
E. or F., lb 25c; 10 lbs. @ 17c; 100 lbs. @ 15c. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN—Standard white va¬ 
riety later than Oregon Evergreen. Used for mar¬ 
ket and ensilage. Prices same as Oregon Evergreen. 
YELLOW SWEET CORN COLLECTION 
We offer one packet each of Improved Golden 
Bantam, Golden Giant and Golden Early Market for 
20c; y 2 lb. each for 50c; 1 lb. each for 75c, postpaid. 
This makes a splendid succession if planted at the 
same time. 
FIELD CORN 
The growing of field corn has now reached a 
stage where it is past being an experiment, and 
with acclimated seed there is no difficulty to obtain 
success. We do not and will not handle any but 
local grown seed of Dent corn and our customers 
may feel sure of getting acclimated seed. 
♦ALBANY HYBRID—A cross between Minn. No. 
13 and Pride of The North. It has the earliness of 
the No. 13, and the deep grain and small cob of 
the Pride of The North. It has been given careful 
selection and is, we believe, one of the finest sorts 
for grain or ensilage. It is very early and produc¬ 
es large, heavy ears on tall stalks. Large pkt. 10c; 
lb. 25c. E. or F., lb. 20c; 10 lbs. @ 10c; 100 lbs.
