row, leaving one or two plants in a place. When 
about knee high, apply 100 pounds Ammo Phos 
“B” and same amount again when the corn be¬ 
gins to silk and tassel. This fertilizer applica¬ 
tion will greatly increase the yield, and will 
bring your crop to earlier maturity. For bud 
worms, use one pound powdered Arsenate of 
Lead and four pounds Hydrated Lime. Drop a 
little in the bud. Ship in special corn crates, six 
to eight dozen to the package. Early plantingB 
are made in Florida from January 1 until March. 
FloI Q1 (New) (75 days.) For the first time we are 
riUnQa offering this new variety of true sweet corn 
which is especially adapted to Florida. This 
new variety was developed by the Florida Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station and in our tests has been found to be superior to 
other varieties of true sweet corn in yield of marketable corn 
and resistance to worm damage. This variety was developed by 
crossing true sweet corn or roasting ear varieties in order to 
secure the heavy yielding qualities and the long tight husk of 
the roasting ear type along with the high edible quality of the 
true sweet corns. This variety does not yield as heavily as true 
roasting ear varieties, but where high edible quality is preferred 
it is a most desirable variety to grow for home use and for local 
markets. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 60c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 
14 lbs. (pk.) $1.75; 56 lbs. (bu.) $6.50.

Tuxpan 
(85 days.) This is a new variety of roasting ear 
corn highly recommended for the Everglades and 
South Florida. Does exceptionally well on Ever¬ 
glades muck. This variety is not recommended for Central and 
North Florida. Bred originally from a Mexican strain. It showed 
up so well in trials in South Florida that we introduced it a few 
years ago. It is a very late maturing variety and grows to a 
height of 12 to 14 feet. The ears are very long, large and heavy, 
with 14 to 16 rows of kernels. The husks are very long and 
tight, virtually making it impossible for the ear worm to enter. 
The busked ear has a most attractive pearly white color. Its im¬ 
mense stalk makes good fodder as well as large ears. The large 
heavy ears produced by this variety make it a most desirable 
variety for shipping and for the market. Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 
35c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 14 lbs. (pk.) $1.40; 56 lbs. (bu.)
