First Introduced in 1830—Then One Variety 
Sixty-eight to 100 Days 
from Planting to 
Edible Conditi on 
No one having a garden of over 150 square feet should be without a few hills of sweet com. Picked a 
few minutes before eating, it is very much more luscious than any that can be bought in the grocery store. 
It deteriorates very rapidly, an hour’s time making a great difference. In our opinion, the best early roasting 
ear of garden com is Landreths’ Earliest Table; the best early varieties of sugar corns are Spanish Gold, 
Whipples Yellow, and Vanguard. The best second early variety is Golden Bantam. For midseason or main 
crop, we recommend Bloomsdale Golden, Golden Cross Hybrid, Howling Mob, Country Gentlemen and 
Stowell’s Evergreen. The finest quality of all varieties is our Money Maker, a late maturing white sweet 
com of rare flavor and tenderness. 
Black Mexican—84 Days 
Stalks about 6§ to 7 feet high. Length of ear about 8 inches. Usually 
8-rowed. Dry seed black or purple, with flat grain. A second early variety. 
When young, kernels very white, exceedingly sugary. As sweet, if not sweeter, 
than Golden Bantam. 
BLOOMSDALE GOLDEN (Golden Sunrise)—86 Days 
This is a new hybrid variety created by crossing Golden Bantam with 
Long Island Beauty. Due to the confusion of our Golden Sunrise with 
Golden Sunshine and others of similar names, we have changed the name 
of Golden Sunrise to Bloomsdale Golden. Height of stalk 6J to 7 ft. 
Ears long and thin, average length 8 to 9 inches and long pointed. Rows 
mostly 10 to 14. Grains medium length and golden in color. This is a new 
variety of considerable merit. Resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease. 
BLOOMSDALE GOLDEN TOP CROSS (Top Crossed Golden Sunrise) 
—86 Days 
This is identical to Bloomsdale Golden except that one of the parents of 
Purdue Golden Cross is used as the pollen parent on the detasseled rows of 
Bloomsdale Golden. This makes a superior hybrid, very uniform and pro¬ 
ducing a high yield per acre. Resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease. 
Country Gentleman or Shoe Peg—96 Days 
Stalk 5J to 6 ft. Ears medium length and thickness, averaging 6 to 7 inches 
and short pointed. Grain, long and irregular, very narrow and white color. 
Considered by many one of the best sweet corns for family garden and one of 
the most popular varieties used by commercial canners. The silk on Country 
Gentleman ears is always very red, and it can easily be distinguished 
by this feature. Fairly resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease. 
Early Mayflower or White Cory—72 Days 
A first early sugar com. Height of stalk, 4) feet. 
Ears about 5 inches long. 8 to 12 rowed._ 
Country Gentleman 
Evergreen Early White—88 Days 
Height of stalk 7 feet. Slightly slimmer and 
shorter stalk than Stowell’s Evergreen. Broad, 
vigorous green foliage. Ears about 7 to 8 inches 
long, with 14 or more irregular rows. Very deep, 
white grains.
