White Varieties 
144 — GOLDEN BANTAM. (72 days.) The standard yellow sweet 
corn. We have had some discussion over the regular Golden 
Bantam and the new Hybrid Golden Bantam type. I had both in 
my garden this year and although the hybrid outyielded the 
regular Golden Bantam and is a little earlier, I still think that 
the old favorite Golden Bantam is mighty hard to beat. Pkt., 5c; 
y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid

sweet corn should be a golden yellow, and I felt that we were

Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen, combining the fine 
qualities of each. It is a main crop sort, very productive, has 
large ears and the flavor is exceptionally fine. A good variety
