OLDS' SWEET CORN 
Our Sweet Corn is all first class, high testing, Wisconsin-grown seed. Our packets each contain two ounces, larger 
than the usual packet and enough for 30 to 40 hills. One peck (11 lbs.) will plant an acre. We recommend using 
Semesan Jr., with Sweet Corn as well as Field Corn. See page 76. For large amounts see Market Gardeners’ list, 
page 41. Seed corn seed is very short this year. 
Golden Bantam. 
145. EARLY EVERGREEN. (88 days.) An extra 
fine strain of Stowed’s Evergreen with large ears, yet 
ready for the table 7 to 8 days earlier than Stowell’s. 
It retains the fine sugary flavor and tenderness of kernel 
that have made the Evergreens popular. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; y 2 lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c; 5 lbs., $1.80, 
postpaid. 
140. *BLACK MEXICAN. (88 days.) One of the largest 
and sweetest of all varieties of sweet corn. Ears 8 to 10 inches 
long. Kernels white when in the eating state. The best second 
early for the home garden. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 
15c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. 
138. -^HOWLING MOB. (85 days.) This variety is so 
valuable that it heads the list with many growers. When it was 
first offered the demand for it became so loud and clamorous that 
it was given its queer but appropriate name. It is one. of the 
best flavored and most tender of all second-early or main crop 
varieties. Very, productive, ears nine to ten inches long, with 
sixteen rows. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; V 2 lb,. 20c; 
lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. 
144. OLDS' GOLDEN GEM. (70 days.) We in¬ 
troduced this new extra early yellow sweet corn four 
years ago. It is without doubt the finest early yellow corn 
. so far introduced. It is just as early as any of the white 
varieties and will sell much more readily than the white. The 
ears of Golden Gem are rather small, averaging from 6 to 7 
inches in length, 8 rows to the ear. Golden Gem is 10 days 
ahead of Golden Bantam and the quality fully equal to that 
famous old variety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; a /2 
lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
1421/2. GOLDEN OR BANTAM EVERGREEN. (88 
days.) Many attempts have been made to combine the sweet¬ 
ness, earliness, color and flavor of Golden Bantam, with the ten¬ 
der skin and large ear of the Evergreen. The Bantam Evergreen 
is the only really successful cross. A fine second-planting va¬ 
riety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; i/ 2 lb., 25c; lb., 
45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1 .60, postpaid. 
“I was awarded, first prize 
on twenty-five mixed asters 
at the eighth annual flower 
show of the Warren National 
Bank at Warren, Pa., last 
September. They were grown 
from your seed.—Mary Root, 
Pa. 
142. -^GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most popular variety in the United 
States. Everyone likes Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people will not take any 
other when it is obtainable. The flavor is deliciously distinct, superior to that 
of any other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually less than 6 inches in length 
and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher in sugar content than for any other corn. 
It is only 10 to 12 days later than Early July, making a good succession when 
both varieties are planted at the same time. 
The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, while the cob is small, 
and the flavor delicious. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 
35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. 
136. MAMMOTH WHITE GORY. (78 days.) Larger than the original 
White Cory and still one of the very earliest varieties of sweet corn. It was 
named Mammoth White Cory because the ears are so large for an extra early 
variety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 5c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.20, 
postpaid. 
135. FOLDS' EARLY JULY. (70 days.} An extremely early white 
icorn. To say that it is earlier than Golden Bantam is perhaps recom- 
(mendation enough. 
The ears are creamy white, about seven inches long and on account of 
the very admirable habit of producing two, three and even four good ears to 
the stalk, it is really very productive. It has a short stalk with few leaves, 
so you can plant six or eight kernels to the hill. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 
15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
147. ★STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. (96 
days.) The best known and most largely plant¬ 
ed of all late varieties. It makes the largest 
ear and the most fodder of any sweet corn we 
list, and the corn is tender, sweet, and of ex¬ 
cellent flavor. Its popularity is also due to the 
fact that it remains long in the milk before 
ripening up, thereby lengthening its season for 
table use; hence the name, Evergreen. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 
40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
IT PAYS TO PLANT RELIABLE SEEDS. 
“I got seed from another firm last year because 
cheaper and got cauliflower for cabbage and the 
onions never came up. Am buying this year be¬ 
cause of quality I can rely upon, also seeds true 
to name.” — Mrs. Chester L. Tanner, Ky.
