Golden Bantam Corn 
Because Sweet Corn is fer¬ 
tilized by the wind, plants 
must be grown in blocks rather 
than lines, so that the pollen 
will drift from one plant to 
another. In the home-garden it 
is best to plant blocks of 10 
square feet every two weeks 
until midsummer. 
SWEET CORN

One packet will plant two 15-foot rows; one pint of each, an early and late 
sort, contains enough seeds for repeated sowings in the home-garden; one peck 
will plant one acre in hills. 
Culture. Do not sow Corn until the ground is thoroughly warm, and 
never sow Corn in one row—always have two rows or more, even if they are 
short. Drop the kernels 4 inches apart in the row and thin to 6 inches apart 
when the plants are established. Do not allow the basal suckers to grow. Hoe 
frequently and hill slightly to support the plants against the wind. 
Golden Evergreen Corn 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Golden Bantam. The finest Sweet Corn for the home-garden. Plants 
are dwarf and produce an abundance of small, deliciously sweet ears 
with rich golden yellow grains. It is ready for use about 80 days 
from the time of sowing the seed. 
Golden Gem. The earliest yellow variety. Very dwarf, with rathe 1 " 
small ear. Is very valuable to the market gardener in reaching the 
earliest market. The stalks frequently bear two ears which are 
8-rowed, and the deep yellow kernels are tender, exceptionally 
sweet, and of good flavor. 
Golden Sunshine. An excellent new variety, somewhat earlier than 
Golden Bantam, from which it was developed. The ears are larger, 
bearing 12 rows of kernels, but the flavor is sweet and luscious. 
White-Cob Cory. Ranks high as a dependable extra-early variety in 
cool northern sections where the seasons are short. The ears average 
6 inches long, bearing 8 rows of pearly white grains which retain their 
glistening beauty after being cooked. 
Howling Mob. An excellent and popular variety bearing ears 7 to 
9 inches long with 12 to 14 rows of broad deep white kernels of 
exceptionally sweet and tender quality. The strong, heavy husks 
make it excellent for shipping. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow. Largest and earliest of the yellow varieties. 
Its large ears grow 7 to 8 inches long, bearing 12 to 16 rows of big 
golden yellow kernels. The tall stout stalks often bear two fully 
developed ears. 
MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
Golden Evergreen. A late midseason variety, sometimes called 
Bantam Evergreen. The ears average 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to 
14 rows of fine, large, yellow kernels. 
Golden Giant. Considered by many to be better than Golden Bantam. 
The seed is hardier and sprouts sooner in early spring than less 
hardy varieties. Its large ears, with 12 to 14 rows of thick golden 
yellow kernels, are enclosed in heavy husks. 
Kendel’s Early Giant. Favorite second-early variety with 12-rowed 
ears, 8 to 9 inches long, tightly filled with tender, deep-set kernels 
which are juicy and sweet until quite old. 
Black Mexican. A famous western variety where it is ranked highest 
in quality. The young kernels are pure white, becoming blue-violet 
and finally black when the Corn is ripe. The ears have good size 
and delicious flavor.
