Late Varieties 
Country Gentleman or Shoe 
Peg 1 05 days 
One of the best known and widely 
planted varieties. The ears average 
8 to 9 in. in length, frequently three 
on a stalk. The white kernels are set 
irregularly on the cob so there are 
no rows. Cob is very small and the 
kernels have great depth. A stand¬ 
ard late variety for home gardens, 
market gardens and commercial can- 
ners. 
Golden Evergreen 95 days 
A cross between Golden Bantam and 
Stowell’s Evergreen, combining the 
buttery flavor of the former with the 
large ear of the latter. Stalks grow 
6 to 7 ft., bearing ears 7 to 8 in. long, 
with straight rows (12 to 14) of de¬ 
liciously, sweet, golden kernels. 
Improved Blk. Mexican 92 da. 
Many people consider this variety 
the sweetest and most delicious 
table corn grown. The ears are 8 in. 
long with 10 rows of kernels. At 
eating stage the kernels are bluish 
white, but when ripe they are a 
bluish black.

This is the old standard variety for 
home gardens, market gardens and 
canners. Stalks 7 to 8 ft.; ears 8 in. 
long with 16 or more rows of the

SWEET CORN For Fodder 
Early Sweet Fodder 
A mixture of early varieties of sweet corn 
which makes early and nutritious fodder. It 
is ready for feeding at a time when pastures 
are frequently short. Stalks grow about 5V 2 
feet tall with plenty of ears. 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder 
Our seed is of regular Evergreen Sweet 
Corn, not of high enough quality for produc¬ 
ing the best table corn, but very satisfactory 
for fodder. Stalks 6 to 7 ft. tall with large 
sweet ears.
