Perfection in Sweet Corn 
My ambition always was to produce a better sweet corn with 
larger ears and superior quality to the kinds in common use. 
This I succeeded in doing in the two following varieties: 
SWEET ORANGE sweet corn (yellow) is nearly as early as the 
smaller yellow kinds. It has 12 and frequently 14 rows of ker¬ 
nels. Ears are much larger than the Bantam corn. It makes a 
profitable market corn and is a favorite table corn as well. Height 
about 4 feet. 
Selected Seed $1.00 per quart; 60c per pint; 35c per half-pint 
MT. SHASTA SWEET CORN. This is the largest and best 
corn in existence. Although it is a very large corn it possesses 
an unusually pleasing, sweet and delicious flavor of its own, 
found in no other corn. The Mt. Shasta Corn sells itself. 
It sold all through the past season in my field, where it grew, at 
my roadside stand, as fast as it matured, at 50 cents per dozen. 
I can safely state that no other sweet corn has in so short a 
time met with so great and popular demand as has the Mt. Shasta. 
Selected Seed $1.00 per quart; 60c per pint; 35c per half-pint 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CORN 
Make three plantings of SWEET ORANGE, and three of MT. 
SHASTA and you will have a continual supply of the finest 
green corn you ever ate. 
Plant the SWEET ORANGE in rows three feet apart and hills 
three feet apart in the row. Three stalks to each hill. Fertilize 
liberally when planting according to the quality of the soil with 
poultry manure, but do not allow it to be placed less than five 
inches from the seed. 
Plant the MT. SHASTA in rows 3*4 feet apart and hills 3% 
feet apart in the row. Allow only three stalks to a hill and if 
soil is weak only two stalks. Fertilize liberally when planting 
with poultry manure, placed not less than five inches from the 
seed. 
Caution: Do not mix strong fertilizer with the soil when plant¬ 
ing any kind of seed. It is liable to injure the seed. Allow 
the seed to sprout in, the plain soil. It will find the fertilizer 
very soon four or five inches away. 
I sell all my big field of Mt. Shasta corn at my roadside mar¬ 
ket on the Watch Hill Road (where it grows), as fast as it de¬ 
velops, at 50c per doz. Some of my customers drive more than 
50 miles to get it. 
Note: The first planting should be planted as early as the ground 
is suitable.
