EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Surprise. (72 days). A valuable extra 
early white corn. Early Surprise, according to 
trial ground tests, is even earlier than the Early 
Dighton or Alpha. Seed planted May 22nd was 
ready in 69 days. A large, attractive, strictly 
white ear with 12 rows. Price per pt., 30c.; 
per qt., 55c.; 10 lbs., $2.40; 100 lbs., $21.00. 
Spanish Gold. (72 days). An extra early, 
developed by Connecticut Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. Ears 6 to 7 inches, mostly ten- 
rowed; in season 3 or 4 days earlier than Golden 
Sunshine. Price per pt., 30c.; per qt., 55c; 
10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00. 
Mayflower. (74 days). Early white, very simi¬ 
lar to Early Surprise, which is an improved 
selection out of Mayflower. Price per pt., 30c.; 
per qt., 55c.; 10 lbs., $2.40; 100 lbs., $21,00. 
Golden Market. (75 days). One to three days 
earlier than Golden Sunshine which it resem¬ 
bles, except slightly larger ear. A valuable early 
corn for the market. Price per pt., 30c.; per 
qt., 55c.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00. 
Golden Sunshine. (76 days). Four to five 
days earlier than Golden Bantam; much larger; 
ears 6^4 to 7 in., with quite uniformly twelve 
rows instead of eight and possessing that su¬ 
perb quality of the original not found in other 
yellow sorts. Although a slightly smaller ear 
(less cob diameter) and 1 or 2 days later than 
Golden Market, it is finer in quality and less 
susceptible to wilt. Price per pt., 30c.; per 
qt., 55c.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00.* 
Golden Bantam. (80 days). Original type. 
Medium size, 8-rowed, ears of finest quality, 
which has never been improved on in that 
respect. Many prefer it to the larger sorts and 
make successive plantings every two weeks up 
to July 15 for this vicinity. Price per pt,, 35c.; 
per qt., 60c.; 10 lbs., $2.70; 100 lbs., $24.00.

provement in yellow sweet corn; ready about 
same time as Golden Bantam, but nearly twice 
the size, ears 7 to 8 inches long, 12 to 16-rowed. 
The quality is excellent. Price per pt., 35c.; 
per qt., 60c.; 10 lbs., $2.70; 100 lbs., $24.00.
