Shumway’s Extra 
Early Market 
Gardeners 
An outstanding, lus¬ 
cious, early strain of 
sweet corn. An excep¬ 
tional variety for mar¬ 
ket gardeners as the 
name implies. The ker¬ 
nels are silvery-white 
and extremely sweet. It 
remains in table quality 
for a considerable pe¬ 
riod, which makes it 
particularly profitable. 
In this variety I con¬ 
sider we have one of the 
best varieties of sweet 
corn offered. Ready for 
table in 65 days. Pkt., 
10 cts.; % lb., 20 ctsj lb., 
35 cts.; 2 lbs., 60 cts., 
postpaid. 
351 Golden Bantam 
Very popular early Sweet Corn, and the standard of the 
yellow varieties. The ears are very uniform, 6 to 7 inches 
long with b rows. The kernels are broad and evenly set; 
rich golden yellow in color, tender, sweet and palatable. 
Somewhat dwarf in habit, the plants measure -only about 
41/2 to 5 feet in height, usually yield two ears to the stalk. 
A sure cropper, very productive, and equally valuable 
for home or market garden. Ready for use in 75 days' 
Pkt., 7 cts.; i/ 2 lb., 19 cts.; lb., 33 cts.; 2 lbs., 58 cts., post- 
363 Early Evergreen 
A selected strain of Stowell’s 
Evergreen bred for earliness, it 
will produce edible ears a week 
to ten days earlier on the aver¬ 
age than the original. For this 
reason it is a valuable market 
sort providing a succession to 
the second early types. In other 
respects its qualities are prac¬ 
tically identical with Stowell’s; 
ears 7 V 2 inches long; 12 to 14 
rows; deep white luscious ker¬ 
nels, remaining in table condi¬ 
tion a long time. Ready for 
table in 80 to 85 days. A fa¬ 
vorite in northern, cooler lo¬ 
calities. Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 22 
cts.; lb.. 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 
370 Shumway’s New 
Golden Gem 
An entirely new variety developed by 
tlie North. Dakota Experiment Station, 
and the earliest yellow sweet corn on 
the market, producing ears in 62 days. 
The ear is about the same size as Sun¬ 
shine, but has only 8 to 10 rows. Qual¬ 
ity, tenderness, and sweet flavor are 
unsurpassed. The plant is exceedingly 
short, but vigorous and productive, is. 
certain to be a great favorite. Pkt., 
10 cts.; i/ 2 lb., 22 cts.; lb., 38 cts.; 2 lbs., 
postpaid

SPECIAL LOW PRICES 
to. Market Gardeners 
A grand early white corn. The 
ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather 
narrow kernels and are of very fine 
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long 
and large around, they look like well 
bred Evergreen yet they mature two 
to three weeks earlier. Market gar¬ 
deners find that the size, high yield 
(there are often two good ears on 
a stalk) and earliness make this a 
very profitable.kind to grow for mar¬ 
kets where a white corn is wanted. 
Eeady for use in 80 days. Pkt., 8 
cts.; i/ 2 lb., 19 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 
55 cts., postpaid. 
367 Shumway’s Golden 
Market 
One of the later introductions in 
early Sweet Corn maturing marketable 
crop in 63 days from time of planting. 
Ears 8 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, 
fine grained, delicious flavor, stalks 
4% feet high. I consider this the 
leader by far of all early yellow varie¬ 
ties of Sweet Corn. A sure money 
maker for market gardeners where a 
matter of 5 to 10 days in marketing a 
crop makes a tremendous difference in 
the value per dozen or 100 ears. Pkt v 
10 cts.; y 2 lb., 22 cts.; lb., 38 cts.; 
350 Golden Sunshine 
Eeady in 68 days. A quite new, 
remarkably fine, extra early va¬ 
riety, originated through selective 
breeding by Professor A. F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and stays in table quality 
for a greater length of time. The 
ear is about one inch longer and 
hq,s 10 to 12 rows instead of 8. The 
kernels are sweeter, more tender, 
and a lighter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its. earlier maturity, 
longer season, and superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban¬ 
tam and is displacing the latter in 
many markets. Pkt., 10 cts.; Vss 
lb., 22 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 
65 cts., postpaid.
