SWEET CORN 
Culture Corn can be grown on almost any soil provided it is reasonably fertile and deeply worked. Sweet corn should not 
be planted until the danger of heavy frost is past, and the main crop or late sorts should not be planted until the ground is quite 
warm, sweet corn being more sensitive to cold than field corn. 
If planted in hills, for early varieties the hills should be three feet apart each way, for later varieties 3to 4 feet apart each 
way, dropping four to six kernels in each hill. When six inches high, thin to three or four plants in a hill. Hoe frequently and 
give frequent but shallow cultivation until the tassels appear. One half pound for 100 feet; 15 lbs., per acre. 
If planted in rows, have the rows three to four feet apart, dropping the seed a foot to a foot and a half apart. 
A bushel of sweet corn weighs 50 pounds. Field corn is listed elsewhere. 
Early Yellow Sensation 
SPANISH GOLD A new and very early yellow sort originated by the 
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, from whom we received our 
seed stock. The Station furnishes us with the following data: Stalks grow 
5 to 6 feet high; ears (husked) 6 to 7 inches; rows vary from 8 to 12, 
mostly 10; time to maturity is about 68 days. The flavor is comparable to 
that of Golden Bantam, which is remarkable in a corn so early as this. 
Spanish Gold merits a trial by all who want an extra early yellow corn with 
some size and good flavor. Lb., 25c; 12)4 lbs., $2.75; 50 lbs., $10.00. 
GILL'S EARLY MARKET (60 Day Make Good) 
An extremely early white corn, with ears up 
to 8 inches long, 12 to 14 rows, the length 
and quality being remarkable for such an 
early corn. Maturity is in about 66 days, 
though it must be remembered that all corns 
depend upon weather, fertility of the 
soil, latitude, etc. Lb., 25c; 12)4 lbs., $2.75; 
50 lbs., $10.00. 
EXTRA EARLY YELLOW An extra early 
yellow variety, maturing about the same 
time as Sensation, and of very fine quality. 
Its flavor is comparable to that of Golden 
Bantam, which has no equal as to flavor. 
The ears are good size and attractive. Lb., 
25c; 12)4 lbs., $2.75; 50 lbs., $10.00. 
EARLY YELLOW SENSATION A new va¬ 
riety, and one of the earliest yellow varieties, 
being ready for the first picking in about 75 
days. The ear has 12 to 16 rows and is 6 to 
8 inches long. The quality is far better than 
most early varieties. Lb., 25c; 12)4 lbs., 
$2.75; 50 lbs., $10.00. 
EARLY COLUMBIA This is one of the most 
popular early white corns we have ever had 
the good fortune to grow. The ears are eight 
inches long, filled with plump sweet kernels 
to the very tip end. About 25% of the stalks, 
which reach a height of 5)4 to 6 feet, bear 
two fine ears. Matures in about 72 days. 
Lb., 25c; 12)4 lbs., $2.75; 50 lbs., $10.00. 
Spanish Gold 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET Originally a cross between Golden Bantam and Gill’s Early Market. The ear 
is 12 rowed and 6)4 to 7 inches long. This makes a fine early market garden variety, its appearance made 
more attractive by reason of the long husks. Matures in about 75 days. Lb., 25c; 12)4 lbs., $2.75 ; 50 lbs., $10.
