SWEET CORN 
Everbearing 
If You Want Delicious Corn on Your Table the Fourth of July Plant 
This Extremely Hardy, Early Maturing, Large Eared Sort 
We have produced in this early corn a variety which stands alone as 
a money maker. It is in the same class as the Earliest of All Sugar 
Corns, considerably larger and, best of all, contains a sweetness equal to 
most true sugar varieties. It has the power of germination under con¬ 
ditions where all others have failed and can safely be planted much 
earlier than any true sugar corn on account of its extreme hardiness. 
It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sand or heavy clay. 
It is as large as Stowell’s Evergreen. The fodder grows 6 feet high. 
The ears are of good size and covered with kernels clear to the end of 
the cob. Each stalk will produce one to two well developed ears. Now, 
if these are picked when mature, one or two and even four more ears 
will set and develop on the same stalk during the next two to four weeks.

Improved Adams Early 
A Popular Sort for Roasting Ears 
While not a sweet corn, this is a tender corn often used for the table, 
particularly in the South. The ears are about 8 inches long, 12 to 14- 
rowed, and the kernels are white, somewhat deeper than broad and in¬ 
dented at the outer end. The stalks are about 6 feet high. Can be 
planted earlier than any Sweet Corn. Pkt. 7c; Vi lb- 18c; lb. 30c; 2 lb. 
55c, postpaid. 
Best of All 
The Largest Eared Sugar Corn. Early, Prolific, Sweet, Tender, Large, 
Handsome 
“Best of All” is of exceptionally stocky growth and an abundant and 
satisfactory yielder; ears of large size; kernels very broad and especially 
sweet, rich, white and tender. Not only is it valuable for family use, 
but for early market and shipping purposes it is also in the lead. And 
we can highly recommend it for all general purposes. Pkt. 8c; Vz lb. 20c; 
lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid. 
New Golden Sunshine 
The 12 Rowed Golden Bantam. Early—Sweet—Prolific—Good Size 
This new Sweet Corn is a wonderful improvement over the popular 
Golden Bantam, as it is larger, sweeter, has 12 rows instead of 8 and is 
from 10 days to two weeks earlier. The flavor leaves nothing to be 
desired, as it is rich and sweet and never becomes tough and woody. 
Pkt. 8c; 1/2 lb. 23c; lb. 40c; 2 lb. 75c, postpaid. 
Black Mexican 
Delicious Sweetness. Cooks Clear White 
This corn, when very young, cooks remarkably white, but the ripe 
grain is bluish black. For home use we consider it the best second early 
sort where tenderness and sweetness are the qualities most desired. It 
does specially well as a second early variety in the South. The stalks 
are about 6% feet high. The ears are about 8 inches long and are usu¬ 
ally eight rowed. Pkt. 8c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lb. 65c, postpaid. 
Country Gentleman 
Golden Cross 
This variety is often called the “Shoe Peg” Corn, owing to 
the arrangement of the crowded kernels, which are long and 
very sweet. Considered by many the best of the late varie¬ 
ties, as it remains tender and fit for use longer than most 
sorts, as the ear is enclosed in a thick husk, which keeps it 
“in the milk.” Slender, very deep, white, very tender and 
lusciously sweet. Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, 
postpaid. 
TWO NEWEST HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
Kingscrost Golden Bantam 
(Market Gardeners Strain) 
—This variety matures in 73 days, and is from a week to ten days 
earlier than the ordinary Bantam strains, and has the true eight 
row Bantam ears. It is much more uniform in maturity and plant 
characters. Foliage is of darker green color, enabling it to resist 
drought better. It grows almost as tall as the ordinary variety 
and ears are nearly as large. Its quality is excellent and it is a 
favorite with market gardeners who prefer the true eight row 
Bantam type. Gardeners usually pick the entire crop for market 
at one picking. Pkt. 15c; lb. 30c; 1 lb. 50c, postpaid. 
Golden Cross 
Here is a fine new variety that is an improve¬ 
ment in every way over the ordinary Golden Ban¬ 
tam. A week later than Golden Bantam; grows 
4% to 5 feet tall. Ears are larger and longer, 
and instead of 8 rows has 10 to 14 or 16 rows of 
tender, rich, full-flavored yellow kernels, some¬ 
what lighter than regular Bantam. Produces 
almost twice the yield of Golden Bantam and in 
every way is a wonderful new Sweet Corn. 
Pkt. 15c; /2 lb. 30c; 1 lb. 50c, postpaid.
