Our Seed Sweet Corn is carefully selected seed with ends carefully

a perfect stand of uniform Corn. In 10-lb. and 25-lb. lots, by mail post¬

Allen’s Choice. Or an improved Malakhoff which was brought to this country by 
the U. S. government from Russia, and was the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been 
grown by a local market gardener and carefully selected by him until he has a 
distinct variety of the Malakhoff of his own. After careful inspection we have 
made arrangements to supply our trade with this corn, calling it “Allen’s Choice.” 
the sweetest early Corn but the largest early Corn, better and earlier, by far, than Peep o’ Day. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. A beautiful yellow Corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both in 
size and in quality. Stalk grows from 5 to 6 ft high, ears 8 to 10 inches in length. As early 
as the Golden Bantam. It is a variety that is worthy of a trial by any market gardener, 
canner or garden maker. We consider it by our trial to be the best improved Golden Bantam 
yet put on the market. You will be getting both size and quality in this Corn, which took 
Mr. Barden 5 years to perfect and put on the market. 
Country Gentleman. A well-known and deserving old sort that has always been very popu¬ 
lar, due to its large, compact ears of irregular rows. 
De Lue’s Golden Giant Sugar Com. The famous winner of many horticultural prizes. 
This is no fake variety ; it is exactly what the gardener has been looking for. Of even better 
quality than Golden Bantam; will yield twice as much per acre as the Golden Bantam; 
larger eared and larger stalk, making it the most productive of the best yellow Sweet Corn 
in existence. We have purchased a limited quantity of this seed from the originator who 
stands back of the above description. This we offer in limited quantities. 
Golden Bantam. This is a Sweet Com of most exqusite quality, which when ready to use is 
of a bright golden yellow color. It looks rich and is rich and no mistake. It can be planted 
very early, as it is as hardy as the Extra Early Adams. The small stalks can grow closely 
together in the row and will produce 2 or 3 ears each. 
Golden Alpha. A new yellow variety, formed from a careful cross and selection from 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam and Ferry Alpha, the earliest white corn. Golden Alpha combines 
all the desirable qualities of Ferry Alpha with an appealing golden yellow color. The ears 
are 6 to 8 in. long, cylindrical and uniformly eight rowed. Stalks more sturdy and vigorous 
than the parent Alpha. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Wilt resistant—high yield—uniform. We recommend this new 
hybrid sweet corn for places where Stewart’s disease (wilt) 
makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties of sweet 
corn. This corn which is the product of crossing two pure 
lines is not only resistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s dis¬ 
ease) but produces larger crops of beautiful ears. The ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels, uniform in 
length (about 8 inches) and of excellent quality. Matures 
a week later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening 
at about the same time. This crossed seed was produced by 
the controlled pollination of two inbred parents in 1934 and 
will produce the true Golden Cross Bantam described above 
in 1935. Seed from the 1935 crop cannot be saved for 1936 
as it will break down. The cross has to be made each year. 
% lb., 15c; y z lb., 25c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
Golden Sunshine. (50 days). Blue skies and sunshine have 
combined their divinely guided chemistry to produce the 
nectar-like sweetness of this delicious golden corn. The ears 
are compact, about same size as Golden Bantam, but more 
refined in appearance, having from 10 to 12 rows of grains 
instead of 8 as Golden Bantam. It is a very rapid 
grower, and the earliest of the golden group. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Known everywhere. An 
old one but still king of the latest, considering 
everything.
