Corn, Sweet or Sugar 
One quart will plant about 200 hills. 
Plant Corn every three weeks from April to July, for 
succession, placing six seeds in a hill, the hills 3 feet 
apart each way, and covering one-half inch. When 
well up, thin to three plants to a hill. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. An 8-rowed, early, yellow 
Corn with ears 8 to 10 inches long, set up higher on 
a more sturdy stock than the Golden Bantam parent, 
but of equal sweetness, flavor and color and it ma¬ 
tures at the same time with a greater yield. 
Black Mexican. Medium early. The ears measure 
about 8 inches in length and are well filled with large, 
rather flat, bluish purple grains of deliciously sweet 
flavor. When fit for table use, the grains are white. 
Seed black, short, round, same size as Early Min¬ 
nesota. 
Crosby’s Early. Extra early. The medium sized ears 
are filled with very sweet, thick grains. A productive, 
vigorous, and hardy sort. Seed short, round. 
Country Gentleman (Shoe Peg). Late. The ears are 
of good size (7 to 9 inches long), and the cob is 
small, densely covered to the very tip with irregular 
rows of very long, tender, white kernels of delicious 
flavor when cooked. Stalks average 7 feet in height 
and frequently yield three ears each. Claimed by 
many to be the best flavored Sweet Corn and has 
long been a favorite of connoisseurs. Seed long, 
slender. 
Early Adams. Not a Sweet Corn, but grown for table 
use because of its earliness. The ears are medium in 
size, and at the proper stage for cooking the grains 
are tender, milky, and quite sweet. A robust grower 
and heavy yielder. Seed white, short, round, resem¬ 
bling Field Corn. 
Early Minnesota. A standard early sort of strong 
growth. The medium large ears are well filled with 
good sized, well flavored kernels. Seed white, short, 
medium size. 
Golden Bantam. Early. The ears are small (about 5 
inches) and the grains cream-yellow in color, but 
the delicious flavor and the tender quality when 
cooked is not surpassed by any other variety of 
Sweet Corn, and is fast making it one of the most 
popular for the home and market garden. The 
plants are dwarf, attaining a height of 3 to 4 feet and 
bearing two or more ears to the stalk. Seed golden 
yellow, short, round, germinating quickly and the 
plant comes into bearing early. 
Golden Sunshine. A Bantam type. A few days earlier 
than Golden Bantam. Stalks more dwarf; ears 12- 
rowed, about (S/i inches long. 
Early Evergreen. Resembles Stowell’s Evergreen in 
flavor, appearance and quality, but ripens 10 days 
earlier and remains in good condition as long as that 
variety. The ears usually measure 7 inches long. Seed 
same as Stowell’s Evergreen. 
Howling Mob. Medium early. One of the best fla¬ 
vored and most tender of the medium early varieties. 
The ears measure 7 to 9 inches in length, with 12 to 
14 rows of large, pearly white grains. The stalks 
usually produce at least two ears. This variety well 
merits its great popularity, both for the home and 
market garden. Seed yellowish, short, round. 
Kendel’s Early Giant. Second early. The largest eared 
Sweet Corn in its class, averaging 8 to 10 inches in 
length and having 10 to 12 rows of large grains of 
rich sugary flavor. The kernels are pure white and 
of fine quality. A favorite with both home and mar¬ 
ket gardeners. Seed yellowish, short, round. 
Late Mammoth. Very large ears which are thick 
through, with large, broad grains of rich sweet flavor. 
A very vigorous grower. Seed white, round. 
Mammoth White Cory. Early. A great improvement 
on the old White Cory. A very productive sort with 
large ears and white cobs. The grains are large and 
sweet. It is being more largely planted each year. 
Seed yellowish, round. 
Bantam or Golden Evergreen. One of the recent ad¬ 
ditions to the Sugar Corn family, one-third larger 
than Golden Bantam, 10 to 14 days later and will 
mature after that variety has passed the usable stage. 
Stalk l/ 2 to 8 feet high. Ears thick, 7 to 8 inches 
long. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Midseason. More largely planted 
than any other Sweet Corn, for home use, market,

size and are free from glaze and flintiness. The ears 
are large and very freely produced. It is an excep¬ 
tionally good canner and remains in good condition 
for cooking a long time. Seed white, long, large.
