Gill’s Early 
Golden Market 
This matchless Sweet Corn is a cross between Golden Bantam and Early 
Wonder, the result of which is a Bantam Sweet Corn with all the qualities 
and sweetness of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but with larger ears set 
up higher on the stalk. Ears 8 to 10 inches long, filled with 8 rows of broad, 
rich, golden yellow kernels. Stalk 5 to 6 feet high. Critical market and 
home gardeners and canners have long been looking for a Bantam Sweet 
Corn with these improved qualities. One of the big canning companies re¬ 
ports that Barden’s Wonder Bantam produces one-third more tonnage per 
acre than any other Bantam Corn they have ever grown, and will consider 
using no other in the future. Tests each year have proved it to be as early 
as Golden Bantam and much more vigorous and productive. Pkt., 10c; y 2 
pt., 17c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c; 2 qts., 90c, postpaid. By express, not prepaid,

The earliest white Sweet Corn, maturing 8 to 10 days ahead of 
Golden Bantam. Quality superior to that of most varieties of 
extra early Corn; extremely hardy; can be planted early, with¬ 
standing cold, wet weather to a wonderful degree. Ears of good 
size for so early a variety; kernels pure white, sweet and tender.

ears to the stalk. Highly recommend this variety for home use,

We take pride in our select strains of Sweet Corn, which are from five 
to ten days earlier than the same varieties produced farther south or west. 
Tljis means a great deal to the gardener who wishes to "have his corn first 
on the market, for it is then that the best prices are obtained. Our Northern 
Grown Sweet Corn is also noted for its sweetness, being much sweeter than 
Western corn. While our prices may be a trifle higher than those charged 
by seedsmen who handle Western Corn, the extra price you will pay will be 
a most profitable investment. No matter where-you live, your best assurance 
of an extra early crop of Sweet Corn of the best quality is to plant our 
carefully grown seed. Our seed will meet the requirements of the most critical 
market garden trade. 
GOLDEN EVERGREEN. The best main crop variety, the re¬ 
sult of a cross between Stowell’s Evergreen and Golden Bantam, 
possessing all the splendid qualities of both of these popular 
varieties and better than either. It is the finest and sweetest 
corn ever introduced. The ears are as large as Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green and is of true Evergreen habit, remaining equally as long 
a time in good cooking condition. It is of the same color as 
Golden Bantam, and has all the delicious qualities of that 
variety, with an added sweetness and superior flavor. About 5 
days later than De Lue’s Golden Giant, or half way between 
Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. For the home garden 
and fancy market trade this corn has no equal. Pkt., 10c; y 2 
pt., 17c; pt., 30c; qt., 53c; 2 qts., 95c, postpaid. By express, 
not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $13.00. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. The standard main crop variety 
in all sections. Michigan grown Stowell’s Evergreen is recog¬ 
nized everywhere as the best type of its class. Our strain is 
large eared, hardy, productive, sweet and tender, and remains a 
long time in cooking condition. Pkt., 10c; y 2 pt., 17c; pt., 30c; 
qt., 50c; 2 qts., 90c, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$1.40; 25 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $12.00. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. The sweetest of all white varie¬ 
ties. Due to the irregular arrangement of the kernels on the 
cob, it is an excellent sort to grow where worms bother the 
ears, for instead of working a row into the center of the ear, 
the worms have no row to follow and work around the end of 
the cob. Very prolific, rarely producing less than three ears to 
the stalk. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length and grain is 
very deep. Has delicious flavor all its own. A week later than 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Pkt., 10c; y 2 pt., 17c; pt., 30c; qt., 53c; 
2 qts., 95c, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.50; 
25 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $13.00.
