PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS 
Perfection Brand Sweet Corn 
Corn, like anything else well worth having, takes a little care to produce. A few rows of corn will supply the 
average home with plenty of fine roasting ears and enough over for canning and drying to last through the winter. 
Be sure and plant Sweet Corn every ten days or two weeks and you will have a continuous supply of table corn in the 
right stage to enjoy the eating of it. A rich, warm soil is the best, but excellent Sweet Corn can be raised on any good, 
ordinary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. 
One pound of seed will plant about 100 hills. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam 
ADAMS EXTRA EARLY—A great favorite with those 
who wish the first corn of the season. Produces short 
ears, filled with tender, white kernels of fine flavor. Pkt. 
10c; lb. 30c, postpaid 
TRUCKER’S FAVORITE—For a second early corn to 
follow Adams Early, or for late planting to mature early, 
this is a good sort. In addition to being a fine corn, it 
makes an excellent field corn to plant late. Lb. 25c, post¬ 
paid. 
GOLDEN BANTAM—A new early sweet corn, considered 
by many people the richest and sweetest of all corns. 
Some of our customers who prefer this sort to all other 
kinds are planting it at regular intervals all during the 
season, so they may have a continued supply for their 
table. The stalks are of medium size, with heavy foliage, 
for forage. The ears are borne two to a stalk about 6 
inches in length and are eight-rowed. The kernels are 
of golden yellow color, which at first gives the impression 
of field corn. However, as soon as tasted there is imme¬ 
diately a call for more. Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c, postpaid. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM—An eight-row corn 
that is a decided improvement over the Golden Bantam. 
Has all the toothsome qualities of looks and taste, but 
the ears are larger (eight to ten inches long), and set 
up higher on a more sturdy stalk, from 5 to 6 feet high. 
It is as early as the Golden Bantam, more vigorous and 
productive. Our stock of seed is direct from the orig¬ 
inator. Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c, postpaid. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM—De¬ 
veloped by Glenn M. Smith and in¬ 
troduced jointly by the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture and Purdue 
University. Well adapted to can- 
ners’ use and excellent for market 
gardeners. It is replacing other 
main crop yellow varieties. Stalks 
sturdy, with exceptionally broad, 
vigorous leaves. Ears 10 to 14 
rowed, slightly yellower than Golden 
Bantam. Kernels medium in width 
and depth. Ears 7% to 8 inches in 
length. This hybrid is extremely 
uniform in plant and ear characteristics and in maturity. 
Highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. Matures 88 days. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c, postpaid. By freight or express, lb. 25c; 
10 lbs., $2.25. 
ADAMS EARLY—Has larger ears than the preceding; 
very popular in the South. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN—The most delicious of the 
late sorts. The medium-sized ears are covered with irregu¬ 
larly arranged, deep, sweet kernels. Very prolific, and 
well liked in some localities, where it is sold on the mar¬ 
ket as the “Shoe Peg”. Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c, postpaid. 
DELICIOUS TRUCKERS’ FAVORITE SWEET DENT— 
This is a cross of the Delicious Sweet Corn and Truckers’

with ears set well up from the ground. Makes roasting ears 
in 70 days. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, postpaid. By freight or ex¬

fifteen or more rows of deep, luscious kernels, and remain 
tender and fit for use longer than any other sort. Pkt. 
10c; lb. 35c, postpaid. 
Perfection Brand Improved Cucumber 
Plant as soon as the weather has become settled and warm, in hills 4 feet each way. Cucumbers succeed best in 
warm, moist, rich, loamy soil. Prepare the hills by mixing a shovelful of well-rotted manure with the soil; plant the 
seeds about half inch deep. When all danger of insect attack is over, thin to about three or four of the strongest 
plants to the hill. Do not allow any fruit to ripen on the vines, as this will cause them to stop bearing. 
EARLY FORTUNE—One of the best cucumbers for the 
market. Fruit is slightly tapering and about nine inches 
long. The firm, crisp, thick flesh is very white and has 
very few seeds. Early Fortune has a rich, dark green 
color which does not fade when shipped to distant markets. 
The vines are vigorous, very productive and blight re¬ 
sisting. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c; lb. $1.75, postpaid. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING—The strong vines, throwing out 
numerous tendrils, can be trained upon a trellis or poles, 
which will insure earlier ripening and a straight, hand¬ 
some form in the large fruits. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c, postpaid. 
CHICAGO PICKLE—Largely used by pickle manufac¬ 
turers. Prolific, short, with fruit of medium size, dark 
green color, and with prominent spines. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 
Y 4 lb. 60c, postpaid. 
IMPROVED KLONDIKE WHITE SPINE—The vines are 
very vigorous and productive; the fruit is of an attractive, 
deep glossy green color, with light spines running from 
blossom end. Most desirable for the market use. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c, postpaid. 
EARLY CLUSTER—Extra prolific sort; setting its fruits 
in clusters of two or three. The fruit is a dark green, 
short and particularly suitable for pickles. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
20c; % lb. 50c, postpaid. 
WEST INDIA GHERKIN—A very prolific, small fruited 
variety, used exclusively for pickling. It is not properly 
a cucumber, and is of no value for slicing. The fruits are 
2 to 3 inches in length, thick and rounded, closely covered 
with spines. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN—Most widely cultivated sort: 
unsurpassed for general use. The cucumbers average 10 
inches long when fully developed, and are fine for slicing. 
The smaller fruits make excellent pickles. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
30c; *4 lb. 80c; lb. $2.50, postpaid.

seeds. Matures in 70 days. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
3 4 lb. 50c, postpaid. 
MANDARIN—Matures in about 60 days. 
Earliest of any variety we have tried. This 
new variety, thanks to its Chinese blood, is 
also supreme in quality. It is 10 to 12 inches 
long. 114 to IYj inches in diameter, a deep 
green, with the crispness and flavor for which 
Chinese cucumbers are noted. Pkt. 10c; oz.
