Sweet Corn 
One Fonnd for 150 hills, 10 to 12 lbs. in hills for an acre. 
CULTURE—Plant in rows 3 feet apart in hills 3% feet 
apart, drop in each hill 4-5 seeds, later thin out to two plants 
in each hill. Closer planting than this means, even on rich 
ground, less and smaller ears. Plant deep, 3 to 4 inches, so 
that in case of frost the plants will have a chance to come up 
from the root which unless the frost is very severe are un¬ 
hurt. 
. ic > o * .1 n ••> Best varieties in 
Which oweet Corn Is the Best: yellow are: Golden 
Early Market the earliest. Sunshine, extra early and large 
eared, Golden Rod with heavy ears of very high quality, 
Whipple’s Yellow, a wonderful variety, ears of largest size 
sweet and tender. In white Sweet Corn the leaders are May¬ 
flower, Early Reliance, Vanguard and September Morn. 
The finest sort for the South is Kendell’s Early Giant. 
Southern growers should also try Early Adams which is a 
field corn variety passing for sweet corn, lacks quality but 
is very early. Seldom attacked by the worm and a good 
seller. 
SWEET CORN EARLY RELIANCE 
Ears of Good Size—Quality First Class 
EXTRA EARLY 
Ready for the market days ahead of Evergreen, ears the 
size of Evergreen and every bit as good as Evergreen in 
quality and sweetness. 
Ready for the market days ahead of any other variety 
of anywhere near its size. Not only is Reliance distinctively 
earlier but the ear is of good size with white grain of really 
good quality. The plant growth seldom exceeds four feet in 
height, the ears borne close to the ground 7 to 8 inches in 
length, blocky in shape and well filled with glistening white 
grains in rows of 12 to 14. A real sweet corn, which we 
recommend unhesitatingly to all gardeners being convinced 
beyond the shade of doubt that Early Reliance will make 
money for them and help to make the business of gardening 
more interesting and worth while. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, prepaid.

to 14 days before Golden Bantam, ears 9 inches long 12-14 
rowed, kernels broad, meaty, sweet, golden yellow in color.

the equal of Golden Bantam, ears larger, ready much earlier 
two to three ears on a stalk, a variety that as we said will 
pay to grow. Pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $1.60; 100 lbs. $14.00. 
SWEET CORN EARLY GOLDEN ROD 
Early—Ears Long—Heavily Productive 
A wonderful new, early yellow-eared variety. Ears from 
8 to 10 inches in length, with twelve to eighteen rows of deep, 
golden yellow, lusciously sweet kernels. The kernels are in 
absolutely straight lines on the cob and nicer looking ears 
are hard to imagine. Ready 3 to 4 days after Golden Bantam 
and in quality no other sweet corn is its equal. A variety that 
will sell no matter at what time it is placed on the market. 
The ears of Golden Rod remain tender, in milky condition 
longer than any other known sort and the stalks bear never 
less than two perfect ears and quite often three. We knew 
about the existence of Golden Rod Sweet Corn for a number 
of years but it was impossible to secure the seed. Now we 
have the seed and we know that by offering you this high 
class variety we are rendering you real service. Pkt. 10c;

EARLY MAYFLOWER 
Produces on stalks 4 feet tall, two fully developed, large 
and heavy ears which are twelve rowed with white grains of 
fair depth and width. In season Mayflower closely follows 
Early Reliance, in other words it is an extra early corn and 
considering its earliness its quality is high. The ears have 
long overlapping husks and appear to be larger than they 
really are. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, prepaid. Unprepaid: 10 lbs. $1.20; 
25 lbs. or over 10 cents per lb. 
SUNSHINE SWEET CORN

stalks about 7 feet tall 2 or 3 ears, heavier in size than Golden 
Bantam, with broad kernels, very sweet and tender, 6 to 10 
days ahead of Golden Bantam. Will there be a demand for 
a corn of this type when brought to the market 10 days 
ahead of Golden Bantam? You cannot ignore a corn like 
that. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, prepaid. F. O. B. 10 lbs. $1.20; 100 lbs. 
$ 10 . 00 . 
GOLDEN BANTAM 
Small ears, symmetrical, with yellow kernels which at first 
give the impression of field corn, but after tasting it, it proves 
to be real Sweet Corn and of exceptionally good quality. Med¬ 
ium-early. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, prepaid. 10 lbs. $1.20, 100 lbs. 
$ 10 . 00 .

green, producing ears fully as long and heavy as those 
of Evergreen. Quality excellent. Heavily productive. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c, prepaid. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $1.20. 
SWEET CORN TENDERGOLD 
Resistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s disease). Will stand un¬ 
affected on diseased ground with diseased corn fields all around. Of 
the many wilt resistant hybrids developed by the various Agricultural 
Stations Tendergold is regarded as the best. 
Ears 12-rowed, 8 inches long. Golden Bantam type, but twice as 
productive. It is claimed that this new hybrid corn commands a 
premium on the market because in tenderness and succulence it has 
no rival and because it holds its fine quality two to three days longer 
than other corns. Compares favorably with the Evergreens in can¬ 
ning cost. Market gardeners report customers insisting on this corn 
after one trial. Try It. Pkt- 10c; lb. 40c, prepaid. Not prepaid: 5 lbg. 
$1.50. ---
