GARDEN CORN 
(If by mail add 8c for first lb.; lc for each additional lb.) 
CULTURE —Plant 3 or 4 grains \y 2 inches deep, 2 feet apart 
in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the size and variety of 
the corn. When plants are 4 inches high thin out to 2 plants 
to the hill. For very early corn the hardiest and earliest va¬ 
rieties can be planted the latter part of March, if the weather 
is mild, but sweet corns are tender and should not be planted 
until April, or until the spring weather opens and the ground 
becomes thoroughly warm, as sugar corn has a tendency to rot 
in the ground if planted too early. It should be planted at in¬ 
tervals of every two weeks until July or August in order to 
have roasting ears for use during the entire season. One-half 
pound will plant 150 feet of row; 10 lb. to the acre. 
ADAMS EXTRA EARLY—This well known variety is the 
earliest and hardiest White Garden Corn. The ears are short 
and thick, and while rather small, they are usually ready 
about 7 weeks after planting. It can be planted close, as the 
stalks grow only about 4 feet high. This variety should be 
grown only on good land well fertilized. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; 
5 lbs. 60c; 10 lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs. $9.00. 
ADAMS’ EARLY —This is about a week or 10 days later than 
the Adams’ Extra Early, but has somewhat larger ears, 
measuring about 8 inches in length. The stalks are small, 
growing about 6 feet high. This is also a hardy corn and 
can be planted earlier than the sweet corns. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 
25c; 5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
IMPROVED ADAMS’ EARLY —This is an improvement on 
the old Standard Adams’ Early, the ears being larger, meas¬ 
uring from 11 to 12 inches and coming in about a week later. 
It is quite hardy and can be planted early. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 
25c; 5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
TRUCKER’S FAVORITE—A splendid second early hardy 
White Corn, coming in about a week later than the Improved 
Adams’ Early. It has deep white soft grains, tender and 
sweet, and makes a good size roasting; ear of beautiful mar¬ 
ket and table appearance. Not only is this one of the best 
corns for second early use, but it is also a good variety to 
plant late to mature corn quickly for stock feeding or for 
making meal. It may be planted as late as July 15th, and 
will then make good corn before frost. Lb. 15c; 2 lbs. 25c; 
5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
D. & B. SWEET DENT —A fine Second Early Corn of delicious 
flavor. The stalks are about 5 feet in height and produce 
early in the season two splendid ears to the stalk. The name 
refers to the loud and clamorous demand for it when on 
sale in the markets. Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. 
$1.40; 100 lbs. $12.00.
