Golden Bantam. 
Mountain Grown Sweet Corn 
THE DIFFERENCE. The names of the varieties which we list are the same as those listed by other re¬ 
liable seed companies. They are the same varieties. But they have been grown in the mountains at alti¬ 
tudes of 5000 to 6000 feet and they will mature earlier. Ten days earlier may not seem a great difference, 
but in many localities this is over ten per cent of the growing season. Do you, market gardeners, want to 
get your Corn on the early, high priced market? Do you, home gardeners, want to have Sweet Corn when it 
is still considered a luxury? There is nothing in the vegetable kingdom hailed with as much delight, looked 
forward to with as much anticipation, as juicy Sweet Corn. 
THE SWEETEST CORN cannot be purchased, it must be home raised. It should be gathered for the table 
or for canning not more than two hours before it is cooked, as the quality and sweetness are injured by keep¬ 
ing longer than this. Sweet Corn is in the proper stage for gathering when the grains are plump and just 
entering the dough stage. 
Culture. One pound to 400 feet of row; 10 pounds per acre. Rows should be laid off about three feet apart 
and seeds sown 1 to iy 2 inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. Or plant in hills 3 feet apart each 
way, leaving three plants to a hill. Growers often plant early corn before the normal season. Then, if the 
crop escapes frost, it matures earlier and is correspondingly valuable. 
If it is killed it may be cheaply planted again. In the home garden it 
is well to have a succession of plantings to supply 
the table during the season.
