Gould's Reliable Self Blanching* 
The seed is of French grown stock which has been 
brought to its present high standard of perfection after 
many years of careful selection. The stalks are tender, 
brittle and very fine flavored. It is almost double the 
size of the common strain. 
Salt Lake or Utah 
This is a new green celery that will fill a long-felt 
want. Growers who have grown it for the last two or 
three years are very enthusiastic regarding its tender¬ 
ness and keeping qualities. Salt Lake grows to a good 
height and produces stalks that are crisp and tender 
with a delicious flavor. This celery will bleach much 
quicker than any other green variety. It lb also very 
desirable for late storing. 
White Plume 
The earliest celery grown. It is hardy and requires very 
little effort to produce. Is in much demand for market 
on account of its fine appearance, also because it re¬ 
quires very little time for blanching. 
Golden Pascal 
This celery is very brittle and tender and requires care¬ 
ful handling to avoid bruising. Grows from 20 to 30 
inches high. 
Crispheart 
This is in a class with Easy Blanching. The color is 
darker green, and it is a taller growing plant. Blanches 
easily and is very crisp and tender. 
Non-Bolting Golden Plume 
This is a compact grower of upright habit. Very full 
hearts. Grows 18 to 24 inches in height. 
CHIVES 
Are hardy perennial plants of the onion type. The tops 
are used for flavoring. Quicker results are obtained by 
setting out plants than by seeding as seedlings will not 
do much the first year, while the sets or plants will 
multiply very rapidly. 
WITLOOF CHICORY 
Used as a winter salad. May be used as a Cos lettuce, 
and is delicious when served with French dressing. 
The plants form long parsnip-shaped roots that are lift¬ 
ed in the fall, trimmed of leaves, and stored in soil in a 
cool place until wanted for forcing. 
SWEET CORN 
Varieties Listed In Order of Earliness. 
CULTURE. Have your soil well prepared but do not 
plant sweet corn until the ground is warmed up thor¬ 
oughly. Then the early varieties may be planted in 
hills 30 inches apart both ways while the later varieties 
should be planted 3 to 3% feet both ways. Plant 5 or 
6 kernels to the hill from 1 to 2 inches deep. Cultivate 
to keep free from weeds, and when corn is well started 
thin to 4 stalks to the hill. 
Golden Gem* see Page 
This is the earliest yellow sweet corn Corn 
ever introduced. The stalks are very 
short and the ears come close to the 
ground; are small but of very good 
quality. 
Spanish Gold* 
This is also one of the earliest yellow 
sweet corns. It is a few days later but 
considerably larger both in stalk and 
ears than Golden Gem. 
Early Dow* 
Early Dow is the earliest white sweet 
corn on the market; about two to three 
weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This White Sweet Corn is much in de¬ 
mand until the yellow varieties become 
plentiful. 
Early Golden Market* 
A new Early yellow Sweet Corn that is 
very popular with the Market Gardeners. 
It is larger than Sunshine and about one 
week earlier. It is also a good yielder. 
Kingscrost Golden Bantam* 
A very early eight-rowed golden Sweet 
Corn, which has taken years of patient 
study and cross breeding to develop. It 
has a large, attractive ear, is very early 
and matures uniformly. 
Golden Sunshine* 
In this corn of a rich golden color we 
find a fine sweet variety maturing a week 
or ten days earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This is one of the earliest of all the 
yellow or “Golden Corns.” The ears are 
of equal size with Bantam but 12-rowed 
instead of 8. 
Gould’s Early Golden Giant* 
Gould’s Golden Giant excels all other Asgrow Golden 
early yellow varieties in size, produc- Colonel (Gold- 
tiveness and quality, and all of the late en Country 
varieties in quality and early maturity. Gentleman) 
Because of the extreme tenderness, com¬ 
bined with the rich exquisite sugary 
flavor, the Golden Giant has become the 
standard of perfection for sugar corn. 
Golden Bantam* 
Recognized by most 
sweetest corn grown, 
sized ear of beautiful 
nels. May be planted 
weeks until July 1st. 
productive. The plant 
high and it grows so 
may find a place in 
garden. 
Black Mexican 
This sweet corn is the sweetest of all 
and is noted for its delicious flavor and 
fine grain qualities. When in condition 
for table, this corn cooks clear white, but 
the ripe grain is bluish-black. Consider 
it a second-early variety.

Asgrow VJOlden Lolonel Gentleman) 
Received Award of Merit in the 1936 All 
America Vegetable Selections. Asgrow 
Golden Colonel is identical to Country 
Gentleman in every respect except for its 
bright yellow color. It has taken ten 
years to develop this new strain and to 
combine the fine flavor and rich golden 
color of the Bantam parent and peg type 
of kernel of Country Gentleman. 
Early Evergreen 
Although called Early Evergreen it is not 
real early, but rather should be classed as 
a late sweet corn. It is, however, the 
earliest of the late varieties. It produces 
large white ears of extra fine quality, 
which mature about 10 to 15 days ahead
