THIS IS NO TIME TO TAKE A CHANCE—BUY ONLY QUALITY SEED 
SUGAR or SWEET CORN 
First Introduced in 1830—Then One Variety 
One Lb. of Seed for 100 Yds. Twelve Lbs. to the Acre. Sixty-eight to 100 Days from Planting to 
Edible Condition. Breaks ground in 6 days. One inch high in 10 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
No one having a garden of over 150 square feet should be without a few hills of sweet corn. In our 
opinion, the best early roasting ear of garden corn is Landreths’ Earliest Table; the best early varieties of 
sweet corns are Spanish Gold, Whipples Yellow, and The Vanguard. For midseason or main crop, we 
especially recommend Bloomsdale Golden, Golden Cross Bantam, Howling Mob, Country Gentleman, 
Stowell’s Evergreen and Money Maker. Please note that the Hybrids and Top Cross Corn are all designated 
with a star ★. These corns are a very valuable asset to the Corn family. They are very uniform in growth 
and produce larger yields of extra fine quality ears. Highly recommended by all Corn experts. 
Country Gentleman 
Black Mexican—84 Days 
The dry kernels are black or purple. Medium in length. When at eating 
stage they are white. Height of stalk about 6| to 7 feet, ears medium length 
and thin, averaging 8 inches long, usually 8 rows. As sweet if not sweeter 
than Golden Bantam, and more tender. 
★Bloomsdale Golden (Golden Sunrise)—89 Days 
Grains medium length and golden in color. Height of stalk to 7 feet, ears 
long, mostly 10 to 14 rows, thin, average length 8 or 9 inches long, pointed. 
This is a new hybrid variety created by crossing Golden Bantam with Long 
Island Beauty, in 1925, by our Mr. Mills. Due to the confusion of our 
Golden Sunrise with Golden Sunshine and others of similar names, we have 
changed the name of Golden Sunrise to Bloomsdale Golden. The yield is only 
slightly less than Golden Cross Bantam, the ears are larger and thicker. 
★Bloomsdale Golden Top Cross (Top Crossed Golden Sunrise)—89 Days 
Known as Sun Cross, P. 39, in New England States. This is identical to 
Bloomsdale Golden except that one of the parents of Purdue Golden Cross 
Bantam is used as the pollen parent on the detasseled rows of Bloomsdale 
Golden. This makes a superior hybrid, very uniform and producing a high 
yield per acre. Resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease. 
Country Gentleman or Shoe Peg—95 Days 
Grains long and irregular, very narrow and white color. Stalks 5| to 6 ft. 
Ears medium length and thickness, averaging 6 to 7 inches, irregular rows. 
Considered by many one of the best sweet corns for family garden and one of 
the most popular varieties used by commercial canners. The silk on Country 
Gentleman ears is always very red, and it can easily be distinguished by this 
feature. Fairly resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease. 
★Country Gentleman Inbred Hybrid—95 Days 
This is identical in description to ordinary open-pollinated Country Gentle¬ 
man, but is superior in uniformity and high in yield. It is especially adapted 
to canners and market gardeners. 
Early Mayflower or White Cory—72 Days 
A first early sugar corn for home or market garden use. Height of stalk, 4§ 
feet. Ears about 5 inches long. 8 to 12 rowed. 
Evergreen Early White—88 Days 
Very deep, white grains. Height of stalk 7 feet. Slightly slimmer and 
shorter stalk than Stowell’s Evergreen. Broad, vigorous green foliage. Ears 
about 7 to 8 inches long, with 16 or more irregular rows. 
Evergreen, Stowell’s—90 Days 
Grains long and white in color. Height of stalk 
about 7 to 8 ft. Ears medium length and thick. 
Average 6 to 7 inches long and short pointed. 
Rows mostly 12 to 16. This is the standard variety 
of sweet corn, more of this variety being sold than 
any other. It is very popular for home, market 
gardeners and canners. Very productive. Fairly 
resistant to Stewarts Wilt Disease.
