Golden Colonel Sweet Com 
T HIS 1936 Novelty is the most important Sweet Corn introduced 
since Golden Bantam. It is a cross of Country Gentleman and 
Golden Bantam, and can be thought of as a golden Country 
Gentleman. It took eleven years of crossing, back-crossing, inbreeding, 
and selection to perfect this wonderful Sweet Corn. 
In everything but color it is almost exactly like Country Gentleman: 
8-foot plants with cylindrical ears 
73^2 to 9 inches long and 3 to 334 
inches in diameter; shoe-peg kernels 
placed in a zigzag pattern; and 
matures in 91 days from day of plant¬ 
ing. The color is the rich golden 
yellow of Golden Bantam. Being the 
progeny of two varieties of the high¬ 
est quality, it, of course, has a deli¬ 
cious flavor. 
For the market gardener it fur¬ 
nishes the only Yellow Sweet Corn of 
its season, maturing with such stand¬ 
ard varieties as Early Evergreen and 
Country Gentleman. 
For the canner its golden shoe-peg 
kernels are especially pleasing in a 
whole-kernel pack, and cream-style 
pack of Golden Colonel has good 
consistency and smoothness. 
For the home gardener it furnishes 
the only Yellow Shoe-Peg variety, 
and that at a time when yellow Corn 
has heretofore been absent. 
This most distinctive addition to 
the Sweet Corn list in a quarter of a 
century received the coveted Award 
of Merit in the 1935 All-America 
Seed Selections. We offer a limited 
quantity of the seed at pkg. 20 cts.; 
3^1b. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25.
