Leonard's Golden Hummer. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow. A remarkable yellow 
sweet corn of much merit. While the stalks grow 
6 feet or more in height and the 10 to 14-rowed 
ears are 7 to 8 inches in length, this variety ma¬ 
tures only 3 days later than Golden Bantam. The 
kernels are broad, deep, and of excellent quality.

De Lite’s Golden Giant. A second early variety 
producing ears 7 to 8 inches long, 14-rowed. 
Kernels golden yellow, medium in size and of fair 
quality. Ready for market in 82 days. Pkt., 10c; 
V 2 lb., 15c; lb., 30c. 
White Cob Cory. Medium early white variety; 
cob 6 V 2 to 7 inches with 8 to 10 rows of good 
flavored, white kernels. Ready for market in 75 
days. Pkt., 10c; V 2 lb., 15c; lb., 30c. 
Culture. Do not plant Corn in cold ground as the 
seed is liable to rot. About the middle of May, plant 
corn in hills 3 to 4 feet each way, dropping 8 to 
10 seeds to a hill, later thinning to 3 stalks; or plant 
in 3- or 4-foot rows, dropping 3 or 4 seeds to the 
foot, later thinning to stand 1 foot apart in the rows. 
Seed should be covered Yz inch on heavy soil to 1 
inch on light, sandy soil. One pound will plant 
100 hills or 200 feet of row and 7 to 10 pounds plant 
an acre. Plant every two weeks up to July 15tn for 
a continuous supply. 
Sweet Corn 
LEONARD’S GOLDEN HUMMER. The largest and earliest of 
the Yellow Sweet Corns and one of the best for market gardeners 
as well as home gardeners. Ears 6 J /2 to 7 inches, 12-rowed, kernel 
golden yellow, medium deep, broad and of excellent flavor. 
Ready for the table in 60 days. Pkt., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 40c. 
Tendergold. A very fine F. 1 . hybrid of outstanding quality intro¬ 
duced by us after years of research. Four days earlier than 
Golden Bantam and generally twice as productive, the attractive 
8 -inch 12 'rowed ears command a premium on the market. For 
tenderness and succulence we have never seen its equal and 
it holds this fine quality 2 to 3 days longer than other corns. 
Produces heavy crops in areas where Golden Bantam succumbs 
to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s Disease). Compares favorably with 
the Evergreens in canning cost. Market gardeners report custom¬ 
ers insisting on this Corn after one trial. Pkt., 10 c; 34 lb., 25c; 
lb., 50c. 
Golden Cross. This remarkable new F. 1 . hybrid represents the 
greatest advance in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was intro¬ 
duced. It is a bright yellow, 12 -rowed corn with 8 -inch ears, 
borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully equal to 
Golden Bantam in every way, matures six days later and is two 
to three times as prQductive. In addition this corn is very resistant 
to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s Disease which often 
causes failure with other early yellow sweet corns. We cannot 
recommend this corn too highly for canners and table use. 
Pkt., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; lb., 50c. 
LEONARD’S EARLY. Ready for the market in 60 days. The 
stalks are short and stocky, usually producing 2 large, handsome, 
12-rowed ears on each stalk. The corn is a beautiful waxy white, 
of a wonderful sweet flavor and is ready for market so much 
ahead of the other early varieties that it brings a high price on 
the market. We strongly recommend this variety of Sweet Corn. 
Pkt., 10 c; ^2 lb., 20 c; lb., 40c. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. This is a cross of Golden Bantam 
and Early Wonder, an 8 -rowed sweet corn and has the sweetness 
and the color of the old reliable Golden Bantam and all the 
toothsome qualities of looks and taste but with this welcome 
improvement that the ears are larger, 8 to 10 inches long and 
set up higher on a more sturdy stalk, the stalk being from 5 to 6 
feet. Ready for the market in 76 days. Pkt., 10 c; lb., 15c; 
lb., 30c.
