This is a crop that never fails to bring profit¬ 
able returns to Florida truckers when put on 
the market early. 
Culture. Plant in well fertilized rows three 
feet apart, in hills every one and one-half feet 
in the row, leaving one or two plants in a place. 
When about knee high, apply 100 pounds Ammo 
Phos “B” and same amount again when the 
corn begins to silk and tassel. This fertilizer 
application will greatly increase the yield, and 
will bring your crop to earlier maturity. For 
bud worms, use one pound powdered Arsenate 
of Lead and four pounds Hydrated Lime. Drop 
a little in the bud. Ship in special corn crates, six 
to eight dozen to the package. Early plantings 
are made in Florida from January 1 until March. 
SWEET CORN VARIETIES 
g.. _ C„_ a „ (New) (80 days.) As the result of 
•wUVVttllllce JUgal, many years of breeding on the part 
1 of the Florida Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station, we are introducing this new variety which meets 
the need of a large sweet corn suitable for shipment. Long 
Island Beauty sweet corn was crossed with Early Snowflake, a 
popular roasting ear variety. Selection was practiced through 
several generations for a vigorous, large-eared, worm resistant, 
true sweet corn of good table quality. Suwannee Sugar is fully 
equal to Long Island Beauty in sweetness and high table qual¬ 
ity. It is also fully equal to Snowflake in resistance to ear 
worm damage. In vigor, ear size, yield, earliness, and other 
characteristics Suwannee Sugar is in general intermediate to the 
parent types. We predict this variety will make sweet corn 
production profitable in Florida and other southern states, and 
that it will become one of the most extensively grown varieties 
for shipment to northern markets. Vilb. 10c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 55c;

Cl/twirlo 1 Q1 l 75 day 8 -) This variety was developed by the 
r lonaa mi# Florida Agricultural Experiment Station and 
^in our tests has been found to be superior to 
other varieties of true sweet corn in yield of marketable corn 
and resistance to worm damage. This variety was developed by 
crossing true sweet corn with roasting ear varieties in order to 
secure the heavy yielding qualities and the long tight husk of 
the roasting ear type along with the high edible quality of the 
true sweet corns. This variety does not yield as heavily as true 
roasting ear varieties, but where high edible quality is preferred 
it is a most desirable variety to grow for home use and for local 
markets. Vilb. 10c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 55c; postpaid. Not prepaid,
