COLLARDS 
Cabbage Collards 
Leaves form in large loose bunches, form¬ 
ing a soft head. It is claimed to be a cross 
between collards and cabbage. Quality is ex¬ 
cellent, flavor same as cabbage and plant is 
as hardy as collards. Average height of 
plant, 1 Mi to 2 ft. 
True Georgia 80 days 
A vigorous variety growing 2 to 3 feet 
tall, carrying a loose head of large succu¬ 
lent leaves, which are used for greens. A 
light frost will improve the flavor. Grown 
extensively in the South in place of cab¬ 
bage. 
SWEET CORN 
Since 1884 Northrup, King & Co. have specialized in sweet corn. Throughout the 
period all the seed corn offered by this firm has been grown under the personal direction 
of its own staff of experts. Nearly all the strains of standard varieties have been improved 
and several new varieties have been propagated. During the last 20 years a new and more 
effective corn breeding method has been developed involving selections from self fertilized 
lines of inbred strains. Northrup, King & Co. commenced an extensive corn breeding pro¬ 
gram using this method in 1922 as soon as its superiority had been demonstrated. Con¬ 
sequently, Northrup, King & Co. is one of the first seed houses to offer combinations of 
sweet corn resulting from this modern method of corn breeding. 
Extra Early Varieties 
Early Minnesota 88 days 
An early sort of excellent quality. Ears 
are long, with 8 to 10 rows of large white 
grains. A large producer and desirable for 
market, home and canning uses. 
Extra Early Adams 80 days 
This is not a real sweet corn but is popu¬ 
lar for table corn in northern sections and 
is especially desirable for roasting ears. 
Makes excellent fodder in hot, dry summer 
months. 
Extra Early White Cory 7 5 days 
A popular large eared sort. Stalks grow 
about 5 ft., each generally bearing two 
large, finely shaped ears. Ears are 6 to 7 
in. long, 12-rowed. A market gardener’s 
favorite for early market. 
Extra Early Golden Bantam 7 6 days 
This is a recombination of 15 inbred 
strains of Golden Bantam from our own 
breeding grounds. The strains used were 
inbred since 1922. 
In our trial grounds this combination has 
been ready to eat approximately a week 
before ordinary Golden Bantam. The plants 
grow fully as tall and the strain comes into 
eating stage more uniformly than regular 
Bantam. 
The quality, color and width of kernel is 
quite superior. “Extra Early” Golden Ban¬ 
tam is adapted especially to home gardens, 
where early eating corn is desired. It is 
also profitable to market gardeners. This 
recombination can be carried along by seed 
selection from the crop just as with any 
normal variety. 
COMPARISON BETWEEN KINGSCROST AND ORDINARY GOLDEN BANTAM 
At the left is the product of two hills of Kingscrost Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. At the 
right is the crop of ordinary Bantam grown on the adjacent row. Note the greater uni¬ 
formity of the Kingscrost ears. Uniformity in maturity is also attained in Kingscrost.
