SWEET CORN 
Market gardeners and private owners will do well to consider that our North¬ 
ern grown seed will give them earlier corn than will seed of the same varieties 
grown farther south. Our seed is thoroughly tested before it leaves our hands. 
Don’t Plant Sweet Corn Deep 
Sweet corn should not be planted over one inch deep; most people plant two 
or three inches deep—most sure to rot. Also do not plant too early. Not as 
early as field corn. 
TENDERGOLD —A very fine hybrid of 
outstanding quality introduced by us after 
years of research. Four days earlier than 
Golden Bantam and generally twice as pro¬ 
ductive, 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. Pro¬ 
duces heavy crops in areas where Golden 
Bantam succumbs to bacterial wilt (Stew¬ 
art’s Disease). Compares favorably with the 
Evergreens in canning cost. Market garden¬ 
ers report customers insisting on this corn 
after one trial. % lb., 25c; lb., 45c. 
GOLDEN CROSS —This remarkable new 
F-l hybrid represents the greatest advance 
in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was in¬ 
troduced. 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 pro¬ 
ductive. In addition this corn is very re¬ 
sistant to the bacterial wilt known as Stew¬ 
art’s Disease which often causes failure with 
other early yellow sweet corns. We cannot 
reccommend this corn too highly for can- 
ners and table use. lb., 25c; lb. 45c. 
Sweet or Sugar Corn 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
EXTRA EARLY ADAMS — While not 
properly a sweet corn, it is used as such be¬ 
cause of its very early and hardy nature. 
Market gardeners depend on this sort for 
their first “roasting ears.” It can be planted 
long before it is safe to plant other varieties. 
% lb., 15c; lb., 25c. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE— This is a cross 
between Golden Bantam and Early Market, 
a white variety. It is a week earlier than 
Bantam, plants are slightly smaller. Ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of creamy yellow grain 
and are surprisingly large for an early va¬ 
riety. % lb., 20c; lb., 30c. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —Of extreme hardi¬ 
ness; can be planted earlier than any other 
true sweet corn and will then produce the 
earliest supply of ears for the table. Extra 
fine in quality. lb., 15c; lb., 25c. 
WHITE MEXICAN —White Mexican is a 
heavy yielding, early maturing sweet corn. 
It ranks in a class with White Cob Cory and 
is a better yielder. Height four feet; ear 
about six and one-half inches long. Quality 
good. lb., 15c; lb., 30c.
