Adams Early 
Qarden Corn 
Good corn can be grown by anyone who has good rich land, 
well manured, carefully prepared, and who cultivates his crop 
frequently. Prepare rows three feet apart and drop two or 
three kernels every twelve inches. Later thin to two feet apart 
in the row. Early and late plantings should be thicker than 
main crop, because at these seasons it is harder to get the seed 
to germinate properly. For the early plantings, the dent varie¬ 
ties are best, because they will stand more cold, wet weather 
than the sugar corns. For main crop, however, there is noth¬ 
ing better than sugar corn. 
47 — BLAND’S EXTRA EARLY. —Said by many growers to 
be the very earliest corn in cultivation. It makes a small stalk 
and medium size ear, but comes in about two weeks ahead of 
most early corns, and proves most welcome for the first and 
last plantings of the season. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 25c, 5 lbs. 95c, 10 lbs, $1.45, postpaid. 
40 — ADAMS EXTRA EARLY. —A popular variety for the 
early planting that is noted for its hardy nature. It will with¬ 
stand both cold and wet to a remarkable degree and produce 
a good crop of medium sized ears. Practically as early as the 
Bland *s. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 25c, 5 lbs. 95c, 10 lbs, $1.45, postpaid. 
41 — ADAMS EARLY. —A very early, but exceptionally large 
strain of the Adams corn and we believe it to be the best for 
early plantings. This variety comes just about a week later 
than the Adams Extra Early, but makes a very large ear. It 
is a dent variety, but produces a corn of tender, delicious 
quality. For both market and home growers it is a valuable 
variety and should be planted liberally for early use. Stalks 
grow about six to eight feet tall and bear from one to three 
large ears. Matures in about 65 days. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 25c, 5 lbs. 90c, 10 lbs. $1.40, postpaid. 
42 — TRUCKERS FAVORITE. —The most popular of all the dent corns. 
It makes a good tall stalk with large ear and matures about one week later 
than the Adams Early. It makes a most desirable field corn for late plant¬ 
ing or for market. Its yield is as good as the average field corn and it 
matures in about eighty days. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 25c, 5 lbs. 90c, 10 lbs. $1.40, postpaid. 
44 — SILVER KING. —A large heavy yielding variety of dent corn that 
comes in just after Truckers Favorite and makes such a good yield that it 
surpasses most varieties of field corn. For the main crop market, Silver 
King will be profitable. Grows a good strong stalk that has from two to 
four large ears. Medium wide, deep, white grains set in straight rows. 
Matures in about 85 days. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 20c, 5 lb. 60c, 10 lbs. $1.00, postpaid. 
50 — DE LUES GOLDEN GIANT. —This new variety is so far superior 
to the old Golden Bantam that we have discontinued the old sort. This 
sort has all of the good points of the Bantam and is much larger and better 
corn. The stalks are of medium size and very prolific. The ears are much 
larger but retain the fine flavor of the Golden Bantam and have the same 
small cob and large golden grains. It is a little earlier than Adams Early 
and the earliest sugar corn we know, which makes it valuable to both home 
and market growers. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.10, 10 lbs. $1.75, postpaid. 
46 — STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. —We have never seen any sweet corn 
that possessed the robust stalk, large ear, and good quality corn that this 
one does. It is medium early and makes an excellent sort for main crop use> 
and is the best of all for canning. It will remain longer in the edible stage 
than any other. The stalks are as tall and robust as those of field varieties 
with large leafy fodder and bearing several ears each. The ears are the 
largest of any of the sweet corns, with long rows of large white kernels set 
straight upon the cob. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.10, 10 lbs. $1.75, postpaid. 
45 — COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. —One of the most popular main crop 
sweet corns in cultivation. Stalks grow tall and bear several large ears of 
from eight to ten inches, which are irregularly crowded with pearly white 
grains. The grains are very small and long. Cob small. The only objection 
to it is in the fact that the seed being so narrow and wrinkled makes it hard 
to germinate as good as other corns. Therefore, when planting it, use moie 
seed. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.10, 10 lbs. $1.85, postpaid.
