SWEET CORN 
We have devoted a great deal of time and study to the improvement 
of our stocks of Sweet Corn. Not only have we given care to the selec¬ 
tion and improvement of our types, but we have been most careful in 
testing our stock seed, ear by ear, for root rot and other troublesome 
diseases, and then by ear to row plantings have been able to check the 
results obtained, eliminate disease if found, and improve our types 
as well.

EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
ADAMS' EXTRA EARLY (80 days)—Not a sugar corn, but largely grown for 
early use; hardy, standing early planting, and the thick, hard husks prevent 
entrance of the corn worm. Ears 7 to 8 inches long, 12-rowed. Our strain is 
superior in earliness, size of ear. and dwarf habit to any other stock ever in 
our trials. 
EARLY MARKET (60-day Make Good)—A first early corn with decided merit 
for the market gardener, being the first large-eared white sweet corn in the 
market. Plant growth about S 1 /^ feet, ears close to the ground. Ears 6 to 7 
inches long, blocky in form, 12 to 14 rowed, with exceptionally white grain. 
GOLDEN BANTAM (80 days )—Illustrated preceding page. Early, golden yellow 
in color and of highest quality. Ears 6 to 7 inches long, 8-rowed. Our stock 
has been most carefully selected and is superior to much that is offered and 
we know by experience that it has given satisfaction to thousands of planters. 
GOLDEN GEM (71 days)—The earliest yellow or golden eared corn, being a 
week earlier than Sunshine, of more dwarf habit, and possessing a sweet, 
8-rowed ear equal in size to Golden Bantam, although two weeks earlier than 
that variety. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE (70 days)—A very early corn of the Golden Bantam type, 
maturing a week to ten days earlier than that variety. More dwarf in habit 
than Bantam, with ears 8 inches long, containing 12 rows of broad, yellow 
sweet grains. Especially desirable for its extreme earliness.
