SWEET 
CORN 
Mammoth Golden Dawn 
A Wonderfully Fine New 
Yellow Sweet Corn 
In this new variety we have a yellow Sweet Corn of real merit that has 
proven an excellent sort for succession planting. Our prediction as to its 
popularity has come true, for it has made good. In fact, it has more than 
exceeded our hopes. 
In habit of growth the plant resembles its parent, Golden Dawn, attain¬ 
ing about 5 feet in height. However, the stalks grow stronger than it or 
Golden Bantam, and usually bear two good eating ears apiece. 
The ears are 9 to 10 inches long and are full of sweet, juicy kernels from 
butt to tip, with the delicious flavor of Golden Dawn. Each has 14 to 1G 
rows of fine-grained, tender golden kernels on a white cob, coming into prime 
eating condition at the same time ns Crosby. Mammoth Golden Dawn 
satisfies the need of a large ear of the finest flavor for first early ripening. 
The picture shows a typical ear. When dry the grains are firm and 
solid, permitting of as early planting as Golden Bantam. The color is a 
rich golden yellow. 
Its habit of growth makes it especially desirable for the home garden 
where quantity, quality and productiveness are essential. Plant in succession 
from early to late, and enjoy its fine flavor during the whole season.

Crosby Extra Early 
The True Josiah Crosby Strain 
It is our good fortune to again offer seed of this splendid variety that we know to be grown from the original 
stock that Schlegel & Fottler sold so successfully for years. 
Their stock was grown by Josiah Crosby himself and sold exclusively by them to their trade, including the 
Maine canners who prized it as the best to be had. It is still unequalled for this purpose. 
What we now offer has all the good qualities of that original favorite which has continued to satisfy critic: 1 
trade year after year. 
The plants are very dwarf, not growing over iy 2 feet in height, and the ears are set very low. Being of this 
dwarf habit, the hills can be set closely together in the garden so that the yield per given space will average well 
in comparison with large-eared sorts. It comes into bearing immediately after the Red Cory, which it far sur¬ 
passes in flavor and quality. 
The ears are from b]/ 2 to 7 inches in length, with 12 to 1G rows of short square grains that taper to the cob. 
The grains are very white, sweet and tender, and retain all their good qualities when canned. 
We are confident that the many friends of former days will appreciate an opportunity to again grow Crosby’s 
Extra Early with all its former quality. The -stock is true to type and we are sure it will please. 
Our stock of this fine strain is not large, so we are compelled to offer it in packets only.
