SWEET CORN—Continued 
GOLDEN GIANT SWEET CORN 
Breck’s Massachusetts Grown Golden Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
The most important Horticultural acquisition of recent years. Awarded 
a Silver Medal for novelty and excellence by the Massachusetts Horticul¬ 
tural Society. 
Ears twice the size of Bantam, and, being from 14 to 16 rowed, give 
nearly four times the yield per acre; richer in color; more delicious; 
equally early. 
The result of eleven years selection by Dr. Frederick S. De Lue of 
Boston, Mass., from a product of “Howling Mob crossed with Golden Ban¬ 
tam.” 
To introduce Golden Giant we offer a limited quantity in packets con¬ 
taining 25 kernels each at 25c per package postpaid.

of catalog. 
BRECK’S SELECTED 
MASSACHUSETTS GROWN GOLDEN BANTAM 
The most popular variety of yellow sweet corn ever offered; also one of 
the earliest and hardiest. It can be planted safely earlier than 
other varieties. The plants rarely grow over 3J4 feet in height, and 
usually bear at least two ears, 5 or 6 inches long, on each stalk. 
Many people assert that Golden Bantam is the sweetest of all corns; 
its plump, rich, cream-yellow kernels are tender, milky, and deli¬ 
cious. All our Golden Bantam seed is Northern grown, making it 
especially valuable for growth in sections where the summers are 
cool and short. Pt., 30c; qt., 50c; pk., $3.00. 
SELECTED EARS, 10c EACH. 
RED COB GOLDEN BANTAM CORN 
A true descendant of the Golden Bantam. It was discovered several 
years ago by Mr. Briggs of Newton, Mass., and on account of its extreme 
sweetness and tenderness was given the opportunity of proving its worth. 
The dry seed is of crimson hue but when in the green state if placed side 
by side with the Golden Bantam, could not be told from it, except that 
the ears and kernels average somewhat larger. Aside from its sweetness 
and tenderness, another point in its favor is that the kernels have prac¬ 
tically no hulls. The cob is of a decided crimson color and the foliage is 
streaked with red. Matures at the same time as its parent stock. 
Price per Packet, 30c. Postpaid. 
Sold only in Sealed Packets. 
WHITE RICE POPPING CORN FOR SEED 
Choice, selected. New Hampshire Grown White Rice. Per lb., 12c; 
per 100 lbs., $10.00.

Messrs. Breck & Sons, Boston, Mass. 
Gentlemen:—Enclosed find order. If I do as well with your seeds this 
year as last, shall be perfectly satisfied. Had a fine piece of spring wheat 
and a good catch of clover coming, notwithstanding a bad season. 
Wishing you many years of success, I remain, 
Very respectfully, 
MR. ELMER W. ROBERTS,
