DE LUE’S GOLDEN GIANT SWEET CORN 
(GROWN FOR JOSEPH BRECK & SONS BY ELLIOTT C. ROGERS.) 
In sealed packages containing sufficient seed for 20 hills or 50 feet of drill. 50c pkg. Postpaid. 
GOLDEN GIANT, the most desirable sweet corn on the market today. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massa¬ 
chusetts Horticultural Society. Golden Giant is the result of eleven years’ selection by Dr. F. S. DeLue, Boston, 
Mass., from the product of Howling Mob crossed with Golden Bantam. Golden Giant, with its 12 to 16 rowed ears 
and deep golden yellow kernels, gives nearly four times the yield per acre that the Golden Bantam does with its 
smaller 8 rowed ears. The stalks of Golden Giant are short, sturdy, and frequently produce two ears. Repeated 
tests have demonstrated that from 48 to 54 ears fill a bushel box. Market gardeners have secured during the season 
of 1918 marketable corn in 65 days and a premium of 50c bushel box on the Boston Market over price secured for 
other yellow varieties. Corn offered this year has been carefully grown in eastern Massachusetts; given the most 
expert care throughout the season. The result has been a limited crop of excellent quality, high germination, now- 
ready for immediate distribution in sealed packages at 50 CENTS EACH POSTPAID, containing sufficient corn for 
20 HILLS or 50 FEET of drill. We believe the results obtained from Golden Giant will be most appreciated by read¬ 
ing the following reports sent us by farmers and gardeners who planted the corn during the seasons of 1917 and 
1918.

JOSEPH BRECK & SONS, CORP., Boston, Mass. 
Gentlemen; — You may be interested to know how the GOLDEN GIANT SWEET CORN that I purchased of you 
is coming on. The corn was planted June first in hills 3x3 feet apart. The best fertilization and cultivation has 
been given it and a perfect stand has resulted. The stalks are eared out well; a great many of them have two 
large marketable ears. You of course are familiar with the size of the ear, hut I think it may be safely said that 
even the medium sized ears are at least twice the size of the Golden Bantam and the quality equally as good. The 
present crop is at this date ready for the first picking. 
For the market gardeners this corn will be of great value inasmuch as four dozen of the good sized ears 
will fill a bushel box. 
The field was inspected this week by County Agricultural Agent Gaskill of Essex County and he pronounced it 
a beautiful stand of corn. He was especially interested in the size of the ears. We discussed fully the growing 
of this corn by market gardeners and both agreed that it would be a very valuable addition to their crops. 
Mr. Gaskill has very kindly agreed to assist me in the selection of seed for next year’s crop. 
Yours vqpr truly, ELLIOTT C. ROGERS, 
Former Emergency District Administration Agent and 
Asst. Agent at large for Essex and Middlesex Counties 
for the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and Mass. Agric. College.
