SWEET CORN—Continued 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN SWEET CORN 
The standard main crop va¬ 
riety for market and for the 
home garden. Ears large, ker¬ 
nels deep, sugary and tender, 
remaining in green stage for 
an unusually long time. We 
are placing on the market this 
year the improved strain, 
known as Platt’s, which is 
earlier than the common 
stock (which has been for 
so long the standard late 
sort), Stowell’s Evergreen and 
the yield most 
ex t r a o rdinary, 
running as high 
as 175 bushels 
per acre, the 
majority of the 
stalks having two 
ears. Our grower 
reports that this 
year stock was 
ready for the 
market 10 days 
in advance of the 
original Stowell’s 
Evergreen. It is 
not uncommon 
for the ears to 
have from 18 to 
20 rows. Pkg., 15 
cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 
2 lb., 50 cts.; 12 
lb., $3.00. 
Htowell’s Evergreen Sweet Corn 
YELLOW SWEET CORN 
DE LUE’S GOLDEN GIANT 
The most important Horticultural acquisition of recent 
years. Awarded the Silver Medal for novelty and excel¬ 
lence at Massachusetts Horticultural Show. Ears twice 
the size of Bantam and being from 14 to 16 rowed gives 
nearly four times the yield per acre; richer in color, 
more delicious, equally early. The husks are striped with 
red and very heavy. Golden Giant can he highly recom¬ 
mended to the market gardener because of the large ears 
and good shipping qualities of the corn. Last year the 
small quantity that was offered the Boston market 
brought a premium of 50 cts. bushel box over other 
yellow varieties. 
Golden Giant is the result of eleven years selection by 
Dr. F. S. De Lue of Boston, Mass., from a product of 
“Howling Mob crossed with Golden Bantam.” 
Price in sealed packages 50 cts. postpaid. Seed sufficient 
for 20 hills or 50 ft. of drill.

JOSEPH BRECK & SONS, CORP., 
I want to tell you my opinion of your “Golden Giant Sweet 
Corn.” I think it is a wonder. In the matter of productive¬ 
ness the yield is enormous. As to the quality, I have never 
tasted a more delicious Corn. I have always considered 
“Golden Bantam” the best on earth but I can honestly say 
“Giant” is fully its equal. I can recommend it to any one 
who wants quality and quantity. 
Respectfully yours, 
CHARLES W. GOVE.

JOSEPH BRECK & SONS, 
Gentlemen : — The De Lue’s Golden Giant Sweet Corn which 
I purchased of you last spring has proven to be the best 
sweet corn I have even grown, the flavor being the finest I 
ever tasted. I do not hesitate to recommend this variety of 
Sweet Corn to anyone. 
Hoping this will prove of benefit to you. I remain,

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 3% 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 delicious. AIL our Golden Bantam seed is 
Northern grown, making it especially valuable for growth 
in sections where the summers are cool and short. 1 lb., 
20 cts.; 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 12 lbs., $3.00. Selected ears, 10 cts. 
each; by mail, 15 cts. 
GOLDEN DAWN 
An extra early yellow variety, sweet and tender, ears 
slightly larger than Golden Bantam. Kernels large and 
deep set in even rows and filling the cob to the tip. 
Stocks about 6 ft. high. Our stock of Golden Dawn is 
grown in eastern Massachusetts and has been most care¬ 
fully selected. Pkg., 15 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 
12 lbs.,, $3.00. 
GOLDEN ORANGE SWEET CORN 
A popular sort among the farmers and market garden¬ 
ers in southern New Hampshire, Maine and eastern Massa¬ 
chusetts. Can be classed as an extra early sort, from 7-8 
inches in length, slender, with small cob, kernels large, 
deep; set in even rows and filling out the ears to the 
tip. Pkt., 15 cts.; 1 lb., 30 cts.; 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 12 lbs., $3.00. 
Golden Giant Sweet Corn 
RED COB GOLDEN BANTAM CORN 
A true descendant of the Golden Bantam. It was dis¬ 
covered 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 tender¬ 
ness, another point in its favor is that the kernels have 
practically 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 sealed 
package, 25 cts. postpaid; per lb., 50 cts., postage extra. 
WHITE RICE POPPING CORN FOR SEED 
Choice selected, white rice cofn. Per lb., 50 cts.; per 
100 lbs., 18 cts. per lb.; postage extra.
