SWEET CORN 
Varieties Listed In Order •( Earliness. 
CULTURE. Have your soil well prepared but do not 
plant sweet corn until the ground is warmed up thor¬ 
oughly. Then the early varieties may be planted in 
hills 30 Inches apart both ways while the later varieties 
should be planted 3 to 3H feet both ways. Plant S or 
6 kernels to the hill from 1 to 2 Inches deep. Cultivate 
to keep free from weeds, and when corn is well started 
thin to 4 stalks to the hill. 
Golden Gem# 
This is the earliest yellow sweet corn 
ever Introduced. The stalks are very 
short and the ears come close to the 
ground; are small but of very good 
quality. 
Spanish Gold# 
Tnis is also one of the earliest yellow 
sweet corns. It is a few days later but 
considerably larger both In stalk and 
ears than Golden Gem. 
Early Dow# 
Early Dow is the earliest white sweet 
corn on the market; about two to three 
weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This White Sweet Corn is much in de¬ 
mand until the yellow varieties become 
plentiful. 
Early Golden Market# 
A new Early yellow Sweet Corn that is 
very popular with the Market Gardeners. 
It is larger than Sunshine and about one 
week earlier. It is also a good yielder. 
Kingscrost Golden Bantam# 
A very early eight-rowed golden Sweet 
Corn, which has taken years of patient 
study and cross breeding to develop. It 
has a large, attractive ear, is very early 
and matures uniformly. 
Golden Sunshine# 
In this corn of a rich golden color we 
find a fine sweet variety maturing a week 
or ten days earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This is one of the earliest of all the 
yellow or “Golden Corns.” The ears are 
of equal size with Bantam but 12-rowed 
instead of 8. 
Gould’s Early Golden Giant# Asgrow Golden 
Gould's Golden Giant excels all other Colonel (Gold- 
early yellow varieties in size, produc- 
tiveness and quality, and all of the late en Country 
varieties in quality and early maturity. Gentlemnn) 
Because of the extreme tenderness, com¬ 
bined with the rich exquisite sugary 
flavor, the Golden Giant has become the 
standard of perfection for sugar corn. 
Golden Bantam# 
Recognized by most every one as the 
sweetest corn grown. It produces a fair 
sized ear of beautiful golden yellow ker¬ 
nels. May be planted at intervals of two 
weeks until July 1st. Is very hardy and 
productive. The plant is only 4 to 5 feet 
high and it grows so compactly that it 
may find a place in even the smallest 
garden. 
Black Mexican 
This sweet corn Is the sweetest of all 
and Is noted for Its delicious flavor and 
fine grain qualities. When in condition 
for table, this corn cooks clear white, but 
the ripe grain is bluish-black. Consider 
it a second-early variety. 
* f' IJ r I I (Golden Country 
Asgrow (jolden Lolonel Gentleman) 
Received Award of Merit in the 1936 All 
America Vegetable Selections. Asgrow 
Golden Colonel is identical to Country 
Gentleman in every respect except for its 
bright yellow color. It has taken ten 
years to develop this new strain and to 
combine the fine flavor and rich golden 
color of the Bantam parent and peg type 
of kernel of Country Gentleman. 
Early Evergreen 
Although called Early Evergreen it is not 
real early, but rather should be classed as 
a late sweet corn. It Is, however, the 
earliest of the late varieties. It produces 
large white ears of extra fine quality, 
which mature about 10 to 15 days ahead 
Colden Bantam of Stowell's Date Evergreen. We recom- 
SwHt Corn mend it very highly for both home and 
market gardens.

SWEET CORN—Continued 
Golden Giant Evergreen* 
A large yellow sweet corn obtained by crossing Golden 
Bantam with Stowell's Evergreen. The ears are 8 to 9 
inches long and contain 12 to 14 rows of beautiful yel¬ 
low kernels. The flavor is very much like Golden Ban¬ 
tam. Matures about two weeks later. 
Country Gentleman 
A great favorite for the home garden. It does not grow 
very large but the white kernels being very deep and 
packed so tightly together that the food value trom one 
ear is almost as great as that on larger ears. The flavor 
is delicious. 
Stowell’s Late Evergreen 
The best known and most popular late variety. Its 
large ears with long deep white kernels of a rich sugary 
flavor cannot be surpassed. 
FERTILIZER FOR SWEET CORN 
Sweet corn will develop and mature much faster if given 
a good application of commercial fertilizer either at 
planting time or when making first cultivating. We 
recommend three to five hundred pounds of 4-16-4 per 
acre. 
I am enclosing herewith, an order for various flower and vege¬ 
table seeds. Had remarkably good luck with your seeds at 
Tsingtao. 
J. A. Collins,

POP CORN 
CULTURE. Sow in rows 3 feet apart, 2 to 3 inches 
deep, as soon as danger of frost is over at the rate of 4 
to 6 pounds to the acre, or 1 ounce to 40-foot row. Thin 
plants to 10 to 12 inches in the row. Care given in 
curing determines the popping qualities. 
Gould's South American 
This variety has become very popular. The kernels are 
nearly round and deep orange in color. When popped 
the kernels are nearly twice the size of other corn and 
are of a creamy yellow color. Popped kernel has no 
hard center. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet high and pro¬ 
duce 2 to 3 large ears on each stalk. 
White Rice 
One of the most popular pop corn varieties. The kernels 
are white and pointed, popping to a pure snow white. 
Gould's Japanese Dwarf Hulless 
Very tender and almost hulless. Ears are short and 
chunky. Although the kernels are very small they pop 
to large size, being very tender and brittle. 
Black Beauty 
A very early variety of a blue-black color. The kernels 
are large and smooth, popping to a very large size, very 
crisp and tender.
