Allen’s Choice. Or an improved Malakhoff which was brought to this country by the U. S. 
government from Russia, and was the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been grown by a local 
mai’ket gardener and carefully selected by him until he has a distinct variety of the Malak¬ 
hoff of his own. After careful inspection we have made arrangements to supply our trade 
with this corn, calling it “Allen’s Choice.” Not only the sweetest early Corn but the largest 
early Corn, better and earlier, by far, than Peep o’ Day. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. A beautiful yellow Corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both in 
size and in quality. Stalk grows from 5 to 6 ft. high, ears 8 to 10 inches in length. As early 
as the Golden Bantam. It is a variety that is worthy of a trial by any market gardener, 
canner or garden maker. We consider it by our trial to be the best improved Golden Bantam 
yet put on the market. You will be getting both size and quality in this Corn, which took 
Mr. Barden 5 years to perfect and put on the market. 
Country Gentleman. A well-known and deserving old sort that has always been very popu¬ 
lar, due to its large, compact ears of irregular rows. 
Se Lue’s Golden Giant Sug'ar Corn. The famous winner of many horticultural prizes. 
This is no fake variety ; it is exactly what the gardener has been looking for. Of even better 
quality than Golden Bantam; will yield twice as much per acre as the Golden Bantam; 
larger eared and larger stalk, making it the most productive of the best yellow Sweet Corn 
in existence. We have purchased a limited quantity of this seed from the originator who 
stands back of the above description. This we offer in limited quantities. 
Golden Bantam. This is a Sweet Corn of most exqusite quality, which when ready to use is 
of a bright golden yellow color. It looks rich and is rich and no mistake. It can be planted 
very early, as it is as hardy as the Extra Early Adams. The small stalks can grow closely 
together in the row and will produce 2 or 3 ears each. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Wilt resistant—high yield—uni¬ 
form. We recommend this new hybrid Sweet Corn for places 
where Stewart’s disease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow 
ordinary varieties of Sweet Com. This Corn, which is the 
product of crossing two pure lines, is not only resistant to 
bacterial wilt (Stewart’s disease) but produces larger crops 
of beautiful ears. The ears have 10 to 14 rows of golden 
yellow kernels, uniform in length (about 8 inches) and of 
excellent quality. Matures a week later than Golden Ban¬ 
tam, the whole crop ripening at about the same time. This 
crossed seed was produced by the controlled pollination of 
two inbred parents in 1935 and will produce the true Golden 
Cross Bantam described above in 1936. Seed from the 1936 
crop cannot be saved for 1937 as it will break down. The 
cross has to be made each year. 54 lb., 15c; 54 lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
Golden Sunshine. (50 days). Blue skies and sunshine have 
combined their divinely guided chemistry to produce the 
nectar-like sweetness of this delicious golden corn. The ears are compact, about same size 
as Golden Bantam, but more refined in appearance, having from 10 to 12 rows of grains 
instead of 8 as Golden Bantam. It is a very rapid grower; earliest of the golden group.

sidering everything.
