MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS 
SWEET CORN, GOLDEN GEM. This is the 
earliest corn I know of. Like Golden Bantam, but 
about a week earlier. The ears are small be¬ 
cause early, but the flavor is delicious. Out here 
more than a mile above the sea, outside the 
“corn belt,” I had “rosten ears” July 17. Of' 
course, in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and other states 
it will be earlier. A good corn to have till the 
Burbank comes along about ten days later. Pkg., 
10c or 3 for 25c. 
SWEET CORN, THE BURBANK. I had my 
first seed directly from Luther Burbank, the or¬ 
iginator. I recognized its superior qualities the 
first summer and have tried to keep those quali¬ 
ties through the intervening years. The ears are 
larger and a few days later than Golden Ban¬ 
tam and the deep, sweet, tender, juicy kernels 
are most luscious. My supply is limited, so am 
selling in small quantities Pkg. 10c; 7 for 50c, 
prepaid. 
REGAL LILY BULBS. The Regal Lily is a 
tall plant bearing from one to a dozen blosoms. 
The flowers are large, perhaps the largest of all 
the Lilies. They are white with a blush outside 
and a canary yellow throat and fill the garden 
with fragrance. Large bulbs are priced by deal¬ 
ers at 25c to 40c each. My bulbs are not full 
grown but are of blooming size and will im¬ 
prove as the years go by. Plant this size about 
6 or 7 inches deep in well-draine soil. Order 
these before April 1st, before they sprout much.
