FORD’S SOUND SWEET 
CORN 
For a good many years we have been specially interested 
in developing new varieties of Sweet Corn. A good many 
experiments have been made, and from all of these we 
have retained four sorts that we can recommend to all our 
friends—Ford’s Early, Ford’s Golden Sugar, Ford’s Nectar 
and Ford’s Improved Mammoth. These four Sweet Corns 
will keep your table supplied from early summer until late 
September, or even into October. 
Sweet Corn should be planted from May 1 to July 1, in 
hills 3 to 4 feet apart each way, 5 kernels to a hill, or in 
drills, covering an inch deep. When the plants are 4 to 6 
inches tall, pull out all but two or three. Cultivate frequently. 
One pound of seed will plant about 200 hills; 12 pounds 
for an acre. As there is no legal weight for Sweet Corn, 
we quote it by the pound. Different varieties vary in weight 
per measured bushel, from 40 to 48 pounds. 
Prices on com in 10 lb. lots or under include postage. If 
to go by express or called for at our store, deduct 6c from 
lb., 10c from lb., 14c from 3 lbs., 18c from 6 lbs., 28c from 
10 lbs. 
FORD’S IMPROVED MAMMOTH 
A late all-round, every purpose variety. For market, for 
canning, drying, or other home uses, the quality is unex¬ 
celled. If the seed is not planted too thickly the stalks will 
usually produce two ears each. The ears are large, medium 
thick, remaining good for table use for some time after 
maturity. Pkt. 10c, % lb. 20c, lb. 35c, 3 lbs. 89c, 5 lbs.

FORD’S FOUR LEADERS 
Ready for use in 60 to 66 
o days after planting. Scores 
of our customers who know this variety say that 
it surpasses all other early white Sweet Corns in 
quality. The ears are from 8 to 10 inches long, 
and contain 8 rows of pure white kernels, 
which are large and extra deep for an early 
Corn. The stalks grow 6 to 6 feet high, can be 
planted more thickly than most varieties, and 
frequently produce two ears to the stalk. On 
account of its earliness, size and quality, it is 
unsurpassed by any variety for home use or 
■market purposes. Many of our market-garden 
customers practically monopolize the early trade 
in Sweet Corn by growing Ford’s Early. It very 
frequently sells for 60c per doz. on the early
