Golden Bantam for the finest roasting 1 ears 
I don’t think I need 
to say much about 
sweet corn. You all 
know how good it is 
and how easy it is to 
grow. I am listing only the best varieties. 
You can depend on any of them. Wait 
until the ground is warm before planting 
the later varieties. The early varieties 
may be planted a week or two sooner. 
Vz lb. of seed will plant 100 hills or about 
10 or 12 lbs. to the acre. Plant at inter¬ 
vals of 10 days until the middle of July 
for new corn all summer. 
YELLOW VARIETIES

177 GOLDEN BANTAM. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like to 
set his teeth in an ear of Golden Bantam. It is recognized as the 
standard yellow sweet corn. Grows 4 x / 2 to 5 feet tall, very produc¬ 
tive, early, tender, sweet delicious flavor. Price: Triple Size Pit. 
(3 oz.) 10c; y 2 lb. 15c; 1 lb. 25c; 3 lbs. 65c. 
POP CORN 
Pop Corn has brought an unusually 
good price the last two years and I don’t 
know of a better way for the boys to 
earn a little extra money than to raise 
it. Takes about the same care as field 
corn except that you plant it a little 
closer if you want to. 
195 JAPANESE HULIESS, 
Recognized for years as the 
standard variety of popping 
corn. Pops out snowy white,

noying hulls. A sharp-
