Extension workers this year Golden Cross Bantam, a new 
variety, was practically free from wilt in all demonstrations. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE

quality sweet corn ready for market ten days earlier than 
Golden Bantam, but more dwarf in growth. The ears are 634 
inches long. 12 rows of broad yellow sweet grains. It is espe¬ 
cially desirable for its extreme earliness. Pkt. 5 cts., 34 lb.

Corn of highest quality. Pkt. 5 cts., 34 lb. 10 cts., 34 lb. 15 
cts., Lib. 25 cts., 6 lbs. $1.20. 
BARDEN S WONDER BANTAM

of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but the ears are larger 
(eight to ten inches long) and set up higher on a more sturdy 
stalk, from five to six feet high. Pkt. 5 cts., 34 lb. 10 cts., 
34 lb. 15 cts., 1 lb. 25 cts., 6 lbs. $1.20. 
Golden Colonel 
GOLDEN OR BANTAM EVERGREEN 
89 days. A cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell’s 
Evergreen. Ears 7 to 8 inches long, with 12 to 14 rows of 
large yellow kernels which are of fine quality. Matures later 
than Whipple’s Yellow and Golden Giant, which are the two 
varieties that it most closely resembles. Pkt. 5 cts., 34 lb. 
10 cts., 34 lb. 15 cts., 1 lb. 25 cts., 6 lbs. $1.20. 
TOP CROSS SPANISH GOLD 
Four days earlier than Golden Bantam and generally twice 
as productive, the attractive 8-inch 12-rowed ears command 
a premium on the market. For tenderness and succulence we 
have never seen its equal and it holds this fine quality 2 to 
3 days longer than other corns. Produces heavy crops in areas 
where Golden Bantam succumbs to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s 
Disease). Compares favorably with the Evergreens in can¬ 
ning cost. Pkt. 10 cts., 34 lb. 15 cts., 34 lb. 25 cts., 1 lb. 
40 cts. 
GOLDEN BANTAM 
80 days. The best strain of Golden Bantam offered to the 
trade. As early as Sunshine and of incomparably better qual¬ 
ity. Plants dwarf; 434 to 5 feet tall; very productive, com¬ 
monly bearing 2 ears. Ears 6 to 7 inches long; strictly 8 
rowed; very uniform. Kernels rich golden yellow, very tender, 
sweet and of splendid rich flavor. Pkt. 5 cts., 34 lb. 10 cts., 
34 lb. 15 cts., 1 lb. 25 cts., 6 lbs. $1.20. 
CONTROL OF CORN EARWORM 
The ears of sweet corn are attacked by young cater¬ 
pillars which feed first on the growing silk and later 
work down into the ear, eating the kernels. Early ma¬ 
turing varieties of plants are less subject to injury from 
the caterpillars. Sweet corn may be protected by dusting 
with a combination of lead arsenate and dusting sul¬ 
phur, using equal parts of the materials. The dust 
should be applied as soon as silk forms on the develop¬ 
ing ears. It may be necessary to make several applica¬ 
tions, as the ears do not all develop at the same time.
