Golden Cross Bantam Sweet Corn 
On the back cover is a picture of this Corn. It was obtained 
by crossing and selecting certain strains of the noted Golden 
Bantam. The ears are about 8 inches long, with 14 rows of 
golden yellow, sweet, delicious kernels. The plants are 
regular in height and bear two ears. The husks are thick and 
heavy, helping to protect the cob from the corn-worm. Pkg.

Delicious Muskmelon 
Well named, for it truly is delicious. We can talk 
about it, but you won’t know how delicious it is until 
you try it. Delicious is the largest and heaviest of the 
early melons, and the best in quality. The outside is 
netted, creamy yellow in color and the flesh is rich 
orange, sweet and appealing. A desirable variety 
for home-gardens and nearby markets. Pkg. 10c; 
oz. 25c; */4 lb- 75c, postpaid. 
Top-Cross Whipple's Yellow 
Sweet Corn 
If you want a large-eared yellow Sweet Corn, here 
it is. It will be profitable to the market gardener and 
make the back-yard grower happy. This is a new i 
hybrid wilt-resistant variety with ears 8 to 9 inches 
long, carrying 14 to 18 rows of dark yellow grains. 
The quality is as good as that of smaller sorts, and the 
yield will be heavier on account of larger ears. Pkg.

Early Mammoth Sweet

seed in May or later; when the bulbs begin to form, 
pile dirt around them, so they may blanch. Pkg. 10c; 
oz. 20c; !/4 lb. 60c; lb. $2, postpaid.
