Mountain Grown Sweet Corn 
THE DIFFERENCE. The names of the varieties which we list are the same as those listed by other re¬ 
liable seed companies. They are the same varieties. But they have been grown in the mountains at alti¬ 
tudes of 5000 to 6000 feet and they will mature earlier. Ten days earlier may not seem a great difference, 
but in many localities this is over ten per cent of the growing season. Do you, market gardeners, want to 
get your Corn on the early, high priced market? Do you, home gardeners, want to have Sweet Corn when it 
is still considered a luxury? There is nothing in the vegetable kingdom hailed with as much delight, looked 
forward to with as much anticipation, as juicy Sweet Corn. 
THE SWEETEST CORN cannot be purchased, it must be home raised. It should be gathered for the table 
or for canning not more than two hours before it is cooked, as the quality and sweetness are injured by keep¬ 
ing longer than this. Sweet Corn is in the proper stage for gathering when the grains are plump and just 
entering the dough stage. 
Culture. One pound to 400 feet of row; 10 pounds per acre. Rows should be laid off about three feet apart 
and seeds sown 1 to 1% inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. Or plant in hills 3 feet apart each 
- ’- 1 — three plants to a hill. Growers often plant early corn before the normal season. Then, if the 
crop escapes frost, it matures earlier and is correspondingly valuable. 
If it is killed it may be cheaply planted again. In the home garden it 
is well to have a succession of plantings to supply 
the table during the season.

444 Spanish Gold. (56 days.) Our Superior 
New Sweet Corn. A careful check has 
been kept of our seed field of Spanish Gold. 
In many ways it surpasses all other varie¬ 
ties. It Is fully as early as Golden Gem 
and has larger ears, which leave the stalk 
higher above the ground. A true sugar 
corn, tasty and delicious. Spanish Gold Is 
a good yielder. The ears are twelve-rowed, 
six to eight inches long. Stalks are about 
four feet high, a great many producing two 
or three ears. Spanish Gold is the best of 
all early sweet corn. See color cut on in¬ 
side Front Cover. Pkt, 5c; y% lb, 25c; 
lb, 35c, postpaid. 
455 Golden Gem. (55 days.) Slightly earlier 
than any other sweet corn of Golden Bantam 
quality and therefore valuable to the market 
gardener for reaching the earliest market 
and to the home gardener in high altitudes 
where later corns will not mature. Golden 
Gem stalks are dwarf; ears 5 to 6 inches 
long; very often 2 and 3 ears on a stalk. 
The- corn is tender and of the finest flavor. 
Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 25c; lb, 35c, postpaid. 
Improved Golden 
Bantam. 
44V Oregon Evergreen. (80 days.) Earlier 
than Stowell’s, sweeter and'better flavor, and 
remains edible longer. Ears 16 to IS rowed; 
kernels pure white; stalks 6% to 8 feet tall. 
Strong, firm husks protect it to a large de¬ 
gree from worm damage. Good canner. Pkt, 
5c; y 2 lb, 25c; lb, 35c, postpaid. 
443 Peep o’Day. (62 days.) The earliest real sweet 
white Corn. Even more dwarf in growth than the 
Golden Bantam, and with ears about the same 
size. The flavor of this variety is excellent. Pkt, 
5c; y z lb, 25c; lb, 40c, postpaid. 
442 Golden Cross Bantam. (75 days.) One of the 
best of the hybrid types in our trials this year. 
Excellent flavor and extra fine, meaty ear. Ma¬ 
turity very uniform, about a week later than 
Golden Bantam. The method of production makes 
this seed quite high priced, because two separate strains 
of corn must be carefully bred and then planted in alter¬ 
nate rows, the tassels being removed from one parent. 
Seed not true the second year; but if you want something 
just a little extra, try some of this hybrid corn. Much 
more resistant to Stewart’s disease, if you happen to be 
in a section where this occurs. Pkt, 10c; y 2 lb, 35c; lb, 
60c, postpaid. 
The Tripacket size is most economical for sweet corn 
and pop com. See page 8.
