The Sweetest Corn in the World 
EARLY PEARL 
Sweet Corn is the most truly American of all vegetables. In no other section of 
the world does this most delightful of all native delicacies reach its greatest peak than 
in the United States and in no section of this country is Corn produced of such sur¬ 
passing sweetness and flavor as in Connecticut. It is always an event to look forward 
to when the first meal of the Corn season produces its piping hot ears rich with melted 
butter and liberally laced with salt and pepper. A hundred years ago vendors of 
"hot-corn" were familiar sights on our city streets and even in those days Corn was 
a delicacy. 
We feel indeed grateful to Fate for the privilege of offering to the entire country 
what we, and everyone else who has tried it, consider the sweetest, tenderest and 
most delicately flavored Com in the world, whose snowy white kernels are so brightly 
white that “Pearl" seemed the only name for it. Its origin is obscure but it has been 
grown for years in the hills of Litchfield County, Connecticut, and our good friend Mr. 
M. H. Mallett, of New Milford, first furnished us with a small quantity for trial. The 
writer grew it in his garden and learned to know and appreciate its fine qualities 
before we undertook to grow sufficient to market commercially. Its success was in¬ 
stantaneous for everyone who tried Early Pearl three years ago became an enthus¬ 
iastic repeat buyer. Our greatest interest today is to have its use become more wide¬ 
spread and to acquaint more people with the very ultimate in fine flavored Com — 
the greatest American table delicacy. 
Early Pearl grows about 5 inches long, is 12-rowed with long, deep, snowy-white 
kernels. The tender, thin pericarp breaks readily to release the delicious sweet "milk" 
of the Corn with its delicate honey-like flavor and if any objection is felt to the small 
size of the ear it should be explained that two ears are borne on the stalk and the 
dwarf fodder permits close enough planting to bring the ear yield up higher for a 
given space than any other variety. 
Our canning friends tell us that Early Pearl will pack more cans per acre than 
Golden Bantam because of the small cob and deep kernel size and that it commands 
a higher price because of its superior quality. Early Pearl matures at about the same 
time as Golden Bantam and holds its tenderness over one week longer. 
If you have only a small space for a garden nothing will repay you more than a 
few hills of Early Pearl — that is, if you appreciate fine things, and who doesn't like 
to eat well?
