offered to the trade. As early as Sunshine and of incompar¬ 
ably better quality. Plants dwarf; 4 l / 2 to 5 ft. tall; very pro¬ 
ductive, commonly bearing two ears. Ears 6 to 7 in. long; 
strictly 8 rowed; very uniform. Kernels rich golden yellow,

Oregon Evergreen. 95 days. Earlier than Stowell’s and, like 
it, is very fine and sweet. It is very popular in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia for producing corn through the winter. It is a good 
canning variety and also a good late corn in the North. Ears 
medium to large, 12 to 18 rowed; kernels pure white; husks 
firm and strong, protecting the ear in a large measure from 
the corn ear worm and allowing long distance shipping. It 
will remain in good edible condition longer than anv other 
variety. Pkt. 5c and 10c; Vi lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. 105 days. Standard late variety very

to 7% ft. tall. Ears 8 in. long; 2% to 2% in. thick, 14 to 20

main in table condition a long time. Pkt. 5c and 10c; V lb. 15c;

Golden Country Gentleman 
Ninety-two days from planting to eating. Height of stalk, 
7 to 8 feet. The result of 10 years’ breeding in crossing White 
Country Gentleman and Golden Bantam. This new variety is 
identical in stalk and ear characteristics with regular Country 
Gentleman, except for its golden color. The fine flavor and 
rich color of the Bantam parent has been retained. Stalks 
sturdy, often with two ears. Kernels very deep, narrow, ten¬ 
der, arranged irregularly without row formation. This variety 
is distinct from Golden Cream, as it has a much larger, more 
attractive ear with the typical Country Gentleman kernel 
pattern. Pkt. 5c and 10c; V lb. 20c; 1 lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
Golden Early Market

tender, sweet, and of good flavor. Very prolific for so early a 
variety. Pkt. 5c and 10c; Vi lb. 20c; 1 lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
Golden Cross Bantam 
Edible in 88 days. This hybrid is undoubtedly one of the 
best and most prolific of the yellow sweet corns. The ears are 
8 to 10 inches long with 14 to 16 rows of kernels, slightly 
lighter in color and yielding about 40 per cent more market¬ 
able ears than Golden Bantam. Grows 5 to 6 feet high with 
sturdy stalks and deep green foliage. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 30c; 1 lb. 
50c; 10 lbs. $4.50. Write for quantity prices. 
New Yellow Corn 
Marcross 39 
This is a splendid, new, hybrid top cross variety of early 
yellow sweet corn. It is exceptionally early, maturing about 
five days earlier than Golden Bantam or about 75 days from 
time of planting. The ears are of a deep golden yellow, 6 to 7 
inches long with 12 to 14 rows of good large kernels which are 
very sweet and of a fine flavor. 
The plant produces a good, strong stalk and root system 
and is quite resistant to wilt. It is also more drought resistant 
than many other early varieties. 
Marcross 39 is a very heavy yielder, with the ears placed 
well up on the stem, making it easy to pick, and should prove 
very popular with both the market and home gardener. Pkt. 
10c; Vi lb. 30c; 1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50. 
CUCUMBER 
Plant from February 15th to July 15th in hills 4 feet apart 
each way, dropping from 8 to 10 seeds per hill, and cover an 
inch deep. When they are about 5 inches high and danger 
of insects is past, thin out, leaving only four of the largest and 
healthiest plants to each hill. Cucumbers are extremely easy 
to grow and a few hills will produce an abundance for an 
average family. They are of very rapid growth, maturing 
from 6 to 8 weeks from date of planting. Keep the crop picked, 
when large enough for use, whether required or not; other¬ 
wise, if left to ripen, they will stop bearing.
