Only Those Varieties of Street and Roasting Ear Corn Are Listed That Are Most Suitable to Florida and the South 
CORN-SWEET AND ROASTING EAR 
For Field Corn, See Page 37 
This is a crop that never fails to bring profitable returns to 
Florida truckers when put on the market early. 
Culture. Plant in well fertilized rows three feet apart, in 
hills every one and one-half feet in the row, leaving one or two 
plants in a place. When about knee high, apply 150 pounds per 
acre of Sodium Nitrate and same amount again when the corn 
begins to silk and tassel. This fertilizer application will greatly 
increase the yield, and will bring your crop to earlier maturity. 
For bud worms, use one pound powdered Arsenate of Lead and 
four pounds Hydrated Lime. Drop a little in the bud. Ship in 
special com crates, six to eight dozen to the package. Early 
plantings are made in Florida from January 1 until March. 
Plant 1 peck per acre with Sweet Corn. 
Plant 7 pounds per acre with Roasting Ear 
SWEET CORN VARIETIES 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (80 days.) This is a late sweet 
com especially well adapted to Florida and the South. It pro¬ 
duces the largest ears of any variety of tme sweet com, the ears 
ranging from 11 to 12 inches in length, with eighteen to twenty 
rows of large glistening white kernels. The husks fit very tight¬ 
ly over the tip, making it difficult for the ear worm to enter. 
The stalks grow to a height of eight to ten feet. Numerous tests 
have shown this to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties of 
tme sweet com for Florida and the South.

Not prepaid, 11 lbs. (pk.) $1.40; 44 lbs. (bu.) $5.00. 
GOLDEN GIANT. (70 days.) This is a hybrid of Golden 
Bantam and an early maturing, large-eared, white kemeled 
variety. It possesses the fine qualities of both parents, and it is 
considerably larger eared than Golden Bantam. Ears are seven 
and one-half to eight inches long, with twelve to fourteen rows 
of large, broad, orange-yellow colored grains. The stalks grow 
to a height of four to five feet. This is one of the best, high 
quality, yellow kemeled varieties for Florida and the South.

GOLD BOND. (Improved Golden Bantam.) (65 days.) 
This variety of yellow sweet com is similar to Golden Bantam, 
only slightly later, making it better adapted to Southern grow¬ 
ing conditions. The ears are six to seven inches long, with eight 
to ten rows of large yellow kernels. Although the ears are not 
large, this is more than made up by its deliciously sweet flavor 
and tenderness. The stalks grow to a height of three to four feet.

Suwannee Sugar 
SUWANNEE SUGAR. (New) (80 days.) As the result of 
many years of breeding on the part of the Florida Agricultural 
Experiment Station, we are introducing this new variety which 
meets the need of a large sweet com suitable for shipment. Long 
Island Beauty sweet corn was crossed with Early Snowflake, a 
popular roasting ear variety. Selection was practiced through 
several generations for a vigorous, large-eared, worm resistant, 
true sweet com of good table quality. Suwannee Sugar is fully 
equal to Long Island Beauty in sweetness and high table qual¬ 
ity. It is also fully equal to Snowflake in resistance to ear worm 
damage. In vigor, ear size, earliness, and other characteristics 
Suwannee Sugar is in general intermediate to the parent types. 
Stocks grow to height of 9 to 11 feet. We predict this variety 
will make sweet corn production profitable in Florida and other 
southern states, and that it will become one of the most exten¬ 
sively grown varieties for shipment to northern markets.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. (75 days.) The ears are eight 
to ten inches long, with fourteen to twenty rows of large, broad, 
white kernels. Stalks are seven and one-half to eight feet tall. 
This is an old standard variety of sugar corn for the Southern 
home garden and market.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (70 days.) This is one of the 
richest flavored of all sweet corns. The ears are eight to ten 
inches long, thickly covered with long, narrow, white kernels, 
without row formation, and borne on a small cob. It is some¬ 
times called “Shoe Peg” com because of its long, deep grains. 
The stalks grow to a height of six and one-half to seven and 
one-half feet.
