ZUCKEE-MAIS (Ger.) SWEET CORN 
MATS (It.) 
Our Northern Grown Sweet Corn is far superior in quality and earliness to the same varieties raised from seed 
grown in the south and west where most of the sweet corn seed is grown. 
One pound plants about 200 hills, 12 to 14 pounds to an acre. For succession, plant about every 2 weeks from 
April to the end of July; ready for the table 60 to 90 days from planting. 
Culture. Garden-Field varieties can be planted at the end of March or early in April. Sugar or Sweet Corns 
are more tender and should not be planted until warm weather is settled and the ground becomes warm. Cultivate 
frequently and keep the ground free of weeds. 
Yellow Varieties 
108 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Large, tender, 
luscious. See page 2. This variety was introduced 
jointly by the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture and Purdue University Agricultural Experiment 
Station. Highly resistant to Stewart’s disease and very 
prolific. Stalks sturdy, about 6 feet high, with excep- 
tionally broad, dark green leaves. Ears measure 7% 
to 8 inches in length, 10 to 14 rowed, slightly lighter 
yellow than Golden Bantam. Kernels medium in 
width and depth. This hybrid is extremely uniform 
in plant and ear characteristics and in maturity. 
Pkt., 15c; y 2 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.10; 
5 lbs., $2.40. 
109 GOLDEN BANTAM. Selected Northern 
Grown. The most popular variety of yellow Sweet 
Corn ever offered; also one of the earliest and hardiest. 
It can be safely planted earlier than other varieties. 
The plants rarely grow over 3*4 feet in height, and 
usually bear at least 2 ears, 5 or 6 inches long, on 
each stalk. Many people assert that Golden Bantam 
is the sweetest of all Corns; its plump, rich, cream- 
yellow kernels are tender, milky and delicious. All our 
Golden Bantam seed is northern grown, making it 
especially valuable for early planting. 
Pkt., 10c; V 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
110 WONDER BANTAM. There has been an ever- 
increasing demand for an early Sweet Corn having 
all of the good qualities of Golden Bantam Sweet Corn, 
together with a larger ear and having about the same 
maturing season. To accomplish this, Wonder Bantam 
has been introduced by the crossing of Early Wonder 
and Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. The stalks grow 
from 5 to 6 feet in height and have ears 8 to 10 inches 
in length filled with 8 rows of rich, golden colored 
kernels. It is a variety that will appeal to the critical 
market and home gardener. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
111 GOLDEN SUNSHINE. The earliest of the Gold¬ 
en Bantam type, maturing a week to 10 days earlier 
than that variety. More dwarf in habit than Bantam, 
with ears 6 y 2 inches long, containing 12 rows of 
broad, yellow, sweet grains. Especially desirable for 
its extreme earliness. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c;

112 GOLDEN GIANT. It excels all other early va¬ 
rieties of Corn in size, productiveness and quality; 
and all the late varieties in quality and early maturity 
while equaling them in size. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
113 BANTAM EVERGREEN. A cross between 
Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen and is a 
most excellent sort of fine quality. The ears average 
8 inches long and are 12-rowed, the grain is rather 
broad and deep and of a rich golden yellow color.

White Varieties 
115 WHIPPLE’S EARLY WHITE. Of the narrow¬ 
grained Evergreen type, but ready for use much ear¬ 
lier. Ears 8 to 9 inches long, 16 to 18 rows of pearly 
white grains. The chief distinction of this variety is 
that it is by far the earliest of the narrow-grained 
Evergreen types and has a larger sugar content. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
116 EARLY EVERGREEN. An early strain of 
Evergreen of great value. This variety resembles the 
Stowell’8 Evergreen, but is ready for use much earlier 
and remains in good condition equally as long. The 
ears grow to a good size, usually about 7 inches long. 
and contain from 16 to 18 rows of deep, sweet grains. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
118 BLACK MEXICAN. For home use we consider 
this one of the best second early sorts where tender¬ 
ness and sweetness are the qualities most desired. 
The stalks grow about 6% feet high, producing ears 
usually 8 inches long and 8-rowed. The dry grain is 
dark bluish black. The ripe Corn on the cob is also 
bluish black, but if used young, this Corn cooks re¬ 
markably white. This is an interesting variety. 
Pkt., 10c: y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
5 lbs., $1.25.
