SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed. 
Note Our New Plan.—lbs. of corn for the packet price. This applies jn third zone and 
under, over that we send 2 oz. pkts. 
The prices paid for first early corn pays the grower to take chances on early planting. For this 
planting use 4 or 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches and rows 3T6 
feet allowing two stalks to the hill, or as some prefer and we think this gives the best results, 
plant 20 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk, this gives all the stalks an even show. April 
20 to May 1 is generally good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. May 
16th to 25th is good for the later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather so well as the 
early sorts. 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the 
silk, fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to June 25th. 
Gill’s Improved Golden Bantam. 
‘Gill’s Improved Golden Bantam.—The 
sweetest, prettiest and most delicious corn yet 
introduced. The kernels are of a rich golden- 
yellow color, which, together with their thin 
skin, makes them superior for table use. With¬ 
out question the best corn of its season, either 
for home garden or market. We grew a large 
stock of this seed last summer and it has cured 
up clean and bright. It is about two weeks 
later than Portland Market. 
We desire to call your attention to the ear 
shown in the cut which is twelve rowed. We 
have increased the size of this corn more than 
50%, thus overcoming an objection often 
made against it as a market corn. Most of 
the ears grown from our improved strain will 
contain 10 to 12 rows of large, plump grains 
and none of its good qualities have been lost 
in our selection. We urge a larger planting 
of this corn by all market gardeners, for even 
when the market is glutted with white corn 
this will always sell readily. There is no 
better corn for home canning or drying and 
in fact it is the last word when it comes to 
quality. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c, postpaid. By E. 
or F., 25c lb.; 10 lbs. or more at 20c per lb. 
‘Gill’s Portland Market.—Introduced by 
us six years ago this is now the leading early 
corn and is the largest of all early varieties. Its 
immense size, together with its large, sweet, 
plump grains of purest white, on well filled ears, 
make it a ready seller on any market. The 
large ears, often a foot in length, mature very 
even and owing to the thin husks the marketable 
ears are easy to detect. The stalks grow strong 
and vigorous, but rather dwarf. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 25c. E. or F„ lb., 20c; 10 lbs. 
or more at 18c. 
Stowell's Evergreen.—The popular late 
sweet corn. Often planted for fodder. We 
have a true strain of this seed. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 25c. E. or F., lb., 20c; 17 lbs. 
or more at 15c.
