* GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BAN¬ 
TAM—Superior to the original Golden Ban¬ 
tam in quality and nearly twice the size. 
Nearly all ears carry 10 to 12 rows of rich 
golden yellow' kernels, set close upon the 
cob. Do not compare this with the original 
strain, as it is far superior in every respect, 
and any gardener who places this corn on 
the market will command better sales and 
prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, can¬ 
ning or drying. We carry the exclusive 
seed of this improved strain. Pkt., 15c; i 
lb., 25c—lb., 45c. E. or F., lb., 40c—10 lbs. 
at 35c lb. 
♦GILL’S EARLY MARKET—Last sum¬ 
mer this corn was first on the market at 
Portland and brought 60c per doz., -whole¬ 
sale. Selected for earliness from the Port¬ 
land Market, this is positively the earliest 
true sweet corn, being 10 to 14 days earlier 
than its parent. 
While not so large as the Portland Mar¬ 
ket, the ears are of good size and well filled 
with large, sweet, piump, white grains, set 
12 to 14 rows to the cob. In character of 
growth it is similar to Portland Market, ex¬ 
cept it is more dw'arf. If you want the first 
sweet corn in your neighborhood, plant this 
variety. 
To get the best results from this corn the 
soil should be v'ell fertilized with fresh horse 
manure. This will prevent it being stunted 
by cold spring rains and the ears will be 
larger. Pkt., 15c— i lb., 25c—lb., 45c; post¬ 
paid. E. or F., lb., 40c—10 lbs., 35c lb. 
Country Gentleman—A popular late sort.

—1 lb., 25c—lb.. 40c. E. or F„ lb.. 35c—10 
lbs. at 30c lb.
