OLDSSWEET 
Our Sweet Corn is all first class, high testing, Wis¬ 
consin-grown seed. Our packets each contain two 
ounces, larger than the usual packet and enough for 
30 to 40 hills. About 10 lbs. will plant an acre. We 
recommend using Semesan Jr., with Sweet Corn as well 
as Field Corn. For large amounts see Market Gardeners’ 
list, page 35. Sweet Corn seed is very short this season 
and our prices are made subject to stocks being unsold 
upon receipt of the order. 
148. GOLDEN-SUNSHINE. (76 days.) This 
new valuable variety was developed and introduced 
by Dr. Yeager of the North Dakota Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. It has a rich golden color; the ears are 
about one inch longer than the ears of Golden Bantam 
and usually have 12 rows instead of 8, while the quality 
practically equals that of the famous Bantam. The most 
important feature of Golden Sunshine Corn is its ex¬ 
treme earliness. It is actually 5 to 7 days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. Our stock of this new corn is especially 
fine. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; % lh., 25c; 
lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
136. MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. (78 days.) 
Larger than the original White Cory and still one of 
the very earliest varieties of sweet corn. It was named 
Mammoth White Cory Ijecause the ears are so large for 
an extra early variety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; y 2 lb., 
25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
Golden Bantam. 
142. ★GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most pop¬ 
ular variety in the United States. Everyone likes Golden 
Bantam. Indeed, many people will not take any other when 
it. is obtainable. The flavor is deliciously distinct, superior 
to that of any other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually 
less than 6 inches in length and several on a stalk, are 
perhaps higher in sugar content than any other -corn. It 
is only 10 to 12 days later than Early July, making a 
good succession when both varieties are planted at the 
same time. 
The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, 
while the cob is small, and the flavor delicious. Large pkt. 
(2 ozs.), 5c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., 
$1.10, postpaid. 
139 y 2 . ★COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (93 days.) 
Often called ‘‘Shoepeg” corn because of the long, narrow 
pointed kernels, with their crowded and irregular arrange¬ 
ment on the cob. It is a distinct late variety, with 2 to 
5 big ears on a large stalk. A favorite main crop sweet 
corn, packed from tip to butt with long pearly-white kernels 
set closely on a remarkably small cob. Sweeter and finer 
flavored than any other white corn and one of the' best of 
the late varieties for table use. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., 
$1.50, postpaid. 
141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID. A 
cross of two inbred Bantalns. It is midseason about 4 days 
later than regular Bantam. Stalks average about 6 ft. in 
height and very sturdy. Two ears are usually produced on 
each stock averaging 8 inches in length. It will yield about 
50% more than regular Bantam and is resistant to. Stew¬ 
arts Disease. Hybrid corns are remarkable for their uni¬ 
formity of stock, ears, and time of ripening. For the 
home gardens it should be planted at intervals otherwise 
it will all ripen at one time. For canning this variety can¬ 
not be beaten. Quality is excellent. Seed stocks must be 
produced each year from hybrids and we caution our cus¬ 
tomers not to save seed as it will not give satisfactory 
results. Pkt., 15c; y 2 lb., 35c; lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.10; 5 
lbs., $2.20, postpaid. 
147. ★STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. (96 days.) 
The best known and most largely planted of all late varieties. It makes 
the largest ear and the most fodder of any sweet corn we list, and the 
corn is tender, sweet, and of excellent flavor. Its popularity is also due 
to the fact that it remains long in the milk before ripening up, thereby 
lengthening its season for table use; 
hence the name, Evergreen. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 
35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.30, post¬ 
paid. 
139. ★EARLY CHAMPION. 
(Kendal’s Giant.) (88 days.) One 
of the best main crop, second-early 
varieties. Stalks large and leafy; 
strong-growing and dependable. The 
ears are large, usually two on a 
stalk. Kernels are large and white 
and full of milk; 10 to 12 rows to 
the ear. 
An all-around good sweet corn 
for either home or market. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; % 
lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs.,

145. EARLY EVERGREEN. (88 days.) An extra 
fine strain of Stowell’s Evergreen with large ears, yet 
ready for the table 7 to 8 days earlier than Stowell’s. It 
retains the fine sugary flavor and tenderness of kernel that 
have made the Evergreens popular. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 
10c; 2 pkts., 15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., 
$1.30, postpaid. 
138. ★HOWLING MOB. (85 days.) This variety 
is so valuable that it heads the list with many growers. 
When it was first offered the demand for it became so 
loud and clamorous that it was given its queer but appro¬ 
priate name. It is one of the best flavored and most tender 
of all second-early or main crop varieties. Very productive, 
ears nine to ten inches long, with sixteen rows. Large pkt. 
(2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; l / 2 lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 
65c; 5 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
142%. GOLDEN OR BANTAM EVERGREEN. 
(88 days.) Many attempts have been made to combine the 
sweetness, earliness, color and flavor of Golden Bantam, 
with the tender skin and large ear of the Evergreen. The Bantam Ever¬ 
green is the only really successful cross. A fine second-planting variety.

5 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
144. GOLDEN GEM. (70 
days.) We introduced this new ex¬ 
tra early yellow sweet corn six 
years ago. It is without doubt the 
finest early yellow corn so far in¬ 
troduced. It is just as early as any 
of the white varieties and will sell 
much more readily than the white. 
The ears of Golden. Gem are rather 
small, averaging from 6 to 7 inches 
in length, 8 rows to the ear. Golden 
Gem is 10 days ahead of Golden 
Bantam and the quality fully equal 
to that famous old variety. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; y 2 
lb., 3Cc; lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 95c; 5 lbs.,
