It is generally conceded that Connecticut 
grown seed sweet corn is of superior quality. 
Seed is produced here in large quantities for 
shipment to the most critical trade. 
Note: Varieties are listed in approximate order of 
earliness. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Surprise. (72 days). A valuable extra 
early white corn. Early Surprise, according to 
trial ground tests, is even earlier than the Early 
Mayflower. Seed planted May 22nd was ready 
in 69 days. A large, attractive, strictly white 
ear with 12 rows. Price per pt., 25c.; per qt., 
45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Spanish Gold. (72 days). An extra early, 
developed by Connecticut Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. Ears 6 to 7 inches, mostly 10 - 
rowed; in season 3 or 4 days earlier than 
Golden Sunshine. Price per pt., 25c.; per qt., 
45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Golden Market. (75 days). One to three days

bles, except slightly larger ear. A valuable 
early corn for the market. Price per pt., 25c.; 
per qt., 45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Golden Sunshine. (76 days). Four to five 
days earlier than Golden Bantam; much larger;

rows instead of eight and possessing that su¬ 
perb quality of the original not found in other 
yellow sorts. Although a slightly smaller ear

Golden Bantam. (80 days). Original type.

per qt., 45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.
