14 Vegetable Seed 
Vick’s Garden and Floral Guide 
vSweet Corn 
Sweet Corn should not be planted very early in the season, 
for it will not make any progress until the weather is warm, and 
the seed will be very apt to rot. Plant in hills, three feet apart foi 
the earliest varieties, and three and a half to four feet for the late 
ones. One quart will plant 200 hills; 8 to 10 quarts for an acre 
in hills. 
Packet, 10 cents; ]/ 2 pint, 15 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 
40 cents; except as noted. 
Vick’s Golden Nugget 
The. Most Popular Street Com of Recent Years 
This extra choice variety was introduced by us in 1892, and for 
several years has been a favorite with thousands of our customers. 
The ears are large, from one and a half to two inches in diameter, 
and about seven inches long, producing twelve rows of plump, 
tender, sweet and milky kernels, and are ready for use very soon 
after the eatly sorts, and far excel any other variety in quality and 
flavor. When cooked it is a beautiful creamy color, making it 
particularly attractive for the table. The superiority of Golden 
Nugget is so strongly marked that we want all our friends to try it. 
The seed is grown on our* own farm, under skillful supervision 
carefully cured, and in all ways up to the mark of Vick Quality. 
Packet, 15 cents; l / 2 pt., 25 cents ; pt., 40 cents ; qt., 60 cents.

value, as the first Sweet Corn will bring two or three times the price it 
commands when the supply becomes general. Also desirable for home garden.

strain make it the largest and best extra early in our list. The stalks are

who cater to the best trade should plant this variety.

Dear Sirs : In regard to the seeds which 1 got from you I cannot praise them 
too highly ; the different varieties of Sweet Corn {especially the White Corn) 
were the ftiest I have ever seen, and all other kinds which 17 ‘eceived from 
you were in every way satisfactory , while my field of White Plume Celery 
( raised from your stock of seeds ) is the admiration of all who see it ; also my 
Carnations and Nasturtiums are most beautiful. Wishing you success, lam, 
Truly yours, MRS. JENNIE L. DYER.
