corns—Golden Bantam and Country 
Gentleman. It won an Award of 
Merit in the All-America trials for 
1936. In late season, large size of ear, 
and “shoe-peg” kernel, it resembles 
the latter, but only the Golden Ban- 
tam strain could produce its rich c 9| 01 ' 
and toothsome sweetness. Pkt. 10c;

GOlden uem tirely new variety was 
developed by the North Dakota Agri¬ 
cultural College. The ears, which are 
about the same size as Bantam, are de¬ 
liciously sweet and grow very low on 
a short stalk. In fact, the lower ear 
sometimes is on the stalk at a point 
just below the surface of the soil.

shine have combined their divinely 
guided chemistry to produce the nec¬ 
tar-like sweetness of this golden Corn.

rows of grains instead of eight as 
Golden Bantam. Very rapid grower.

from the small peglike kernels irregu¬ 
larly placed on the cob. Medium sized 
ear, with small cob, giving great depth 
to the kernels. Quality distinctive. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. (80 days). The 
old popular variety. Hardy and pro¬ 
ductive ; tender and sugary, remaining 
a long time in a condition suitable for 
eating. A good sort to plant for fod¬ 
der, as it makes a rank growth of 
heavy forage.
