tenous taste is much liked. Prob¬ 
ably the finest known vegetable for 
table use. Easy to grow, the plant 
is a vigorous grower, and resists 
the dry and hot weather very well.

ger of frost is over. Transplant 
the seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart,

SWEET CORN 
Good seed of all Sweet 
Corn varieties is very 
scarce. I am offering you 
strictly clean, true-to- 
name seed of perfect 
germination. 
Sonderegger's 
Early Golden 
■ROQ9 (65 days) I have 
developed this 
variety here in our trial 
grounds after many years 
of careful selection. For 
the Middle West it has 
proven to be one of the 
very best sorts of yellow Sweet Corn. The 
stalks are medium height, the ears are 7 to 9 
inches long, filled with large golden yellow 
kernels, which are unusually sweet, and of 
extra fine flavor. It is also extra early, 
making it one of the best table sorts for 
early or late use, also for canning. Packet, 
10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 35c 3 lbs., $1.00; postpaid. 
B305 Golden Cross Hybrid 
This variety is produced by crossing two of 
the best yeilow varieties. Stalks grow about 
6 ft. tall and practically every stalk has one 
and a good many have two nice large ears 
7 to 8 inches long with 10 to 14 rows of 
medium sized kernels which are of the finest 
quality. I can recommend this variety to you 
as I am certain you will be satisfied with it 
under normal weather conditions. Packet, 
10c; 14 lb., 15c; lb., 50c; postpaid. 
B304 Sonderegger's Improved 
Early Evergreen il^TkyVeal- 
lier than the Stowell’s Evergreen. The ears 
grow to a good size, about 7 to 8 inches long, 
are well filled and kernels are of a very 
sweet flavor and tender. A verv good can¬ 
ning sort. Packet, 8c; % lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 
3 lbs., $1.00; postpaid. 
Use it fresh, 
and can the rest for winter. 
B296 Sonderegger's Earliest 
(60 days) Plant this variety for the earliest 
crop. Originated in Montana where the sea¬ 
sons are short, and where only very early 
varieties will mature. Very large ears, with 
pearly white kernels of finest quality. I 
recommend this Sweet Corn. Packet, 8c; y 2

Just as soon as Sweet Corn is picked from the 
stalk a chemical reaction sets in and the 
sugar turns to starch. The sooner you can get the corn—after 
picking—into the boiling pot the better quality it will be. 
POP CORN 
There are no holdover supplies of Pop Corn on hand. A good 
time to start growing a patch of Pop Corn; it will bring good 
prices. Plant same as ordinary field corn, but only 2 in. deep.

— - PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS - 
SWEET CORN: 1 pound will plant about 150 hills; 15 pounds will plant one acre in hills. Sweet Corn being liable to rot in cold 
or wet weather should not be planted before May or until the ground has become warm. Cultivate frequently until tassels appear. 
The same applies to POP CORN, except that it is planted very shallow, covering the seed only 2 inches deep. MUSHROOMS: 
For your first planting I would suggest you follow the instructions of “How to Grow Mushrooms,” a booklet I am offering. Once 
you have grown Mushrooms you will find it quite simple for times to come to grow large quantities of this valuable plant.
