Sweet Com 
Golden Sunshine 
Golden Sunshine. (50 
days). Blue skies and 
sunshine have com¬ 
bined their divinely 
guided chemistry to 
produce the nectar¬ 
like sweetness of this 
delicious golden corn. 
The ears are compact, 
about same size as 
Golden Bantam, but 
more refined in ap¬ 
pearance, having from 
ten to twelve rows of 
grains instead of eight as Golden 
Bantam. It is a very rapid grow¬ 
er ; earliest of the golden group. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Known every¬ 
where. An old one but still king of 
the best, considering everything.

green leaf, crumpled much like Sa¬ 
voy cabbage. The rib is not quite 
as broad as in some varieties. Pkt.,

Tordhook Giant. A superior variety 
of Chard with dark green crumpled 
leaves ; the rib is 2% inches broad. 
It is a wonderful market and home 
sort. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; x / 4 lb.,

Allen’s Choice. Or an improved Malakhoff which vras brought to this country by the U. S. govern¬ 
ment from Russia, and was the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been grown by a local market 
gardener and carefully selected by him until he has a distinct variety of the Malakhoff of his own. 
After careful inspection we have made arrangements to supply our trade with this corn, calling 
it “Allen’s Choice.” Not only the sweetest early Corn but the largest early Corn, better and 
earlier, by far, than Peep o’ Day. White in color. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam. A beautiful yellow Corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both in 
size and in quality. Stalk grows from 5 to 6 ft. high, ears 8 to 10 inches in length. As early as the 
Golden Bantam. It is a variety that is worthy of a trial by any market gardener, canner or garden 
maker. We consider it by our trial to be the best improved Golden Bantam yet put on the market. 
You will be getting both size and quality in this Corn, which took Mr. Barden 5 years to perfect 
and put on the market. 
Country Gentleman. A well-known and deserving old sort that has always been very popular, due 
to its large, compact ears of irregular rows. 
Be Lue’s Golden Giant Sugar Corn. The famous winner of many horticultural prizes. This is 
no fake variety; it is exactly what the gardener has been looking for. Of even better quality 
than Golden Bantam ; will yield twice as much per acre as the Golden Bantam ; larger eared and 
larger stalk, making it the most productive of the best yellow Sweet Corn in existence. We have 
purchased a limited quantity of this seed fi'om the originator who stands back of the above de¬ 
scription. This we offer in limited quantities. 
Golden Bantam. This is a Sweet Corn of most exquisite quality, which when i-eady to use is of a 
bright golden yellow color. It looks rich and is rich, and no mistake. It can be planted very 
early, as it is as hardy as the Extra Early Adams. The small stalks can grow closely together in 
the row and will produce two or three ears each. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Wilt-resistant—high yield—uniform. We 
recommend this new hybrid for places where Stewart’s disease (wilt) 
makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties. This corn, the 
product of crossing two pure lines, is not only resistant to bacterial 
wilt (Stewart’s disease) but produces larger crops of beautiful 
ears. The ears have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels, 
uniform in length (about 8 inches ) of excellent quality. Matures 
a week later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening at 
about the same time. This crossed seed will produce the 
true Golden Cross Bantam described above in 1937. Seed 
from the 1937 crop cannot be saved for 1938, as it will 
break down. The cross has to be made each year. y 4 lb., 
10c; Y> lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.30. 
Hybrid—Spancross C 2. One of the earliest Hybrids and 
will produce a wonderful crop. The highest prices are 
always paid for the first roasting ears and Spancross C 2 
is by far the best Hybrid you can plant for this market. 
The old open pollinated kinds maturing so early are gen¬ 
erally so susceptible to Stewart’s Disease or Bacterial 
Wilt that they seldom produce heavy yields, sometimes 
being destroyed altogether. Spancross C 2 is very wilt- 
resistant. After your first taste it will have a permanent 
place in your garden. In yield tests in 1935 at Colum¬ 
bus, Spancross C 2 yielded 7400 marketable ears as 
against 1400 for the highest yielding open pollinated 
variety. Price per pound, postpaid, 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50.

we can only ask a trial on our Celery

be governed by the results.
