SWEET CORN 
Varieties Listed in Order of Earliness 
CULTURE. Have your soil well prepared but do not 
plant sweet corn until the ground is warmed up thor¬ 
oughly. Then the early varieties may be planted in 
hills 30 inches apart both ways while the later varieties 
should be planted 3 to 3^ feet both ways. Plant 5 or 
6 kernels to the hill from 1 to 2 inches deep. Cultivate 
to keep free from weeds, and when corn is well started 
thin to 4 stalks to the hill. 
FERTILIZER FOR SWEET CORN 
Sweet corn will develop and mature 
much faster if given a good applica¬ 
tion of commercial fertilizer either at 
planting time or when making first 
cultivating. We recommend three to 
five hundred pounds of 4-16-4 per acre. 
Golden Gem* 
This is the earliest yellow sweet corn 
ever introduced. The stalks are very 
short and the ears come close to the 
ground; are small but of very good 
quality. 
Spanish Gold* 
This is also one of the earliest yellow 
sweet corns. It is a few days later but 
considerably larger both in stalk and 
ears than Golden Gem. 
Early Dow* 
Early Dow is the earliest white sweet 
corn on the market; about two to three 
weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
This White Sweet Corn is much in de¬ 
mand until the yellow varieties become 
plentiful. 
Early Golden Market* i^ummTr) 
A new Early yellow Sweet Corn that is 
very popular with the Market Gardeners. 
It is larger than Sunshine and about one 
week earlier. It is also a good yielder. 
Golden Sunshine* 
In this corn of rich golden color we 
find a fine sweet variety maturing a 
week or ten days earlier than Golden 
Bantam. This is one of the earliest of 
all the yellow or “Golden Corns.” The 
ears are of equal size with Bantam but 
12-rowed instead of 8.

Because of the extreme tenderness, com¬ 
bined with the rich exquisite sugary 
flavor, the Golden Giant has become the 
standard of perfection for sugar corn.

Black Mexican 
This sweet corn is the sweetest of all 
and is noted for its delicious flavor and 
fine grain qualities. The ripe kernels are 
bluish-black. Consider it a second-early 
variety. 
A r' l l r I I (Golden Country 
Asgrow VJOlden Lolonel Gentleman) 
Received Award of Merit in the 1936 All 
America Vegetable Selections. Asgrow 
Golden Colonel is identical to Country 
Gentleman in every respect except for its 
bright yellow color. It has taken ten 
years to develop this new strain and to 
1 combine the fine flavor and rich golden 
color of the Bantam parent and peg type 
of kernel of Country Gentleman. 
Early Evergreen 
Although called Early Evergreen it is not 
real early, but rather should be classed as 
a late sweet corn. It is, however, the 
earliest of the late varieties. It produces 
large white ears of extra fine quality, 
_ which mature about 10 to 15 days ahead 
Goldsn Bantam of Stowell’s Late Evergreen. We recom- 
Sweat Corn mend it very highly for both home and 
market gardens.

SWEET CORN—Continued 
Golden Giant Evergreen* 
A large yellow sweet corn obtained 
by crossing Golden Bantam with 
Stowell’s Evergreen. The ears are 8 
to 9 inches long and contain 12 to 
14 rows of beautiful yellow kernels. 
The flavor is very much like Golden 
Bantam. Matures about two weeks 
later. 
Country Gentleman 
A great favorite for the home garden. 
It does not grow very large but the 
white kernels being very deep and 
packed so tightly together that the 
food value from one ear is almost as 
great as that on larger ears. The 
flavor is delicious. 
Stowell's Late Evergreen 
The best known and most popular 
late variety. Its large ears with long 
deep white kernels of a rich sugary 
flavor cannot be surpassed. 
POP CORN 
CULTURE. Sow in rows 3 feet apart, 2 to 3 inches 
deep, as soon as danger of frost is over at the rate of 4 
to 6 pounds to the acre, or 1 ounce to 40-foot row. Thin 
plants to 10 to 12 inches in the row. Care given in 
curing determines the popping qualities. 
Gould's South American 
This variety has become very popular. The kernels are 
nearly round and deep orange in color. When popped 
the kernels are nearly twice the size of other corn and 
are of a creamy yellow color. Popped kernel has no 
hard center. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet high and pro¬ 
duce 2 to 3 large ears on each stalk. 
Gould's Japanese Dwarf Hulless 
Very tender and almost hulless. Ears are short and 
chunky. Although the kernels are very small they pop 
to large size, being very tender and brittle. 
Black Beauty 
A very early variety of a blue-black color. The kernels 
are large and smooth, popping to a very large size, very 
crisp and tender. 
Corn is postpaid only in pack¬ 
ets. In half pound lots or more, 
add postage at the Parcel Post 
rates given on page 3,
