(Sweet Corn—Continued) 
*GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM — Su¬ 
perior to the original Golden Bantam in quality and 
nearly twice the size, also one week earlier. Nearly 
all ears carry 12 rows of deep, rich, golden yellow 
kernels set close upon the cob. Do not compare this 
with the original strain, as it is far superior in 
every respect, and any gardener who places this 
corn on the market will command better sales and 
prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, canning or 
drying. We carry the exclusive seed of this im¬ 
proved strain. Remember, we are improving this 
variety every year, and if you wish the up-to-date 
selection buy direct from us. We have received 
many letters of praise for this corn and its good 
qualities represent 20 years of earnest work on our 
part. Many of our customers will have nothing 
else. Pkt. 10c; % lb. 20c: lb. 35c. E. or F., lb. 
25c; 10 lbs. @ 18c; 25 lbs. @ 17c; 100 lbs. @) 16c.

tam with Purdue 39. Three or four days later 
than Improved Golden Bantam, but more vigorous 
and produces a heavier tonnage per acre, Pkt. 10c; 
Ib. 25c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs, @ 30c. 
*GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM — A hybrid sweet 
corn especially valuable where Stewart’s disease 
(wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties. 
Excellent for market gardeners and canners. 12 row 
ears, more resistant to worm damage and heaviest 
yielding of any yellow sweet corn variety. Matures 
very uniformly. Pkt. 10c; ^ lb. 25c; lb. 40c. E. or 
F., 10 lbs. @ 30c.

high quality. A cross between Howling Mob and 
Golden Bantam. Matures about ten days after Im¬ 
proved Golden Bantam. Popular yellow corn for late 
markets. Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; lb, 30c. E. or F., 
lb. 25c; 10 lbs. @ 17c.

first early corn, this strain is considerably earlier 
than Stowell’s Evergreen, which in general char¬ 
acter it resembles. Pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; lb. 30c.

FIELD CORN 
The growing of field corn has now reached a 
stage where it is past being an experiment, and 
with acclimated seed there is no difficulty to obtain 
success. We do not and will not handle any but 
local grown seed of Dent Corn and our customers 
may feel sure of getting acclimated seed. 
♦ALBANY DENT—A cross between Minn. No. 
13 and Pride of The North. It has the earliness of 
the No. 13, and the deep grain and small cob of 
the Pride of The North. It has been given careful 
selection and is, we believe, one of the finest sorts 
for grain or ensilage. It is very early and produc¬ 
es large, heavy ears on tall stalks. Pkt. 10c; lb. 25c.
