SWEET CORN — Delicious Roasting Ears for Two Months 
1 Pound for 300 Hills, 10 Pounds per Acre—Sweet Corn Should Not Be Planted More Than 1^4 Inches Deep 
M OST of us make a single planting of sweet corn; consequently, we 
have those delicious ears for just a few days a year. You can spread 
this season over two months by planting different varieties at the 
same time maturing at different seasons; or by planting same varieties if 
you have a choice, a week or ten days between each planting. In the little 
town garden, a short row or maybe two or three dozen hills planted as early 
in May as possible, then two weeks later another row between potato rows 
and continue this for several plantings. You will be surprised at the increased 
value of this little garden. On the farm, plant a good acreage, enough to 
supply the house every day and a sufficient quantity for canning and drying.

HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid Sweet Corns are produced by 1 
| crossing inbred strains, and should yield § 
50% more marketable ears than ordinary j 
? sweet corn. The ears are more uniform in j 
i size, larger, and most stalks produce two j 
■i good ears. The stalks themselves are stur- 
1 dier, less susceptible to lodging, corn dis- j 
| eases, and damage by drought than open ■ 
| pollinated corn. 
PURGOLD HYBRID 
A Pure Golden Bantam Cross 
When this wonderful Hybrid Sweet Corn was 
produced, we had five points in view. 
First-—A large, deep kerneled ear. 
Second—Sweet and tender golden kernels. 
Third—A large, vigorous stalk that would 
stand drought and wind. 
Fourth—A sweet corn that would not make 
too many suckers. 
Fifth—A corn that would produce at least 
two good ears per stalk. 
In Purgold we have a Hybrid Sweet Corn 
that is better not only for the home gardener but 
one that will make wonderful returns to the 
gardener who raises corn for market. 
A MESSAGE TO THE MARKET 
GARDENER 
When you plant Purgold Hybrid, you have 
solved one of the biggest problems facing the 
market gardener; that is, disposing of your crop 
at a profit. 
The ears are so uniform in size and shape, the 
quality is so fine, the kernels are so deep and 
tender that once you have sold a customer some 
of this corn, they will refuse to buy common 
corn where there is always a large percentage of 
inferior ears. 
It will cost you about $1.25 more per acre to 
plant Purgold Hybrid than common sweet corn, 
but this will be returned to you many times in 
the increased value of your crop. Purgold Hy¬ 
brid is about three days later than Golden 
Bantam.

• GOLDEN BANTAM 
Fifty per cent of the sweet corn planted in the 
United States is of the Golden Bantam variety. 
On account of the hardiness of this variety it 
allows early planting consequently it reaches the 
roasting ear stage very early. You can sow this 
as early as any variety of field corn. The stalks 
grow only about 4 to 5 feet high and bear 
generally two good ears to the stalk. When 
ready for use the kernels are rich golden yellow 
color—a mighty satisfying sweet corn. Prices:

• GOLDEN GEM SWEET CORN 
After having produced Golden Sunshine Corn, 
a remarkable early yellow sweet corn, Prof. A. F. 
Yeager, Horticulturist at the North Dakota 
Agricultural College Experiment Station, has 
bred Golden Gem Sweet Corn, which is days 
earlier than that famous variety. 
The ears are of good size, averaging 7 to 8 
inches in length, and are borne close to the 
ground on stalks about 316 feet high. From one 
to three ears are produced on each stalk. Golden

broad, meaty, rich golden yellow, very tender 
and of the sweetest and most sugary flavor 
imaginable. The greatest feature, however, is 
its extreme earliness! With Golden Gem, market 
gardeners may secure even better prices and home 
gardeners may have absolutely the very earliest 
yellow sweet corn! Prices: V3 pt., 15c; 1 lb.,
