It is generally conceded that Connecticut- 
grown seed sweet corn is of superior quality. 
Seed is produced here in large quantities for 
shipment to the most critical trade. 
Note: Varieties are listed in approximate order of earliness. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Surprise. (72 days). A valuable extra 
early white corn. Early Surprise, according to 
trial ground tests, is even earlier than the Early 
Mayflower. Seed planted May 22nd was ready 
in 69 days. A large, attractive, strictly white 
ear with 12 rows. Per pt, 25c.; qt., 45c.; 10 
lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Spanish Gold. (72 days). An extra early, 
developed by Connecticut Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. Ears 6 to 7 inches, mostly 10- 
rowed; in season 3 or 4 days earlier than Gold¬ 
en Sunshine. Per pt., 25c.; qt., 45c.; 10 lbs., 
$1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.

early corn for the market. Per pt., 25c.; qt., 
45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Golden Sunshine. (76 days). Four to five

rows instead of eight and possessing that su¬ 
perb quality of the original not found in other

lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Golden Bantam. (80 days). Original type.

to July 15 for this vicinity. Per pt., 25c.; qt., 
45c.; 10 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $16.00.
