Corn is truly a native of this country, developed before the new 
world was discovered. It can be raised with some success in every 
state in the union, however, for best results it requires a growing 
season of seventy to eighty days and with plenty of summer heat. 
Any good garden soil will grow corn but it will mature quicker 
and be mqre tender if a good commercial fertilizer is used at the 
rate of about 11 pounds to a 100 foot row. 
Generally speaking, it is better to plant the early varieties in 
drills and the later varieties, of course, in hills, so spaced that cul¬ 
tivation may be done both ways without disturbing the plants. If 
your garden is of the weedy sort it is better to plant all varieties in 
hills because it is thus possible to control weeds easier when plants 
are in long rows. 
For the early types make the drills 2 to 2% feet apart and 1% 
inches deep. For growing in rows put a seed every 3 inches in a 
drill with the expectation of thinning to 6-inch intervals as soon as 
possible. The thinned plants cannot be transplanted with any 
success. Packet, 10c; ^/i lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c, postpaid. 
YELLOW VARIETY 
Golden Bantam. This variety of corn is second to none for 
tender, sweet and juicy ears. Although not as early as some types, 
its exceptionally fine quality makes it well worth waiting for. Stalks 
about 5 feet tall. Eight straight rows of kernels to the cob. 
GOLDEN BANTAM CORN 
Improved Golden Bantam. An improved strain 
over the old type Golden Bantam, however, we still 
recommend the old fashioned variety for Northwest 
Qonditions. This newer strain has ten rows of ker¬ 
nels to the cob. 
Golden West. A very fine early variety. Much 
the same flavor and tenderness as Golden Bantam 
and exceedingly popular with market gardeners. 
Ten to twelve rows to the cob. 
Early Sunshine. One of the early varieties of 
sweet corn. Matures 3 or 4 days earlier than the 
majority of others. Taller and more vigorous with 
12 rows to the ear.

green. 
POP CORN 
Butter Crisp. The kernels of this variety pop 
out large and fluffy and resembles buttered pop com 
because of its creamy color.

years. Kernels pop out large and snowy white. Ex¬
