BURGESS’ NORTHERN GROWN SWEET CORN tf 
One pound for 150 hills; 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
We take pride in our select strains of Sweet Corn, which are from five 
to ten days earlier than the same varieties produced farther south or west. 
This means a great deal to the gardener who wishes to have his corn first 
on the market, for it is then that the best prices are obtained. Our Northern 
Grown Sweet Corn is also noted for its sweetness, being much sweeter than 
Western corn. While our prices may be a trifle higher than those charged 
by seedsmen who handle Western Corn, the extra price you will pay will be 
a most profitable investment. No matter where you live, your best assurance 
of an extra early crop of Sweet Corn of the best quality is to plant our 
carefully grown seed. Our seed will meet the requirements of the most critical 
market garden trade. 
Gill’s Early Golden Market 
Finest Extra Early Variety 
Gill’s Early 
Golden Market 
Golden Sunshine 
A few days earlier 
than Golden Bantam, 
with ears the same 
length, but 10 to 12- 
rowed instead of 8 and 
of equally good color 
and quality. 
This is a most outstanding development of the yellow kernel type. Ears 
G y 2 to 7 inches long, with 12 rows of large, sweet, creamy yellow kernels. 
Matures a week ahead of Golden Bantam, and is especially desirable for its 
extreme earliness, sweetness and richness of flavor. Popular with market 
growers and at roadside stands. 
Barden’s Wonder Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
This matchless Sweet Corn is a cross between Golden Bantam and Early 
Wonder, the result of which is a Bantam Sweet Corn with all the qualities 
and sweetness of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but with larger ears set 
up higher on the stalk. Ears 8 to 10 inches long, filled with 8 rows of broad, 
rich, golden yellow kernels. Stalk 5 to G feet high. Critical market and 
home gardeners and canners have long been looking for a Bantam Sweet 
Corn with these improved qualities. One of the big canning companies re¬ 
ports that Barden’s Wonder Bantam produces one-third more tonnage per 
acre than any other Bantam Corn they have ever grown, and will consider 
using no other in the future. Tests each year have proved it to be as early 
as Golden Bantam and much more vigorous and productive. 
Early Saskatchewan 
THE EARLIEST WHITE SWEET CORN 
The earliest white Sweet Corn, maturing 8 to 10 days ahead of Golden Ban¬ 
tam. Quality superior to that of most varieties of extra early Corn: ex¬ 
tremely hardy: can be planted early, withstanding cold, wet weather to a 
wonderful degree. Ears 6 to 7 inches long; 8 rowed ; kernels pure white, sweet 
and tender. Very productive for an extra early sort, usually producing two 
ears to the stalk. Highly recommend this variety for home use, and as a garden’s Wonder Bantam 
market sort it is a money maker. 
Burgess’ Earliest Golden 
Only a day or two later than our Early Saskatchewan, very 
hardy and can stand early planting. A wonderful yielder when 
planted on good soils. Market gardeners will find no equal among 
the yellow corns for extremely early planting. Plan on plant¬ 
ing some of this variety and be the first to have yellow corn in 
your locality. Ears G to 7 inches long, with 10 to 12 rows of 
tender golden kernels. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. The most popular early Sweet Corn; 
sweet, rich and delicious. Ears 6 to 7 inches in length and 
compactly filled with kernels which, when ready for the table, 
are of a creamy-yellow color. Golden Bantam is suited for ex¬ 
tra early and later plantings up to July 15th. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. The standard main crop variety 
in all sections. Michigan grown Stowell’s Evergreen is recog¬ 
nized everywhere as the best type of its class. Our strain is 
large eared, hardy, productive, sweet and tender, and remains a 
long time in cooking condition. 
GOLDEN EVERGREEN. The best main crop variety, the re¬ 
sult of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, 
possessing all the splendid qualities of both of these popular 
varieties and better than either. It is the finest and sweetest 
corn ever introduced. The ears are as large as Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green and is of true Evergreen habit, remaining equally as long 
a time in good cooking condition. It is of the same color as 
Golden Bantam, and has all the delicious qualities of that 
variety, with an added sweetness and superior flavor. In season 
half way between Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. For 
the home garden and fancy market trade this corn has no equal. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. The sweetest of all white varie¬ 
ties. Due to the irregular arrangement of the kernels on the 
cob, it is an excellent sort to grow where worms bother the 
ears, for instead of working a row into the center of the ear, 
the worms have no row to follow and work around the end of 
the cob. Very prolific, rarely producing less than three ears to 
the stalk. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length and grain is 
very deep. Has delicious flavor all its own. A few days later 
than Stowell's Evergreen.
