GARDEN CORN 
Plant from 
April Till August 
The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are 
hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns 
and make excellent roasting ears before the 
sugar corns are ready. 
CUIiTTJRE.—Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excel¬ 
lent garden corn may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and 
thoroughly worked before planting. Plant the early varieties the last of 
March or early in April; SWEET CORNS ARE TENDER and should not 
be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable 
to rot. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, and continue 
plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in August for 
a succession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant during July 
or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; 
10 to 12 pounds plants an acre. 
ALL OUR CORNS ARE TREATED WITH SEMESAN JR. 
No. 150. Bland’s Extra Early (65 Days) 
If you want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood, 
you must plant Bland’s. 
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, about a week 
earlier than Extra Early Adams. No corn we have ever offered has had 
such constant and growing demand; practically every general order calls 
for Bland’s Extra Early. It makes an attractive ear of good size and fine 
quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. If you 
are like most gardeners and take a pride in having the earliest garden 
in your neighborhood, you will have to plant Bland’s. We recommend 
it not only to the private gardener, but to those who grow for market, 
for in earliness it is ahead of any garden corn in cultivation and the size 
and appearance of the ear should make it a ready seller. By mail post¬ 
paid, pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 45c; 5 lbs. 85c; 10' lbs. $1.45. 
Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; 5 lbs. 60c; 10' lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs. $9.00. 
No. 151. Trucker’s Favorite (so Days) 
Make a planting of Trucker’s Favorite to make bigger ears to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early. 
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as 
Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches long, 
with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many prefer to 
sugar corn. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and can be planted 
weeks earlier,, and is ready for the table or market in about 70 days. 
Although not a sugar corn it makes the finest roasting ears. We believe 
we are safe in saying that nearly 90 per cent of the table corns shipped 
North by truck growers is Trucker’s Favorite: on the Richmond market 
it outsells all garden corns and brings top prices. Unfortunately, since 
we introduced Trucker’s Favorite the name seems to have appealed to 
many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been applied to many other 
corns. If you order Trucker’s Favorite from half a dozen seed houses 
Trucker’s you would probably get a different corn from each. To have the real 
Favorite. Trucker’s Favorite corn order from us, who originated it. By mail post¬ 
paid, pkt. 10c; y z lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 40c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.25.

Bland’B Extra Early 
No. 155 Norfolk Market < 80 Bays)—Not as early as Big 
u. isa. iioriont market Early Adams, but makes a larger 
ear, averaging about 9 inches long. The grains are iairly deep, 
and when at roasting ear stage are tender and milky. It is hard¬ 
ier than any of the sugar corns, withstands cold ground better 
and can be planted much earlier. It is a good early corn, but not 
as highly regarded as our Trucker’s Favorite which in the opin¬ 
ion of Southern market growers is the finest and most profitable 
early roasting ear for shipping and for the home garden. If not 
used for roasting ears it makes a good yielding corn for feeding.

No. 153. Wood’s Southern Snowflake (85-90 Days). Prob¬ 
ably more Snow¬ 
flake is shipped from Florida as roasting-ears than any other 
corn. Not so early as other corns on this page, but it makes a 
big ear, on good land generally two ears, and does quite well on 
poor, thin land. Has 16 rows of large, deep grain on a small cob; 
has a long shuck that protects the ears from worms. What is 
not used for roasting-ears makes the finest snow-white water- 
ground meal. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 15c; lb. 25c;

No. 154. Ideal or Big Early Adams 
(75 Days) —Intermediate as to earliness and size of 
ear, between Bland’s Extra Early and Trucker’s Fa¬ 
vorite. It is hardier than any of the sugar corns and 
can be planted earlier. The ears measure 8 to 9 ins. 
long, with 12 or more rows of round white grains to 
the ear. Grows about 6 feet high, allowing close plant¬ 
ing; early and hardy. This is a good corn to come in 
after Bland’s Extra Early and before the bigger-eared 
Trucker’s Favorite. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; y 2 lb.
