A UI U I^ariy. dayi a f ter planting. Scores 
of our customers who know this variety say that 
It surpasses all other early white Sweet Corns In 
quality. The ears are from 8 to 10 Inches long, 
and contain 8 rows of pure white kernels, 
which are large and extra deep for an early 
Corn. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet high, can be 
planted more thickly than most varieties, and 
frequently produoe two ears to the stalk. On 
account of its earliness, size and quality. It Is 
unsurpassed by any variety for home use or 
purposes. Many of our market-garden 
customers practically monopolize the early trade 
in Sweet Corn by growing Ford’s Early. It very 
frequently sells for 50o per dos. on the early 
market. If the seed is planted at intervals of about two 
weeks through the season, Ford’s Early will furnish a suc¬ 
cession of Sweet Corn until frost kills the plants. See il¬ 
lustration at the left. Pkt. 10c, y 2 lb. 20c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs.

FORD’S SOUND SWEET 
CORN 
For a good many years we have been especially Interested 
in developing new varieties of Sweet Corn. A good many 
experiments have been made, and from all of these we 
have retained four sorts that we can recommend to all our 
friends—Ford’s Early, Ford’s Golden Sugar, Ford’s Nectar 
and Ford’s Improved Mammoth. These four Sweet Corns 
will keep your table supplied from early summer until late 
September, or even into October. 
Sweet Corn should be planted from May 1 to July 1, In 
hills 8 to 4 feet apart each way, 5 kernels to a hill, or in 
drills, covering an inch deep. When the plants are 4 to 6 
inches tall, pull out all but two or three. Cultivate frequently. 
One pound of seed will plant about 200 hills; 12 pounds 
for an acre. As there is no legal weight for Sweet Corn, 
we quote It by the pound. Different varieties vary in weight 
per measured bushel, from 40 to 48 pounds. 
Price* on corn in 10 lb. lots or under inolude postage. If 
to go by express or called for at our store, deduct 5c from 
lb., 10c from 3 lbs., 10c from 5 lbs., 15c from 10 lbs. 
The grandest of all second-early Sweet Corns. 
• Nectar was originated by Mr. Hamilton De- 
Graw, of New York, in 1906; it is a cross between Malak- 
hoff and White Evergreen. It is unusually productive. It 
is very hardy and will stand more wet and cold weather 
without rotting in the ground than many early varieties. 
The stalks grow from 6 to 7 feet high, and many of them 
produce two large ears. There are usually 12 or 14 rows 
of very deep, pure white kernels, resembling Stowell’s 
Evergreen. For market gardening this is the second best 
early variety to follow Ford’s Early. The ears will remain 
in good condition for some time after they are ready for the 
table. Pkt. 10c, y 2 lb. 20c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, 5 lbs. $1.15,
