Ford’s Golden Sugar. 
tween the White Evergreen and Golden Bantam. 
In 1915 we offered it for sale for the first time and 
it has given excellent satisfaction to those who 
have grown it. It is sufficient to say that of all 
the yellow Sweet Corns you will like this the best. 
The stalk grows 6 to 7 feet tall; ears are of good 
size, larger than Golden Bantam, and mature a 
little later than that variety. Thus it would be 
classed as a medium late variety. It is of a rich 
golden color, and our customers say it is the finest 
flavored yellow Sweet Corn they have grown. Pkt.

borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is 
fully equal to Golden Bantam in every way, ma¬ 
tures six days later and is two to three times as 
productive. In addition this corn is very resist¬ 
ant to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s 
Disease which often causes failure with other

this corn too highly for canners and table use.
