will find the following varieties the very best in 
their respective classes. 
5 lbs. of any one variety of Corn at the 10 lb.

yellow varieties for home and market garden.

der and sweet. Very prolific for so early a Corn.

Golden Sunshine. This corn fills the long felt need 
for a Golden Bantam type that will reach ma¬ 
turity earlier than that variety. The plant is of 
dwarf growth, ears close to the ground. It is 
more than a week earlier, 12 rowed and of 
equally good color, with remarkably high eat¬ 
ing qualities. Pkt. 10c, Vi lb. 15c, 1 lb. 25c,

than Golden Bantam but larger eared. Pl^t. 10c,

Golden Colonel. One of the newer varieties, re¬ 
ceiving the All American Award of Merit for

rich golden color. Kernels very deep, narrow, 
and arranged irregularly without row formation.

HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid Sweet Corn seems to be taking a definite 
position in the lists of Sweet Corn varieties, but 
there is still much confusion as regards their merits 
and uses. Of the several Hybrid and Top Cross 
varieties we consider the three following as out¬ 
standing. 
Golden Cross Bantam. About 5 days later than our 
selected golden bantam and probably one of the 
best Hybrids. The plant and ear characteristics 
are extremely uniform, stalks are sturdy with 
exceptionally broad, vigorous leaves. Ears are 10 
to 14 rowed and the kernels slightly lighter color 
than Golden Bantam. Pkt. 10c, Vz lb. 20c, 1 
lb. 35c, 2 lbs. 65c, 10 lbs. $3.00.

market garden trade. Stalks upright, sturdy and
