CORN-SWEET 
For Field Corn, See Page 38 
This is a crop that never fails to bring 
profitable returns to Florida truckers when 
put on the market early. 
Culture. Plant in well fertilized rows three 
feet apart, in hills every one and one-half 
feet in the row, leaving one or two plants in 
a place. When about knee high, apply 150 
pounds per acre of Sodium Nitrate and same 
amount again when the corn begins to silk 
and tassel. This fertilizer application will 
greatly increase the yield, and will bring your 
crop to earlier maturity. For bud worms, use 
one pound powdered Arsenate of Lead and 
four pounds Hydrated Lime. Drop a little 
in the bud. Ship in special corn crates, six to 
eight dozen to the package. Early plantings 
are made in Florida from January 1 until 
March. 
Plant 1 peck per acre. 
Southern Sweet 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (80 days.) This is a late sweet 
corn especially well adapted to Florida. It produces the larg¬ 
est ears of any variety of true sweet corn, the ears ranging 
from 11 to 12 inches in length, with eighteen to twenty rows 
of large glistening white kernels. The husks fit very tightly 
over the tip, making it difficult for the ear worm to enter. 
The stalks grow to a height of eight to ten feet. Numerous 
tests have shown this to be one of the heaviest yielding vari¬ 
eties of true sweet corn for Florida.

STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. (75 days.) The ears are eight to

white kernels. Stalks are seven and one-half to eight feet tall. 
This is an old standard variety of sugar corn for the Florida 
home garden and market.

GOLDEN GIANT. (70 days.) This is a hybrid of Golden 
Bantam and an early maturing, large-eared, yellow kerneled 
variety. It possesses the fine qualities of both parents, and it 
is considerably larger eared than Golden Bantam. Ears are 
seven and one-half to eight inches long, with twelve to four¬ 
teen rows of large, broad, orange-yellow colored grains. The 
stalks grow to a height of four to five feet. This is one of the 
best, high quality, yellow kerneled varieties for Florida.

GOLD BOND. (Improved Golden Bantam.) (65 days.) This 
variety of yellow sweet corn is similar to Golden Bantam, 
only slightly later, making it better adapted to Florida grow¬ 
ing conditions. The ears are six to seven inches long, witli 
eight to ten rows of large yellow kernels. Although the ears 
are not large, this is more than made up by its deliciously 
sweet flavor and tenderness. The stalks grow to a height of 
three to four feet.

SOUTHERN SWEET. (New) (80 days.) This new variety in 
numerous tests outyiekled other large-eared varieties of 
Sweet Corn. It has strong, vigorous stalks with deep roots, 
and is very drought resistant. It is also heat resistant, and 
due*to its very long, tough husks it resists worms. It usually 
produces two large ears per plant. It stays in the tender 
roasting ear stage longer than other varieties, and excels 
other varieties in tenderness and flavor. This new variety 
should be planted by every Florida home and market gar¬ 
dener.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. (New) (65 days.) Golden Cross 
Bantam has done exceptionally well as an exceedingly high 
quality, yellow kerneled early variety in Florida. The stalk 
is very sturdy, with exceptionally broad, vigorous leaves. Ears 
are 10 to 14 rowed. Kernels are slightly lighter yellow in 
color than Golden Bantam. It is superior to any of the ordi¬ 
nary Bantam varieties. Extremely uniform in plant and ear 
characteristics, and in maturity. We recommend this variety 
be used where quality is of first consideration, that is, in home 
gardens and where the ears are sold by the dozen in local 
markets. 
Va lb. 20c; 1 lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c; postpaid. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (70 days.) This is one of the 
richest flavored of all sweet corns. The ears are eight to ten 
inches long, thickly covered with long, narrow, white kernels, 
without row formation, and borne on a small cob. It is some¬ 
times called “Shoe Peg” corn because of its long, deep grains. 
The stalks grow to a height of six and one-half to seven and 
one-half feet. 
Va lb. 10c; 1 lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 45c; postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 11 lbs. (pk.) $1.40; 44 lbs. (bu.) $5.00. 
U. S. NO. 34. (New) (85 days.) This new variety was de¬ 
veloped by the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station 
as a sweet corn which would do well in tropical countries 
where ordinary varieties of sweet corn cannot be grown suc¬ 
cessfully. Our tests indicate that this variety produces an 
exceedingly vigorous, sturdy plant, averaging two large ears 
per plant. The ears are covered with large,broad, pearly white 
kernels. The husk is exceedingly tough and fits very tightly 
around the ear, and extends well beyond the tip of the ear, 
thus resisting corn ear worm attack. Although sweet in flavor, 
the kernels are somewhat tough, thus holding up well on the 
market and in long distance shipments, especially when 
haided to market by trucks. We highly recommend this new 
variety for Florida and the West Indies. Seed supply limited.
