OLDS' WISCONSIN GROWN SWEET CORN 
Our Sweet Corn is all first-class high testing, Wisconsin-grown 
seed. Our packets each contain two ounces, larger than the usual 
packet and enough for 30 to 40 hills. About 10 lbs. will plant 
an acre. We recommend using Semesan Jr., with Sweet Corn as 
well as Field Corn. For large amounts see Market Gardeners’ 
list. 
144. GOLDEN GEM. (60 to 70 days.) We introduced this 
new extra early yellow sweet corn several years ago. It is without 
doubt the finest extra early yellow corn so far introduced. It is 
just as early as any of the white varieties and will sell much 
more readily than the white. The ears of Golden Gem are rather 
small, averaging from 6 to '7 inches in length, 8 rows to the ear. 
Golden Gem is 10 days ahead of Golden Bantam and the quality 
fully equal to that ifamous old variety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; Vs lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.40, 
postpaid. 
136. MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. (78 days.) Larger 
than the original White Cory and still one of the very earliest 
varieties of sweet corn. It was named Mammoth White Cory be¬ 
cause the ears are so large for an extra early variety. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Vs lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65; 
5 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
137. GOLDEN COLONEL. (93 days.) For many years, 
gardeners have been looking for a sweet fiavored yellow Country 
Gentleman corn. We are pleased to offer Golden Colonel, the 
product of ten years of breeding, as a perfect yellow Country 
Gentleman. The stalk, ear, pattern and shape of kernel, as well 
as the required time to eating state are identical to the Country 
Gentleman. The ears, 7% inches to 9 inches long and 3 to 3 % 
inches in diameter, are a beautiful golden color with a flavor 
superior to Country Gentleman, retaining the good quality of 
the Golden Bantam, one of its parents. It is equal in produc¬ 
tiveness to the Country Gentleman. The dainty golden shoe-peg 
kernels of good depth are ideal for canning as a whole kernel 
corn. Market gardeners should find a heavy demand for this corn 
as it is the only good yellow corn ready for market during the 
latter part of the season when white sweet corn ears predominate 
on the market. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; V2 lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 
2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs,, $1.30, postpaid. 
Golden Gem. 
141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID. (84 
days.) A cross of two inbred Bantams. It is midseason 
about four days later than regular Bantam. Stalks average 
about 6 feet in height and very sturdy. Two ears are usually 
produced on each stalk averaging 8 inches in length. It will 
yield about 50% more than regular Bantam and is resistant 
to Stewart’s Disease. Hybrid corns are remarkable for their 
uniformity of stalk, ears, and time of ripening. For the home 
gardens it should be planted at intervals, otherwise it will all 
ripen at one time. For canning, this variety cannot be beaten. 
Quality is excellent. Seed stocks must be produced each year 
from hybrids and we caution our customers not to save seed 
as it will not give satisfactory results. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 
15c; 1/2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
143. MIXED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid 
Sweet Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet corn. It 
is resistant to Stewart’s Disease and for yield and quality 
cannot be excelled. It has one drawback in the home garden 
in that it matures all at one time. To overcome this we have 
taken and mixed equal proportions of three hybrids, one of 
60 days, one of 75 days and one of 90 days. By planting this 
mixture you will have the finest quality sweet corn throughout 
the sweet corn season. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 lb., 25c; 
lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
146. EXTRA EARLY GOLDEN BANTAM. (70 
days.) An extra early Golden Bantam. Stalks are short with 
rather small 8-row ears. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; V2 lb., 25c; 
lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
135 
Golden Bantam. 
142. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most popular 
variety in the United States. Everyone likes Golden Bantam. 
Indeed, many people will not take any other when it is obtain¬ 
able. The flavor is deliciously distinct, superior to that of any 
other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually less than six 
inches in length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher 
in sugar content than any other corn. It is only 10 to 12 
days later than Early July, making a good succession when 
both varieties are planted at the same time. 
The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, while 
the cob is small, and the flavor delicious. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 
5c; V2 lb., 15c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c, postpaid. 
1391/2. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (93 days.) Often 
called “Shoepeg” corn because of the long, narrow pointed 
kernels, with their crowded and irregular arrangement on the 
cob. It is a distinct late variety, with two to five big ears on 
a_ large stalk. A favorite main crop sweet corn, packed from 
tip to butt with long pearly-white kernels set closely on a 
remarkably small cob. 
Sweeter and finer fiavored 
than any other white corn 
and one of the best of the 
late varieties for table use. 
Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 lb., 25c; 
lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 
lbs., $1.30, postpaid. 
Golden Colonel. 
OLDS’ EARLY JULY. (60 to 70 days.) An extremely 
early white corn. To say that it is earlier than Golden Bantam is per¬ 
haps recommendation enough. It will produce corn ready for table use 
in 60 days. 
The ears are creamy white, about seven inches long and on account 
of the very admirable habit of producing two, three and even four good 
ears to the stalk, it is really very productive. It has a short stalk with 
few leaves, so you can plant six or eight kernels to the hill. Large pkt. 
(2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., 
$1.20, postpaid. 
148. GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (76 days.) This new valuable 
variety was developed and introduced by Dr. Yeager of the North Dakota 
Agricultural Experiment Station. It has a rich golden color; the ears 
are about one inch longer than the ears of Golden Bantam and usually 
have 12 . rows instead of 8, while the quality practically equals that of 
the famous Bantam. The most important feature of Golden Sunshine 
Corn is its extreme earliness. It is actually 5 to 7 days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. Our stock of this new corn is especially fine. Large pkt. 
(2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Va lb., 25c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs.. 
$1.30, postpaid.
