Golden Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
SWEET CORN 
Extra Early Varieties 
Early Minnesota. A standard early sort of 
excellent quality, especially desirable where 
seasons are short. The ears bear 8 to 10 rows 
of large white grains. This variety is popular 
on account of its great productiveness. Excel¬ 
lent for market, home and canning use. 
Extra Early White Cory. One of the earliest 
varieties, well and favorably known in all 
parts of the country. It succeeds well where 
the seasons are short, and can be recommended 
for general planting. Ears six inches long 
with eight rows of broad grains. 
Golden Bantam Extra Early. A variety 
Northrup, King & Co. have propagated espe¬ 
cially for early home gardens. A recombina¬ 
tion of 15 inbred strains. A week earlier than 
ordinary Golden Bantam, and of superior 
flavor. 
Golden Bantam—Kingscrost. This is another 
triumph of Northrup, King & Co.’s propaga¬ 
tion fields. A cross between four inbred 
strains. Same delicious quality as “Extra 
E'arly” but better adapted to market gar¬ 
dener’s use as the ears are ready to pick at 
one time. Very early and uniform in ear size. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Is a single cross be¬ 
tween two inbred strains. It was developed 
by the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Sta¬ 
tion in Indiana. Maturity is about a week 
later than Golden Bantam. Ears carry 10 to 16 
rows. Color is light yellow. Plants are about 
a foot taller than Bantam with many suckers. 
It is quite resistant to Stewart’s Disease or 
bacterial wilt. 
StowelVs 
Evergreen 
Sweet Corn 
Second Early Varieties 
Early Evergreen. This fine variety is 
ten to twelve days earlier than Stowell’s 
Evergreen and yields large, handsome, 
ten or twelve-rowed ears. 
Late Varieties 
Bantam Evergreen. Also commonly called 
Golden Evergreen, a cross between Gold¬ 
en Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen, 
combining the buttery flavor of the for¬ 
mer with the large ear of the latter. 
Stalks 6 to 7 ft. Bars 7 to 8 in. long, with 
12 to 14 rows of sweet, golden kernels. 
Country Gentleman. This variety is 
often called the “shoe peg” corn, owing 
to the arrangement of the crowded ker¬ 
nels which are long and very sweet. It 
is far ahead in flavor of any of the late 
varieties. It remains tender and fit for use 
longer than most sorts, as the ear is en¬ 
closed in a thick husk which keeps it “in 
the milk.” The ears average nine inches 
in length and are borne from two to five 
and sometimes six on each stalk. The 
cob is small and very closely packed from 
tip to butt with slender, pure white ker¬ 
nels of the finest quality. If you try this 
variety you will like it. 
Improved Black Mexican. This variety 
has for a number of years had the repu¬ 
tation of being the sweetest of all sweet 
corn. When cooked, the ear is white with 
a bluish tinge towards the base of the 
kernel. Black Mexican must still rank as 
a late variety, but as it now matures 
nicely in Minnesota, it may be safely 
grown in almost any part of the United 
States.
