The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are 
hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns 
and make excellent roasting ears before the 
sugar corns are ready. 
CUDTTTRE—Plant the early varieties the last of March or early in April, 
SWEET CORNS ARE TENDER and should not be planted till the ground 
is thoroughly warm. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, 
and continue plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early 
in Augnst for a succession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant 
during July or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will 
plant 100 hills; 10 to 12 pounds plants an acre.

No. 150. Bland’s Extra Early (65 Days) 
If yon want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood, 
you must plant Bland’s. 
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, about a week 
earlier than Extra Early Adams. It makes an attractive ear of good size 
and fine quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. 
If you take a pride in having the earliest garden in your neighborhood, 
you will have to plant Bland’s. We recommend it not only to the private 
gardener, but to those who grow for market, for in earliness it is ahead 
of any garden corn in cultivation. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; ^ lb. 20o;

No. 151. Trucker’s Favorite (so Days) 
Make a planting of Trucker’s Favorite to make bigger ears to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early. 
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as 
Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches long, 
with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many prefer to 
sugar corn. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and can be planted 
weeks earlier,, and is ready for the table or market in about 70 days. 
Although not a sugar corn it makes the finest roasting ears. We believe 
we are safe in saying that nearly 90 per cent of the table corns shipped 
North by truck growers is 'Trucker’s Favorite; on the Richmond market 
it outsells all garden corns and brings top prices. Unfortunately, since 
we introduced Trucker’s Favorite the name seems to have appealed to 
many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been applied to many other 
corns. If you order Trucker’s Favorite from half a dozen seed houses 
you would probably get a different corn from each. To have the real 
Trucker’s Favorite corn order from us, who originated it. By mail post¬

measure 8 to 9 inches long, with 12 or more rows of round white 
grains to the ear. Grows about 6 feet high, allowing close plant¬

grains are fairly deep, and when at roasting ear stage 
are tender and milky. It is hardier than any of the

be planted much earlier. If not used for roasting ears 
it makes a good yielding corn for feeding. By mail
