CULTURE—All varieties of sweet corn may be either sown 
in rows 3 feet apart, and the seeds planted about 8 inches in 
the row, or planted in hills at a distance of 2 or 3 feet each 
way, according to the variety grown or the richness of the 
soil in which it is planted. Sweet corn should not be planted 
deeper than 1% inches, as it is liable to rot in the ground.

New Golden Bantam. This is an early sweet corn with golden 
yellow grain, very tender and of excellent quality. The ears 
are eight-rowed, 6 to 7 inches long and of medium size found 
most suitable for the table. The flavor is exceptionally rich 
and delicious. The stalks are 4 to 5 feet high. Our stock of 
this splendid home garden and market variety has been very 
carefully selected and is decidedly superior to much that is 
offered. 
Peep o’ Day. It is not only one of the earliest sweet corns, but 
is very sweet and immensely productive, stalks producing 
from two to five large ears and being dwarf, about 4 feet in 
height, admits of close planting. 
White Cob Cory. For a strictly early, for the first market and 
home use, you can’t be far wrong with White Cob Cory. We 
offer northern grown extra early matured seed.

Country Gentleman. The ears are not only Of good size, but 
are produced in great abundance, frequently bearing four 
good ears, while the average is three to a stalk. The cob is 
very small, giving great depth to the kernels which are of 
pearly white quality. It is without doubt the sweetest and 
most tender of all sweet corns, and at the same time with 
ears of good size. 
Portland Market. One of the early white varieties. Large, 
sweet; grains pure white, ears well filled—a good market 
variety. 
Early Minnesota. This is among the earliest of the sugar 
varieties, and is much esteemed not only because it matures 
early, but for the excellent qualities as well. Ears rather 
small, long and pointed. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. This variety is more largely planted than 
any other, being the general favorite with canners and market 
gardeners for late use. It is very productive, the ears are 
large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and 
remains for a long time in an edible condition. 
Early Evergreen. This corn has all the good qualities of its 
parent, Stowell’s Evergreen, but matures earlier. Stalks grow 
from 6 to 8 feet high. 
Black Mexican. This corn, when in condition for the table, 
cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or bluish 
black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness. For family use 
it is considered the most desirable of the medium late sorts.
