AIiIiEN’S CHOICE!. Or an improved Malakoff which was 
brought to this country by the U. S. Government from Rus¬ 
sia, and was the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been grown 
by a local market gardener and carefully selected by him 
until he has a distinct variety of the Malakoff of his own. 
After careful inspection we have made arrangements to 
supply our trade with this corn, calling ,it “Allen’s Choice.” 
Not only the sweetest but the largest early Corn, better and 
earlier, by far, than Peep O’ Day. White in color. 
BARDEH’S WONDER BANTAM. A beautiful yellow 
Corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both in size and in 
quality. Stalks grow from 5 to 6 feet high, ears 8 to 10 in. 
in length. As early as the Golden Bantam. It is a variety 
that is worthy of a trial by any market gardener, canner 
or gardener. We consider it the best improved Golden Bantam 
yet put on the market. You will be getting both size and 
quality in this Corn. Took Mr. Barden five years to perfect. 
COUNTR’Y GENTIiEMAN. A well-known and deserving 
old sort that has always been very popular, due to its large, 
compact ears of irregular rows. 
DE DUE’S GODDEN GIANT SUGAR CORN. The fa¬ 
mous winner of many horticultural prizes. This is no fake 
variety ; it is exactly what the gardener has been looking 
for. Of even better quality than Golden Bantam ; will yield 
twice as much per acre ; larger eared and larger stalk, mak¬ 
ing it the most productive of the best yellow Sweet Corns in 
existence. We have purchased a limited quantity of this 
seed from the originator. This we offer in limited quantities. 
GODDEN BANTAM. This is a Sweet Corn of most exqui¬ 
site quality, which, when ready to use, is of a bright golden 
yellow color. It looks rich and is rich, and no mistake. It 
can be planted very early, as it is as hardy as the Extra 
Early Adams. The small stalks can grow closely together 
in the row and will produce two or three ears each. 
GODDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt-resistant—high yield- 
uniform. We recommend this new hybrid for places where 
Stewart’s disease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordin¬ 
ary varieties. This corn, the product of crossing two pure 
lines, is not only resistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s dis¬ 
ease) but pi'oduces larger crops of beautiful ears. The ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels, uniform in 
length (about 8 inches) of e.xcellent quality. Matures a 
week later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening at 
about the same time. This crossed seed will produce the 
true Golden Cross Bantam described above in 1940. Seed 
from the 1940 crop cannot be saved for 1941, as it will 
break down. The cross has to be made each year. ^ lb., 
10c; i/a lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.00. 
GODDEN SUNSHINE. (50 days.) Blue skies and sun¬ 
shine have combined their divinely guided chemistry to pro¬ 
duce the nectar-like sweetness of this delicious golden corn. 
The ears are compact, about same size as Golden Bantam, 
but more refined in appearance, having from ten to twelve 
rows of grain instead of eight as Golden Bantam. It is a 
very rapid grower; earliest of the golden group. 
STOWEDD’S EVERGREEN, Known everywhere. An old 
but one still king of the best, considering everything. 
HYBRID—SPANCROSS C2. One of the earliest Hybrids 
and will produce a wonderful crop. The highest prices aYe 
always paid for the first roasting ears and Spancross’C2 is 
by far the best hybrid you can plant for this market. The 
old open pollinated kinds maturing so early are generally 
so susceptible to Stewart’s disease or bacterial wilt that 
they seldom produce heavy yields, sometimes being de¬ 
stroyed altogether. Spancross C2 is very wilt-resistant. 
In yield tests in 1935 at Columbus, Spancross C2 yielded 
7400 marketable ears against 1400 for the highest yielding 
open pollinated variety. Price per pound, postpaid, lb., 
10c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50.

are aiming to bring each variety to a perfect standard as our other “Guaranteed Seeds”

and let your future seed order be governed by the results.

2 ft. long, crisp and thick, blanches early and easily, fine keeper and shipper. % oz.,

GODDEN SEDP-BDANCHING. A great self-blanching variety, easily marketed and

Celery popular for flavoring and eating. oz., 10c; Yz oz., 20c; 1 oz., 30c.
