SAVE MONEY AND GROW YOUR OWN 
Hybrid Seed Corn 
We furnish you both your male and female com to 
be planted in a plot 400 feet or more from any other 
corn and for every one row of male corn you plant 
four rows of female corn like this: 
ONE MALE ROW—x xxxxxxxxx x—Do not detassel this row. 
/—X xxxxxxxxx X—\ You detassel these four 
FOUR FEMALE )—x xxxxxxxxx x—(rows only and these 
ROWS j —X xxxxxxxxx x— j four rows produce your 
(—X xxxxxxxxx X—/ hybrid seed. 
MALE AGAIN, Etc.—x xxxxxxxxx x— 
You detassel or remove the tassels in these four female rows. Watch these 
four rows and as soon as the tassels start to appear on the corn, pull them out. 
It is better to pull them than to cut them off. You keep doing this every day, or 
at least every other day until pollination time is over, which is from 21 to 25 days. 
The reason you do this is to let the male row furnish pollen for the female rows 
as this is the only method to produce hybrid seed. 
The male row is not used for seed, but for feed only. The com from the four 
female rows is used for seed and you take care of it the same as you do any other 
seed corn. Pick out the best and let it dry good before cold weather. If there is 
any part you do not understand, when you send us your order, ask us anything 
you want to know and we will be glad to answer it, as we want you satisfied and 
keep you as a customer.

BARDIN'S WONDER BANTAM 
SWEET CORN 
This matchless Sweet Corn Is a cross between Golden Bantam 
and Early Wonder, the result of which is a Bantam Sweet Corn 
with all the qualities and sweet¬ 
ness of the old reliable Golden 
Bantam, but with larger ears set 
up higher on the stalk. Ears 8 
to 10 inches long, filled with 8 
rows of broad, rich, golden yellow 
kernels. Stalk 5 to 6 feet high. 
Critical market and home garden¬ 
ers and canners have long been 
looking for a Bantam Sweet Corn 
with these improved qualities. 
One of the big canning companies 
reports that Barden’s Wonder 
Bantam produces one-third more 
tonnage per acre than any other 
Bantam Corn they have ever 
grown, and will consider using no other in the future. Tests 
each year have proved it to be as early as Golden Bantam and 
much more vigorous and productive.

corns. To many of those who know it, no other variety can 
take its place. The ears are 8 to 9 inches in length, and are 
ready for the table in 85 to 90 days. The ripe seed is bluish 
black, but when in table condition the kernels are pearly white.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
This variety is often called the shoe-peg corn, owing to the 
arrangement of the crowded kernels. It is nearly as sweet as 
Golden Bantam. It remains tender longer than most sorts. 
Ears average 9 inches in length; the cob is small and very closely 
packed with slender, pure white kernels. It arrives at full per¬ 
fection just in time to succeed the earlier varieties.
