Golden Evergreen 
Black Mexican 
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. One of the big canning 
companies reports that Barden’s Wonder Bantam pro¬ 
duces 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. 
Tendergold 
The result of a cross between Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green and Golden Bantam, possessing all the 
splendid qualities of both of these popular varieties and better than either. 
The ears are as large as Stowell’s Evergreen and is of true Evergreen habit, 
remaining equally as long a time in good cooking condition. It is of the same 
color as Golden Bantam, and has all the delicious qualities of that variety, 
with an added sweetness and superior flavor. In season half way between 
Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. For the home garden and fancy 
market trade this corn has no equal. 
Early Saskatchewan 
THE EARLIEST WHITE SWEET CORN 
The earliest white Sweet Corn, maturing 8 to 10 days ahead of Golden Ban¬ 
tam. Quality superior to that of most varieties of extra early Corn; ex¬ 
tremely hardy; can be planted early, withstanding cold, w’et weather to a 
wonderful degree. Ears 6 to 7 inches long; 8 rowed; kernels pure white, sweet 
and tender. Very productive for an extra early sort, usually producing two 
ears to the stalk. We highly recommend this variety for home use, and as a 
market sort it is a money maker. 
One of the richest flavored, sweetest, and tenderest. 
Ears 7 to 8 inches in iength; ready for the table 
in 85 to 90 days. Tlie ripe seed is bluish-black, but when in table condition the 
kernels are pearly white. A most desirable second early variety for the home 
garden. 
C+AWaII'c Michigan grown Stowell’s Evergreen is 
***''”^** a fcwci cell recognized everywhere as the best type of 
its class. Our strain is large eared, hardy, productive, sweet and tender, and 
remains a long time in cooking condition. 
Cttunfri# sweetest of all white varieties. Due to 
wwMii ■ ■ 7 well I leiiiMii the irregular arrangement of the kernels on 
the cob, it is an excellent sort to grow where worms bother the ears, for in¬ 
stead of working a row into the center of the ear, the worms have no row to 
follow and work around the end of the cob. Very prolific, rarely producing 
less than three ears to the stalk. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length and 
grain is very deep. Has delicious flavor all its own. A few days later than 
Stowell’s Evergreen. 
Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn 
The following three Disease-Resisting Hybrids are immune from bacterial 
diseases and resistant to wilt. Tests all over the country show that these 
Hybrids are more robust, healthier, and will give a much higher yield than 
ordinary varieties of corn. 
Burgess' Drought-Tolerant Hybrid fty.'^^^orn%”ower"s 
who have tested this new hybrid pronounce it a leader from the standpoint 
of yield, as well as for drought-resisting and eating qualities. Ears uniformly 
12 to 14 rowed, small cobbed, 7 to 8 inches in length. 
Golden Cross Bantam ?fnderkvorabre"co^: 
ditlons two to three ears are usually produced on each stalk. 
The ears are about 8 Inches long, nearly cylindrical, and have 
10 to 14 rows of kernels. At the eating stage the kernels are 
a light golden yellow and harden somewhat less rapidly than 
Golden Bantam. The uniformity of the ears is remarkable, and 
all ears are well filled to the tips. Under drought conditions 
this hybrid variety produced well filled ears where commercial 
strains of Golden Bantam were totally unproductive. 
'^6 days to maturity. It is a cross of 
I Purdue Bantam and Golden Sunshine, 10- 
14 rowed and yields more than either Purdue or Sunshine, 
about the same as Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to 
Stewart’s Disease, and it is good for about 10 days during the 
picking stage. Ears are 8 to 10 inches long.

AUSTRALIAN HULLESS. Also known in 
some sections as Japanese Rice, Tom Thumb, or 
Bumble Bee. A heavy yielder of little short 
ears, nearly as thick as long. Its crowning 
merit is its popping quality, fine flavor and ab¬ 
sence of hull or shell. 
GOLDEN AUSTRALIAN HULLESS. Same as 
Australian Hulless except that kernels are of a 
beautiful golden yellow color instead of white. 
Due to its superior flavor and richness of color 
it is one of the most popular varieties of Pop 
Corn. 
BLACK BEAUTY. Ripens earlier than any 
other variety, yet the ears are large in size and 
the yield is as heavy as that of any of the later 
sorts. Pops large and is the finest flavored va¬ 
riety of Pop Corn. Although the kernels are 
black, they show up nice and white when popped. 
Dynamite, or T.N.T. 
The kernels are deep orange in color, extra 
large and smooth. When popped, they are 
larger than any other variety and are of a rich 
creamy yellow color. The flavor is truly de¬ 
licious. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet tall and 
produce two and often three large ears which 
are 9 inches or more in length.
