Hardie’s Sweet or Garden Corn 
America's most distinctive natural delicacy. Easily grown and best when 
fresh gathered, only home gardeners can fully enjoy it, and no garden is com¬ 
plete without it. Here are the most delicious varieties adapted to this section. 
CULTURE—Plant in hills three feet apart; leave two or three plants to the hill; where 
ground is strong, dwarf vaireties like Adams’ 
feet apart. 
196—ADAMS’ EARLY. An early market va- 
iety, similar to Extra Early Adams, but much 
larger; is well adapted to the South, and we 
strongly recommend it. Pkt., 10c; lbs., 25c; 
2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Write for 
prices on larger quantities. 
175— TRUCKER’S FAVORITE. A white corn, 
with good depth of grain, very tender and 
sweet and a most desirable size for roasting 
ears. Matures with Adams’ Early and slightly 
larger in size. It is considered one of the best 
sorts of the semi-sweet kinds. Will stand early 
planting as it is hardy. Should you not use all 
of your crop for roasting ears, it is excellent 
for meal or feeding. Pkt., 10c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
45c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Write for prices 
on larger quantities.

very sweet sugar corn. Ears are small, five 
to seven inches in length, but are borne very 
productively, two or three good ears to the 
stalk. The color of grain is creamy-yellow, 
tender and of fine flavor, and is very much 
liked for private gardens. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c;

171—COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Sweet). This 
we consider the par excellence of Sweet Corn. 
A variety of great value especially recommend¬ 
ed for home gardens; no variety can equal it 
for sweetness or delicacy of flavor; very pro¬ 
ductive, producing three to five ears to the 
stalk; the grains are exceedingly deep and 
crowded irregularly on the cob. We would 
warn purchasers not to consider the seed of 
this variety poor when they get it, as the 
prime seed of "Country Gentleman” has a 
decided look of poverty about it. Pkt., 10c; 
lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
173—TEXAS HONEY JUNE. This is a new 
sweet corn developed by the Texas Experiment 
Station. It is a cross between Mexican June 
and Country Gentleman, which was completed 
after being extensively tested by the Experi¬ 
ment Station and by growers throughout the 
State. The roasting ears are ready in about 87 
days after planting. The ears are of medium 
size with a long heavy shuck, which protects 
the corn from worms and other insects. The 
stalk is healthy and vigorous, growing to an 
average height of six feet; this is much taller 
than other sweet corn. Every one should plant 
some of this delicious corn. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid.

it should be earthed uc to blanch it.

dwarf, compact growth, with thick, solid, 
heavily ribbed stalks which blanch easily to
