CORN-SWEET 
For Field Corn, See Page 38 
This is a crop that never fails to bring 
profitable returns to Florida truckers when 
put on the market early. 
Culture. Plant in well fertilized rows three 
feet apart, in hills every one and one-half 
feet in the row, leaving one or two plants in 
a place. When about knee high, apply 150 
pounds per acre of Sodium Nitrate and same 
amount again when the corn begins to silk 
and tassel. This fertilizer application will 
greatly increase the yield, and will bring your 
crop to earlier maturity. For bud worms, use 
one pound powdered Arsenate of Lead and 
four pounds Hydrated Lime or Pvrocide 
Dust. (See page 55.) Drop a little in the bud. 
Ship in special corn crates, six to eight dozen 
to the package. Early plantings are made in 
Florida from January 1 until March. 
Plant 1 peck per acre. 
Southern Sweet 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (80 days.) This is a late sweet 
corn especially well adapted to Florida. It produces the larg¬ 
est ears of any variety of true sweet corn, the ears ranging 
from 11 to 12 inches in length, with eighteen to twenty rows 
of large glistening white kernels. The husks fit very tightly 
over the tip, making it difficult for the ear worm to enter. 
The stalks grow to a height of eight to ten feet. Numerous 
tests have shown tins to be one of the heaviest yielding vari¬ 
eties of true sweet corn for Florida.

GOLDEN GIANT. (70 days.) This is a hybrid of Golden 
Bantam and an early maturing, large-eared, yellow kerneled 
variety. It possesses the fine qualities of both parents, and it 
is considerably larger eared than Golden Bantam. Ears are 
seven and one-half to eight inches long, with twelve to four¬ 
teen rows of large, broad, orange-yellow colored grains. The 
stalks grow to a height of four to five feet. This is one of the 
best, high quality, yellow kerneled varieties for Florida.

GOLD BOND. (Improved Golden Bantam.) (65 days.) This 
variety of yellow sweet corn is similar to Golden Bantam, 
only slightly later, making it better adapted to Florida grow¬ 
ing conditions. The ears are six to seven inches long, with 
eight to ten rows of large yellow kernels. Although the ears 
are not large, this is more than made up by its deliciously 
sweet flavor and tenderness. The stalks grow to a height of 
three to four feet.

tests outyielded other large-eared varieties of Sweet Corn. 
It has strong, vigorous stalks with deep roots, and is very 
drought resistant. It is also heat resistant, and due to its very 
long, tough husks it resists worms. It usually produces two 
large ears per plant. It stays in the tender roasting ear stage 
longer than other varieties, And excels other varieties in ten¬ 
derness and flavor.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. (New) (65 days.) Golden Cross 
Bantam, a true hybrid corn, has done exceptionally well as 
an exceedingly high quality, yellow kerneled, early variety in 
Florida. The stalk is very sturdy, with exceptionally broad, 
vigorous leaves. Ears are 10 to 14 rowed. Kernels are slightly 
lighter yellow in color than Golden Bantam. It is more uni¬ 
form, higher yielding and far superior to any of the ordinary 
Bantam varieties. Usually produces two ears per plant.

est flavored of all sweet corns. The ears are eight to ten 
richest flavored of all sweet corns. The ears are eight to ten 
inches long, thickly covered with long, narrow, white kernels, 
without row formation, and borne on a small cob. It is some¬ 
times called “Shoe Peg” corn because of its long, deep grains. 
The stalks grow to a height of about seven feet.
