Golden Cross Bantam Corn 
Because Sweet Corn is fer¬ 
tilized by the wind, plants 
must be grown in blocks rather 
than lines, so that the pollen 
will drift from one plant to 
another. In the home-garden it 
is best to plant blocks of 10 
square feet every two weeks 
until midsummer.

One packet will plant two 15-foot rows; one pint of each, an early and late 
sort, contains enough seeds for repeated sowings in the home-garden; one peck 
will plant one acre in hills. 
Culture. Do not sow Corn until the ground is thoroughly warm, and 
never sow Corn in one row—always have two rows or more, even if they are 
short. Drop the kernels 4 inches apart in the row and thin to 6 inches apart 
when the plants are established. Do not allow the basal suckers to grow. Hoe 
frequently and hill slightly to support the plants against the wind. 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Minnesota. A standard early sort growing A ]/2 to 5 feet tall 
with 8-rowed ears 9 to 10 inches long. Kernels white. 83 days. 
Early White Market. Grows 4 to 43^ feet tall and often bears two 
ears to the stalk. The ears are 10 to 12-rowed, 6 to 63^ inches 
long, and have a strong husk. Kernels clear white. 73 days. 
Spanish Gold. Stalk 5 to 6 feet tall, frequently bearing two and 
three ears 6 to 7 inches long, with bright golden yellow kernels, 
plump, sweet, tender, and of good quality. 68 days. 
Golden Bantam. The finest Sweet Corn for the home-garden. Plants 
are dwarf and produce an abundance of small, deliciously sweet ears 
with rich golden yellow grains. It is ready for use about 80 days 
from the time of sowing the seed. 
Golden Gem. The earliest yellow variety. Very dwarf, with rather 
small ear. The stalks frequently bear two ears which are 8-rowed, 
and the deep yellow kernels are tender, exceptionally sweet, and 
of good flavor. 
Early Golden Market. A good producer of 8 to 12-rowed ears. Rich 
golden yellow color and excellent flavor. 
Golden Sunshine. An excellent new variety, somewhat earlier than 
Golden Bantam, from which it was developed. The ears are larger, 
bearing 12 rows of kernels, but the flavor is sweet and luscious. 
White-Cob Cory. Ranks high as a dependable extra-early variety in 
cool northern sections where the seasons are short. The ears average 
6 inches long, bearing 8 rows of pearly white grains. 
Howling Mob. An excellent and popular variety bearing ears 7 to 
9 inches long with 12 to 14 rows of broad deep white kernels of 
exceptionally sweet and tender quality. The strong, heavy husks 
make it excellent for shipping. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow. Largest and earliest of the yellow varieties. 
Its large ears grow 7 to 8 inches long, bearing 12 to 16 rows of big 
golden yellow kernels. The tall stout stalks often bear two fully 
developed ears. 
MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
Golden Evergreen. A late midseason variety, sometimes called 
Bantam Evergreen. The ears average 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to 
14 rows of fine, large, yellow kernels. 
Golden Giant. Considered by many to be better than Golden Bantam. 
The seed is hardier and sprouts sooner in early spring than less 
hardy varieties. Its large ears, with 12 to 14 rows of thick golden 
yellow kernels, are enclosed in heavy husks.
