OLDS' WISCONSIN GROWN SWEET CORN 
High in Susar Content 
Our Sweet Corn is all first-class, high testing, Wisconsin-grown seed. 
Our packets each contain two ounces, larger than the usual packet and 
enough for 30 to 40 hills. About ten pounds will plant an acre. We 
recommend using Semesan Jr. with Sweet Corn as well as Field Corn. 
For larger amounts see Market Gardeners’ List opposite page 5. 
135. OLDS' EARLY JULY, (60 to 
70 days.) An extremely early white corn. 
To say that it is earlier than Golden Bantam 
is perhaps recommendation enough. It will 
produce corn ready for table use in 60 days. 
The ears are creamy white, about seven 
incties long and on account of the very ad¬ 
mirable habit of producing two, three and 
even four good ears to the stalk, it is really 
very productive. It has a short stalk with 
few leaves, so you can plant six or eight 
kernels to the hill. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; Vz lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 
55c; 5 lbs., 31.10, postpaid. 
1391 / 2 . COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, 
(93 days.) Often called “Shoepeg” corn 
because of the long, narrow pointed kernels, 
with their crowded and irregular arrange¬ 
ment on the cob. It is a distinct late variety, 
with two to five big ears on a large stalk. 
A favorite main crop sweet corn, packed from 
tip to butt with long pearly-white kernels set 
closely on a remarkably small cob. Sweeter 
and finer flavored than any other white corn 
and one of the best of the late varieties for 
table use. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 
15c; 1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 30c: 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs.,

Golden Gem. 
144. GOLDEN GEM. (60 to 70 days.) We introduced this 
new extra early yellow sweet corn several years ago. It is without 
doubt the finest extra early yellow corn so far introduced. It is 
just as early as any of the white varieties and will sell much 
more readily than the white. The ears of Golden Gem are rather 
small, averaging from 6 to 7 inches in length, 8 rows to the ear. 
Golden Gem is 10 days ahead of Golden Bantam and the quality 
fully equal to that famous old variety. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., 31.30, 
postpaid. 
141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID, (84 days.) 
A cross of two inbred Bantams. It is midseason about four days 
later than regular Bantam. Stalks average about 6 feet in height 
and very sturdy. Two ears are usually produced on each stalk 
averaging 8 inches in length. It will yield about 50 per cent 
more than regular Bantam and is resistant to Stewart’s Disease. 
Hybrid corns are remarkable for their uniformity of stalk, ears, 
and time of ripening. For the home gardens it should be planted 
at intervals, otherwise it will all ripen at one time. For canning, 
this variety cannot be beaten. Quality is excellent. Seed stocks 
must be produced each year from hybrids and we caution our 
customers not to save seed as it will not give satisfactory results. 
Large pkt. (2 oz.), 10c; 2 pkts., 16c; 1/2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 
lbs., 76c; 5 lbs., 31-50, postpaid. 
143. MIXED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid Sweet 
Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet corn. It is resistant 
to Stewart’s Disease and for yield and quality cannot be excelled. 
It has one drawback in the home garden in that it matures all 
at one time. To overcome this we have taken and mixed equal 
proportions of three hybrids, one of 60 days, one of 75 days 
and one of 90 days. By planting this mixture you will have the 
finest quality sweet corn throughout the sweet corn season. Large 
pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Vi 
5 lbs., 31-50, postpaid.

148. GOLDEN SUN- 
SHINE. (76 days.) This new 
valuable variety was developed and 
introduced by Dr. Yeager of the 
North Dakota Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. It has a rich golden 
color; the ears are about one inch 
longer than the ears of Golden 
Bantam and usually have 12 rows 
instead of 8, while the quality 
practically equals that of the fam¬ 
ous Bantam. The most important 
feature of Golden Sunshine Corn 
is its extreme earliness. It is ac¬ 
tually 5 to 7 days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. Our stock of this 
new corn is especially fine. Large

146. EXTRA EARLY GOLDEN BANTAM. (70 days.) An 
extra early Golden Bantam. Stalks are short with rather small 8-row 
ears. Large pkt. (2 oz.), 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Vz lb., 20c; lb., 36c; 2 
lbs., 66c; 5 lbs., 31-30, postpaid. 
142. GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most popular variety in the 
United States. Everyone likes Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people will 
not take any other when it is obtainable. The flavor is deliciously dis¬ 
tinct, superior to that of any other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually 
less than six inches in length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher 
in sugar content than any other corn. It is only 10 to 12 days later 
than Early July, making a good succession when both varieties are 
planted at the same time. 
The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, while the cob 
is small, and the flavor delicious. Large pkt. (2 ozs.), 6c; 1/2 lb., 15c; 
lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c, postpaid. 
137. GOLDEN COLONEL. ( 93 days.) For many years, gar¬ 
deners have been looking for a sweet flavored yellow Country Gentleman 
corn. We are pleased to offer Golden Colonel, the product of ten years 
of breeding, as a perfect yellow Country Gentleman. The stalk, ear, 
pattern and shape of kernel, as well as the required time to eating state 
are identical to the Country Gentleman. The ears, TV 2 inches to 9 inches 
long and 3 to 3% inches in diameter, are a beautiful golden color with 
a flavor superior to Country Gentleman, retaining the good quality of 
the Golden Bantam, one of its parents. It is equal in i^roductiveness to 
the Country Gentleman. The dainty golden shoe-peg kernels of good 
depth are ideal for cannnig as a whole kernel corn. Market gardeners 
should find a heavy demand for this corn as it is the only good yellow 
corn ready for market during the latter part of the season when white 
sweet corn ears predominate on the market. Large pkt. (2 oz.), 10c; 2 
pkts., 15c; Vz lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., 31.10, postpaid.
