I Corn is truly a native of this country, developed 
\ before the new world was discovered. It can be 
- ' raised with some success in every state in the 
union, however, for best results it requires a growing season 
of seventy to eighty days and with plenty of summer heat. 
Any good garden soil will grow corn but it will mature 
quicker and be more tender if a good commercial fertilizer is 
used at the rate of about 11 pounds to a 100 foot row. 
Generally speaking, it is better to plant the early varieties 
in drills and the later varieties, of course, in hills, so spaced 
that cultivation may be done both ways without disturbing the 
plants. If your garden is of the weedy sort it is better to plant 
all varieties in hills because it is thus possible to control weeds 
easier when plants are in long rows. 
For the early types make the drills 2 to 2'!/^ feet apart and 
V/q inches deep. For growing in rows put a seed every 3 
inches in a drill with the expectation of thinning to 6-inch 
intervals as soon as possible. The thinned plants cannot be 
transplanted with any success.

YELLOW VARIETY 
Golden Bantam. This variety of corn is second to none for 
tender, sweet and juicy ears. Although not as early as some 
types, its exceptionally fine quality makes it well worth wait¬ 
ing for. Stalks about 5 feet tall. Eight straight rows of kernels 
to the cob. 
Improved Golden Bantam. An improved 
strain over the old type Golden Bantam, how¬ 
ever, we still recommend the old fashioned var¬ 
iety for Northwest conditions. This newer strain 
has ten rows of kernels to the cob. 
Golden West. A very fine early variety. Much 
the same flavor and tenderness as Golden Ban¬ 
tam and exceedingly popular with market gar¬ 
deners. Ten to twelve rows to the cob. 
Early Sunshine. One of the early varieties of 
sweet corn. Matures 3 or 4 days earlier than 
the majority of others. Taller and more vigorous 
with 12 rows to the ear.

green. 
WHITE VARIETY 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Remarkable for remain¬ 
ing in a fresh condition for a long period. Plants 
7 to 7 V 2 feet tall- Ears 8 inches long, 214 to 2]^ 
inches thick; 14 to 20 rows to the cob. The most 
popular white variety of sweet corn. 
Oregon Evergreen. Earlier than Stowell's and 
just as fine and sweet. An exceptionally fine 
canning variety because of its uniform medium 
to large ears with 12 to 18 rows.
