SWEET CORN-Continued 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. One of the best extra early 
yellow varieties for home and market garden. Ears 
have strong husks; 8 to 12 rowed. Kernels golden 
yellow, medium, tender, sweet, and of good flavor. 
Very prolific for so early a variety. Days from plant¬ 
ing to eating stage, 75. Ear 6 to 7 inches. Pkt., 15c; 
lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 10 ibs., or over, 20c per lb. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Introduced jointly by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and Purdue University 
Agricultural Experiment Station. Excellent for 
market gardeners. Highly resistant to Stewart's 
disease and very prolific. Stalks sturdy, with excep¬ 
tionally broad, dark green leaves. Ears 10 to 14 rowed, 
slightly lighter yellow than Golden Bantam. Pkt., 15c; 
lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
IMPROVED BANCROSS P39. Outstanding new variety, 
very heavy producer, large eared and about five days 
earlier than Golden Cross Bantam, having all of the 
qualities of the Bantam and in addition, earliness and 
larger size. We are inclined to think that this variety 
will soon be a rival of Golden Cross Bantam. Pkt., 
15c; lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
MARCROSS P39. We consider the earliest large-eared 
hybrid. This variety has proven very prolific, very 
vigorous in growth and for such an early variety pro¬ 
duces quite large ears. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 
10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
MARKET HYBRID. Market Hybrid, according to trials 
this year, was about a 70- to 72-day corn, stalks about 
the height of Golden Early Market, 4 to 4V2 feet; ears 
6 to 7 inches long, 1 2- to 1 4-rowed, covered with thick 
husks; excellent quality. We consider this to be one 
of the very best extra-early hybrids. We believe that 
if given a trial on good rich early land this will be a 
valuable market garden variety. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 
2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
GOLDEN GIANT. Awarded the Silver Medal for novelty 
and excellence at Mass. Horticultural show. Ears twice 
the size of Bantam and being 14- to 16-rowed gives 
nearly four times the yield per acre; richer in color, 
more delicious, equally early. The husks are striped 
with red and very heavy. Golden Giant can be highly 
recommended to the market gardener because of the 
large ears and good shipping qualities of the Corn. 
Golden Giant is the result of eleven years' selection 
by Dr. F. S. De Lue of Boston, Mass., from a product of 
"Howling Mob crossed with Golden Bantam." Pkt., 
15c; lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
WHIPPLE'S EARLY YELLOW. Twice the size of Golden 
Bantam and matures about the same time, grows ears 
7 to 8 inches long and 1 2- to 1 6-rowed, with often two 
ears to one stalk. Quality is unequalled. Pkt., 15c; lb., 
30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
BANTAM EVERGREEN (Yellow). A yellow variety ma¬ 
turing about 10 days after the Golden Bantam and a 
week earlier than the Stowell's Evergreen white. It has 
an ear three times the size of Golden Bantam and runs 
12, 14 and 16 rows to the ear. The stalk is about 6 
feet tall and is perhaps 1 foot shorter than Stowell's 
Evergreen and 2 feet taller than Golden Bantam. The 
Bantam Evergreen has the tender and sweet qualities 
of the Golden Bantam and combines the quality of the 
Golden Bantam with the productiveness of Stowell's 
Evergreen. As a table variety it is unexcelled. Pkt., 
15c; lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
White Varieties 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. Medium size, with irregular 
rows of very deep and slender kernels and small cob. 
Sweet and tender, not surpassed in quality by any 
other variety with white kernels. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 
2 Ibs., 55c; 10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
EARLY CROSBY (New England Strain). The most pop¬ 
ular second early strain in New England, largely grown 
elsewhere. Ears are intermediate in size between those 
of the first early sorts and the Kendel's Early Giant, 
especially attractive and distinct, having rather small, 
almost square kernels packed so closely on the cob 
that there is no space between the rows, as with other 
varieties; has always twelve or more rows and tip is 
completely covered. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 55c; 
10 Ibs. or over, 22c per lb. 
STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. The best known and most 
largely planted of all varieties. The Stowell's Evergreen 
is hard to beat and for a long time to come many will 
have it in preference to any other sort. Yields large 
ears and long, deep kernels, with rich sugary flavor 
and long keeping qualities. It is the standard late sort. 
Pkt., 15c; lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 45c; 10 Ibs. or over, 20c 
per lb. 
Black Mexican 
A popular variety; until the introduction of the Golden 
Bantam, the sweetest of all. Ears of medium size; kernels 
large, when ripe bluish black, but at proper stage for 
cooking, the color shows but little if at all. Pkt., 15e; lb., 
25c; 2 Ibs., 45c; 10 Ibs. or over, 18c per lb. 
Delicious Pop Corn for Planting 
WHITE RICE. This productive rather late kind supplies 
delicious popped corn. The plant is vigorous and grows 
24-rowed ears, 5 Vi inches long. Pkt., 15e; lb., 25c; 
10 Ibs. or over, 20c per lb. 
DWARF WHITE HULLESS. Dwarf variety used extensive¬ 
ly by Popcorn venders. Kernels similar in colar and 
shape to the older types of White Rice. Dwarf grow¬ 
ing habit. Ear about 2 to 3 inches long. Matures in 
about 65 days. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 10 Ibs. or over, 
25c per lb.
