The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns 
and make excellent roasting ears before the sugar corns are ready. 
CUETURE—Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excellent g’arden corn may be raised on any g’ood soil that h^ 
deenlv and thoreuffhly worked before planting-. Plant the early varieties the last of March or early in April; SUGAR CORNS ARE 
TENDER and should not be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable to rot. a’ld thorough 
but shaUow cultivation, and continue plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in AugTist for a succession of roast¬ 
ing ears throughout the season. Plant during July or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; lo to 12 
pounds plants an acre. 
150. Bland’s Extra Early (65 Days) 
If you want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood, 
you must plant Bland’s. 
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, about 
a week earlier than Extra Early Adams. It makes an attractive ear 
of good size and fine quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, 
milky and tender. If you take a pride in having the earliest garden 
in your neighborhood, you will have to plant Bland’s. We recom¬ 
mend it not only to the private gardener, but to those who grow 
for market, for in earliness it is ahead of any garden corn in culti¬ 
vation. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 2ac; lb. 30o; 2 lbs. 45o;

ear, between Bland’s Extra Early and Trucker’s Favorite. It is

The ears measure 8 to 9 inches long, with 12 or more rows of 
round white grains to the ear. Grows about 6 feet high, allow¬ 
ing close planting; early and hardy. This is a good corn to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early and before the bigger-eared Truck¬ 
er’s Favorite.

151. Trucker’s Favorite (8o Days) 
Make a planting of Trucker’s Favorite to make bigger ears to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early. 
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South 
as Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches 
long, with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many 
prefer to sugar corn. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and 
can be planted weeks earlier, and is ready for the table or market 
in about 80 days. Although not a sugar corn it makes the finest 
roasting ears. We believe we are safe in saying that nearly 90 per 
cent of the table corns shipped North by truck growers is Truck¬ 
er’s Favorite; on the Richmond market it outsells all garden corns 
and brings top prices. By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c; Yi lb. ISc; lb.
