W E BELIEVE that every farmer should grow Sweet Corn so that 
he may have it available for his table or to sell in the local market. 
By planting at weekly intervals you can have Sweet Corn till frost 
comes. Also, you can have the best of fodder for stock. Cattle will clean up 
Sweet Corn fodder whereas they will often leave the woody stalks of the 
regular Field Corns. We list below two of the best varieties of Sweet 
Corn to meet various conditions. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
Stowell’s Evergreen Corn 
A yellow hybrid maturing for table use in 85 days. This variety has rapidly replaced 
open-pollinated sorts for canning, market gardening, or for home use, and is by far the 
leading variety in cultivation today. Stalks about 6 feet tall, with very uniform ears 
about 8 inches long. Planted at weekly intervals during May and June, or even earlier 
if conditions permit, you will have Sweet Corn throughout the entire season for your 
own use or for the market. Six to seven pounds will plant one acre. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 
The standard white variety maturing in about 95 days. It is an open- 
pollinated Sweet Corn, very productive and hardy. The ears are 8 to 9 inches 
long and the stalks will average 8 to 10 feet in height. While the quality of the 
ear for table use is not as good as the yellow Golden Cross Bantam, the larger 
ear and stalks make it the best variety to grow when maximum production is 
desired. It will produce the most amount of fodder and a little Sweet Corn 
fodder is always desirable. Ten to fourteen pounds will plant one acre.
