SWEET CORN IS THE TRULY AMERICAN 
We have always been specialists in SWEET CORN and we believe we can say 
without fear of contradiction from anyone that New England grown seed produces 
Corn with a flavor superior to that grown in any other section of the country. 
Most vegetables can be obtained nearly all the year round so native vegetables, in 
spite of their superior flavor are not nearly so much of a treat. CORN, however, 
is different. No canned or frozen CORN can begin to compare with the indescrib- 
able flavor of SWEET CORN straight from the garden to the pot and the shorter 
the time between them the better it is, for nothing loses its taste and sugar content 
as quickly as Corn. 
We introduced a new variety of CORN a few years ago which we called EARLY 
PEARL because of its glistening white kernels. Its success was immediate and 
everyone who has tried it has been captivated by its tenderness, sweetness and 
delicious milky flavor. Our customers order it from every state in the union and 
many foreign countries, and we sell quite a poundage at Christmas time as gifts 
from people, who want to do their friends a favor. We claim that Early Pearl, 
is the sweetest CORN in the world and if you don’t agree with us we'll mighty 
cheerfully refund you your money. 
Other popular WHITE CORNS are COLUMBIA, which is about the earliest 
Corn grown. LONG ISLAND BEAUTY which is later but produces an ear as long 
as your forearm and STOWELLS EVERGREEN, another large late Corn of great 
sweetness. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN has no regular row formation but is very 
tasty and hence is popular for canning. BLACK MEXICAN has purplish black 
kernels which are not very attractive looking but the flavor is exceptionally good. 
If you only plant but one variety of Corn in your garden outside of EARLY 
PEARL we would say GOLDEN BANTAM because its big, tender kernels are so 
sweet and milky but it is a good idea to have something earlier and later. YELLOW 
SENSATION and GOLDEN EARLY MARKET are the best early varieties for 
market growers because their large size and deep kernels sell readily but for home 
use GOLDEN SUNSHINE is only a few days later and has much better table 
qualities. Two other exceptionally early varieties are SPANISH GOLD and 
GOLDEN GEM but they are not very large and do not have a very fine flavor. 
WHIPPLES YELLOW is slightly later than Bantam but makes a tremendous ear 
of good flavor and the TEN ROWED or GIANT BANTAM is slightly later but 
considerably larger than the 8 ROWED or GOLDEN BANTAM. The latest 
yellow Corn is BANTAM EVERGREEN which has a huge ear very similar to 
Stowells in the white Corns. 
SWEET CORN may be planted after all danger of frost is passed in drills 2, feet apart 
spacing the seed 4 to 6 inches apart and later thinning to 12 inches or in bills about 3 feet each way 
allowing about 4 plants to remain in each hill. For continuous supplies make weekly sowings of 
the same variety or sow varieties which mature in succession. Corn is a vigorous feeder and should 
be well fertilized.
