105 days 
One of the best known and widely planted 
varieties. The ears average 8 to 9 in. in 
length, frequently three on a stalk. The white 
kernels are set irregularly on the cob so 
there are no rows. Cob is very small and the 
kernels have great depth. A standard late 
variety for home gardens, market gardens 
and commercial canners. 
Golden Colonel 92 days 
Introduced by the Associated Seed Grow- 
ers. It is an improved Yellow Country Gen- 
tleman, being superior to Golden Cream in 
ear length and color. Ear and stalk growth 
are similar to Country Gentleman. The grain 
is narrow and is zig-zag or staggered on 
the ear. 
Golden Country Gentleman or 
Golden Cream 92 days 
This is similar to Country Gentleman, 
with a light yellow or cream color to the 
grain. Ears are slightly shorter but grain 
is carried in the same manner.

Stowell’s Evergreen, combining the buttery

grown. The ears are 8 in. long with 8 rows 
of kernels. At eating stage the kernels are 
bluish white, but when ripe they are a 
bluish black.

A selection from Stowell’s Evergreen for 
a deep, narrow kernel. One of the best can- 
ning varieties. Ears are large, 7 to 8 in., 
carrying 18 to 24 rows of kernels which are 
deep, narrow and of excellent quality. Plant 
averages 8 to 9 ft., very vigorous and a good 
yielder. 
Oregon Evergreen 101 days 
Especially adapted to the West Coast. 
The strong, tightly fitting husk gives pro- 
tection against the corn ear worm. Ears are

tween Stowells and Narrow Grain Ever-
