condition for a long period. Plants 7 to 7% feet tall. Ears 8 
inches long, 21/4 to 2% inches thick; 14 to 20 rows to the cob.

GOLDEN BANTAM CORN 
Corn in truly a native of this coun- 
try, developed before the new world 
was discovered. It can be raised 
with some success in every state in the union, 
however, for best results it requires a growing 
season of seventy to eighty days and with plenty 
of summer heat. 
Any good garden soil will grow corn but it 
will mature quicker and be more tender if a 
good commercial fertilizer is used at the rate of 
about 1] pounds to a 100 foot row. 
Generally speaking, it is better to plant the 
early varieties in drills and the later varieties, of 
course, in hills, so spaced that cultivation may 
be done both ways without disturbing the plants. 
If your garden is of the weedy sort it is better to 
plant all varieties in hills because it is thus pos- 
sible to control weeds easier when plants are in 
long rows. 
For early types make the drills 2 to 21% feet 
apart and 1/% inches deep. For growing in rows 
put a seed every 3 inches in a drill with the 
expectation of thinning to 6-inch intervals as 
soon as possible. The thinned plants cannot be 
transplanted with any success. 
YELLOW VARIETY 
Golden Bantam. This variety of corn is second 
to none for tender, sweet and juicy ears. Al- 
though not as early as some types, its excep- 
tionally fine quality makes it well worth waiting 
for. Stalks about 5 feet tall. Eight straight rows 
of kernels to the cob. 
North, Northwestern Dent, Champion White 
Pearl, White Flint, Wisconsin White Dent 
and King Philips. We will gladly quote prices

litic of the yellow sweet corns. The ears

yielding about 40% more marketable ears 
than Golden Bantam. Grows 5 to 6 feet
