AUNT MARY'S SWEET CORN 
Originated in Ohio, it is supposed to have been given to some person named “Aunt Mary” by the Indians, and handed down 
through the family for many years and was again put on the market two or three years ago by a Mr. Bonnewitz. It is taking 
the country by storm and not enough praise can be given it. 
Never was sweet corn that tasted as sweet. It will stay in good condition for table use for two or three weeks. It stays in 
milk so long that natural ripening is impossible; ears that were ready for table use in September were still in milk when hard 
frosts killed the plants. We had a light killing frost October 25. The first week in November we were still having delicious Sweet 
Corn. 
You can make early sowing, mid-season sowing and late planting, throughout the entire season and can have your sweet 
corn into October; the late plantings contain even a higher percentage of sugar than the early plantings. 
BY ALL MEANS GIVE THIS SWEET CORN A TRIAL THIS YEAR AND YOU WILL COME BACK FOR MORE NEXT 
YEAR. Make your first planting during May—two weeks apart; make another one the second week in June, another the last 
week in June, and the last planting the first week in July and this will furnish you sweet green ears in early October.

TIGRIDIA PAVONIA—GRANDIFLORA 
Tiger Flower or Shell Flower from Mexico 
No flowering bulbs give more richly colored or beautiful flowers. 
Highly recommended for greenhouse decoration. Pot up as soon as 
received and plunge in cold frame, withholding water until the 
foliage appears, then giving it sparingly at first. Bulbs for outdoor 
planting in colder climates should be stored during the winter in soil 
or peat, not quite dry, away from frost until March, and then be 
planted in sunny positions in the flower-border or in beds in sunny 
positions in well-drained soil, the bulbs being surrounded with sand. 
Beds of Tigridias make a gorgeous picture during July, August 
and September and should find a place in all gardens. The flowers 
are formed by three broad petals extending from a central cup. The 
bulb is of about the same habit and hardiness as the Gladiolus. In 
mild climates they can, however, be left undisturbed for years and 
can stand a small amount of frost. 
The Ladies’ Home Journal recently had an illustrated article 
about these attractive flowers from which we quote: 
“This brilliant silken triangle unfolds from its long slender bud 
and bursts into sharply contrasting tints of fire, leaping from bright 
yellow to molten orange and vivid scarlets, and is eagerly sought 
as a rare but sturdy garden novelty.’’ 
TOP SIZE BULBS that will produce many flowers to each bulb. 
A fine mixture of yellow, orange, red, white, deep rose, and pink— 
$1.25 per dozen; 6 for 65c; 3 for 35c. 
SECOND SIZE—These will also bloom some—the same fine 
mixture—75c per dozen. 
We cannot offer any separate colors this season, as our bulbs 
got mixed in digging. But this mixture is an exceptionally fine 
one; all the rare colors are in it, that we usually sell for $1.50 per doz.
