- Early White. 
_A grand early white corn. The 
ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather ~ 
narrow kernels and are of very fine 
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long 
and large around. They looklike well 
bred Evergreen yet they mature two 
to three weeks earlier. Market gar- 
deners find that the size, high yield 
(there are often two good ears on 
a stalk) and earliness make this a 
very profitable kind to grow for mar- 
kets where a white corn is wanted. 
Ready for use in 80 days. Pkt., 10 
cts.; 4 Ib., 20 cts.; Ib., 30 cts.; 2 
Ibs,. 50 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.00, postpaid. 
350 Golden Sunshine 
Ready in 68 days. A quite new, 
remarkably fine, extra early va- 
riety originated through. selective 
breeding by Professor A. F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment © 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and stays in table quality . 
for a greater length of time. The 
ear is about one inch longer and. 
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8. The. 
kernels are sweeter, more tender 
and a lghter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its earlier maturity, 
longer season and superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban- 
tam and is displacing the latter in 
many markets. Pkt.,.10 cts.;

rich golden yellow in color, tender, sweet and palatable. 
Somewhat dwarf in habit, the plants measure only about 
41% to 5 feet in height, usually yield two ears to the stalk.

midseason Sweet Corn ever introduced. It is

long, closely set With 12 or 14 rows of beau- 
tiful pearly white grains. The kernels wre

tender skin. Pkt., 10 cts.; Yo Ib., 20 cts.; Ib., 30 cts.;

Bie Shineaee New Golden Gem _

the North Dakota Experiment Station

The ear is about the same size as Sun- 
shine, but has only 8 to 10 rows. Qual- 
ity, tenderness and sweet flavor are 
unsurpassed. The plant is exceedingly 
short, but vigorous and productive and 
certain to be a great favorite. Pkt.,

early Sweet Corn maturing marketable 
crop in 70 days from time of planting.

4%, feet high. I consider this the 
leader by far of all early yellow varie- 
ties of Sweet Corn. A sure money 
maker for market gardeners where a

crop makes a tremendous difference in 
the value per dozen or 100 ears. PkKt.,
