grains of rich and luscious flavor which is retained much longer than most

337 Country Gentleman © — Known as Shoe Peg

thin and narrow. A productive midseason variety, with ears 7 to 8 in. long, with a small white 
cob thickly filled with irregularly arranged, pure white, slender, lusciously sweet kernels. 
Stalks grow 7 ft. tall and often produce two perfect ears each. General favorite for the home 
garden and largely grown for that purpose, but many market gardeners also grow it for local 
trade. Valuable for canning. Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 5 Ibs. $1.75.

juicy kernels of exceptional quality. It holds its remarkable sweetness for quite a long time. 
Popular with all growers; used extensively for canning. Stalks 7 to 8 ft. tall. Has been grown 
for more than 80 years and its popularity is not decreasing in spite of a trend toward yellow 
varieties; it is still a leader. Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 65¢; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
310 Howling Mob — Leading midseason white corn 
85 days. Fine early midseason sweet corn. It is vigorous and productive; stalks grow 5 to 
6 ft. high, with ears 7 to 9 in. long, closely set with 12 to 18 rows of beautiful pearly white 
grains. The kernels are arranged neatly in straight rows which give them a particularly at- 
tractive appearance and make it easy to eat from the cob. The kernels are deep and contain 
a large quantity of delicious sweet pulp beneath the thin tender skin. A great favorite for the 
home garden and is a leading market growers’ variety; to see it is to want it.

tenderness before any color appears in the kernels. It is, however, edible not only when the 
kernels are still white but for several days after the purple pigment appears. Stalks grow about 
6 ft. tall and are very vigorous. Pkt. 10¢; 12 lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 5 Ibs. $1.75.
