any of the white varieties and will sell much more readily than the white.

in length, 8 rows to the ear. Golden Gem is 10 days ahead of Golden

%*142. GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most popular variety in the 
United States. Everyone likes Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people will 
not take any other when it is obtainable. The flavor is deliciously dis- 
tinct, superior to that of any other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually 
less than six inches in length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher 
in sugar content than any other corn. It is only 10 to 12 days later 
than Early July, making a good succession when both varieties are 
planted at the same time. 
The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, while the cob 
is small and the flavor delicious. Pkt. (2 ozs.), 5¢;' 42 Ib., 20c¢; Ib., 30c;

137. GOLDEN COLONEL. (93 days.) For many years, gar- 
deners have been looking for a sweet flavored yellow Country Gentleman 
corn. We are pleased to offer Golden Colonel, the product of ten years 
of breeding, as a perfect yellow Country Gentleman. The stalk, ear, 
pattern and shape of kernel, as well as the required time to eating state 
are identical to the Country Gentleman. The ears, 7% inches to 9 inches 
long and 3 to 8% inches in diameter, are a beautiful golden color with 
a flavor superior to Country Gentleman, retaining the good quality of 
the Golden Bantam, one of its parents. It is equal in productiveness to 
the Country Gentleman. The dainty golden shoe-peg kernels of good 
depth .are_ideal for cannnig as a whole kernel corn. Market gardeners 
should find a heavy demand for this corn as it is the only good yellow 
corn ready for market during the latter part of the season when white 
sweet corn ears predominate on the market. Pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c; 2 pkts.,
