GOLDEN BANTAM 
CORN 
¥% Ib. to 100 ft., 10 to 14 Ibs. per acre. 
Plant in rich, warm soil, in hills 2 to 3 feet apart, in rows 
3 feet apart for early kinds and 4 feet apart for late sorts. 
The sweetest flavored corn cannot be purchased. It must 
be home-raised. This will always be so. 
The choicest Sugar Corn is only had where it is possible to 
cook it within an hour after picking. 
If you wish to have Sweet Corn at its best, pick or pull the 
ears when the kernel may be easily punctured with the 
thumb nail. Arrange to make successive plantings throughout 
the season so as to insure a supply just in the right condition. 
Make first sowing about the middle of May and continue 
fortnightly up to about the middle of July. Pkt. 10c; 1 Ib. 35c.

Golden Bantam. This golden colored Corn is the leading va- 
riety for early home garden planting, ears though small are 
numerous and of finest quality. Very sweet and tender.

exceedingly popular with market gardeners; 10 to 12 beautiful 
tender rows to each ear. Splendid for early gardens.

green type. The stalk grows 8 to 9 feet high. It withstands
