ALLEN’S CHOICE. Or an improved Malakoff which was brought 
to this country by the U. S. Government from Russia, and was 
the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been grown by a local 
market gardener and carefully selected by him until he has a 
distinct variety of the Malakoff of his own. After careful in- 
spection we have made arrangements to supply our trade with 
this corn, calling it ‘‘Allen’s Choice.’’ Not only the sweetest but 
the largest early Corn, better and earlier, by far, than Peep O’ 
Day. White in color. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM. A beautiful yellow corn, supe- 
rior to the Golden Bantam, both in size and in quality. Stalks 
grow from 5 to 6 feet high, ears 8 to 10 in. in length. As early 
as the Golden Bantam. It is a variety that is worthy of a trial 
by any market gardener, canner or gardener. We consider it the 
best improved Golden Bantam yet put on the market. You will 
be getting both size and quality in this Corn. Took Mr. Barden 
five years to perfect. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN. A well-known and deserving old sort 
that has always been very popular, due to its large, compact 
ears of irregular rows. 
DE LUE’S GOLDEN GIANT SUGAR CORN. The famous winner 
of many horticultural prizes. This is no fake variety; it is 
exactly what the gardener has been looking for. Of even better 
quality than Golden Bantam; will yield twice as much per acre; 
larger eared and larger stalk, making it the most productive of 
the best yellow Sweet Corns in existence. We have purchased 
a limited quantity of this seed from the originator. This we 
offer in limited quantities. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. This is a Sweet Corn of most exquisite 
quality, which, when ready to use, is of a bright golden yellow 
color. It looks rich and is rich, and no mistake. It can be 
planted very early, as it is as hardy as the Extra Early Adams. 
The small stalks can grow closely together in the row and will 
produce two or three ears each, 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt-resistant—high yield—uni- 
form. We recommend this new hybrid for places where 
Stewart’s disease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordi- 
nary varieties. This corn, the product of crossing two pure 
lines, is not only resistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s dis- 
ease) but produces larger crops of beautiful ears. The ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels, uniform in 
length (about 8 inches) of excellent quality. Matures a week 
later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening at about 
the same time. This crossed seed will produce the true 
Golden Cross Bantam described above. Seed from the 1943 
crop cannot be saved for 1944, as it will break down. The 
cross has to be made each year. %4 1b., 15c¢; 1% 1b., 25c; 1 Ihb.,, 
40c; 5 lbs., $1.75. Express, 10 lbs., $3.00. 
MARCROSS C6.13 (y). Developed by the Connecticut Experi- 
ment Station as a first early market and home-garden 
variety. Introduced in 1937 and already in wide demand. 
Stalks short but sturdy, highly resistant to Stewart’s dis- 
ease. Ears long, plump, abruptly tapered at tips; 10-14 
rowed, with light cream-yellow, medium-broad kernels of 
good quality. Heights of stalk, 5 ft.; length of ears, 7 in.; 
72 days. % Ib., 15c; % Ilb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75. Ex- 
press, 10 lbs., $3.00. 
TENDERGOLD (Top Cross Sunshine) (y). A good variety 
maturing ahead of Golden Cross Bantam. Stalk sturdy with 
good foliage; highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. Ear 
nearly cylindrical, 12-16 rowed, kernels medium in width 
and deep, golden yellow, tender and of good quality. Post- 
paid, % lb., 15c; 1% 1b., 25c; 1 1b., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75. Express, 
10 lbs., $3.00. 

GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (50 days.) Blue skies and sunshine have 
combined their divinely guided chemistry to produce the 
nectar-like sweetness of this delicious golden corn. The ears 
are compact, about same size as Golden Bantam, but more re- 
fined in appearance, having from ten to twelve rows of grain 
instead of eight as Golden Bantam. It is a very rapid grower; 
earliest of the golden group. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. Known everywhere. An old one but 
still king of the best, considering everything.
