CORN, Sweet or Sugar 
One quart will plant about 200 hills 
Plant Corn every three weeks from April to July, for succession, 
placing 6 seeds in a hill, the hills 3 feet apart each way, and covering 
4% inch. When well up, thin to three plants to a hill. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM. An 8-rowed, early, yellow 
Corn with ears 8 to 10 inches long, set up higher on a more sturdy 
stock than the Golden Bantam parent, but of equal sweetness, flavor, 
and color, and it matures at the same time with a greater yield. 
BLACK MEXICAN. Medium early. The ears measure about 
8 inches in length and are well filled with large, flat, bluish purple 
grains of sweet flavor. When fit for table use, the grains are white. 
Seed black, short, round, same size as Early Minnesota. 
CROSBY’S EARLY. Extra early. The medium-sized ears are 
filled with very sweet, thick grains. A productive, vigorous, and 
hardy sort. Seed short, round. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Shoe Peg). Late. The ears are of 
good size (7 to 9 inches long), and the cob is small, densely covered 
to the very tip with irregular rows of very long, tender, white kernels 
of delicious flavor when cooked. Stalks average 7 feet in height and 
frequently yield three ears each. Seed long, slender. 
EARLY ADAMS. Not a Sweet Corn, but grown for table use be- 
cause of its earliness. The ears are medium in size, and at the proper 
stage for cooking the grains are tender, milky, and quite sweet. 
robust grower and heavy yielder. Seed white, short, round, resem- 
bling Field Corn. 
EARLY MINNESOTA. A standard early sort of strong growth. 
The medium-large ears are well filled with good-sized, well-flavored 
kernels. Seed white, short, medium size. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. Early. The ears are small (about 5 inches) 
and the grains cream-yellow in color, but the delicious flavor and the 
tender quality when cooked is not surpassed by any other variety of 
Sweet Corn. The plants are dwarf, attaining a height of 3 to 4 feet 
and bearing two or more ears to the stalk. Seed golden yellow, short, 
round, germinating quickly, and the plant comes into bearing early. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE. A Bantam type. A few days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. Stalks more dwarf; ears 12-rowed, 61% inches. 
EARLY EVERGREEN. Resembles Stowell’s Evergreen in flavor, 
appearance, and quality, but ripens 10 cays earlier and remains in 
good condition as long as that variety. Ears 7 inches long. 
HOWLING MOB. Medium early. One of the best-flavored and 
most tender of the medium-early varieties. The ears measure 7 to 
9 inches in Iength, with 12 to 14 rows of large, pearly white grains. 
The stalks usually produce at Jeast two ears. This variety well 
merits its great popularity. Seed yellowish, short, round. 
KENDEL’S EARLY GIANT. Second early. The largest-eared 
Sweet Corn in its class, averaging 8 to 10 inches in length and having 
10 to 12 rows of large grains of rich sugary flavor. The kernels are

MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. Early. A great improvement on 
the old White Cory. A very productive sort with large ears and 
white cobs. The grains are large and sweet. Seed yellowish, round. 
BANTAM or GOLDEN EVERGREEN. One of the recent addi- 
tions to the Sugar Corn family, one-third larger than Golden Bantam; 
10 to 14 days later; matures after that variety has passed the usable 
stage. Stalk 714 to 8 feet high. Ears thick, 7 to 8 inches long. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. Midseason. More largely planted 
than any other Sweet Corn, for home use, market, and canning. The
