“Perfection Brand Sweet Corn 
‘Corn, like anything else well worth having, takes a little care to produce. A few rows of 
corn will supply the average home with plenty of fine roasting ears and enough over for canning 
and drying to last through the winter. Be sure and plant Sweet Corn every ten days or two 
weeks and you will have a continuous supply of table corn in the right stage to enjoy the eating 
of it. A rich, warm soil is the best, but excellent Sweet Corn can be raised on any good, ordi- 
nary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. One pound of seed will plant 
about 100 hills. 
Our Sweet Corn is grown in Ohio by the most reliable grower and breeder of high grade 
Sweet Corn in the United States. 
EARLIGOLD (Hybrid Sweet Corn)—To be- 
come popular, a hybrid sweet corn must be 
early, have good sized ears of good quality, 
and be able to thrive in a variety of climates, 
which often proves the downfall of new hy- 
brids. In Earligold we have just such a hybrid 
that seems to do well in almost any section of 
the country. Yield is also important, and Earli- 
gold yields better and has better ears than 
other hybrids we have seen in its same maturity 
group. The ears are 6% to 7 inches long, 
slightly tapering and very uniform, well filled 
with 12 to 16 rows of kernels. Plants are 
sturdy, 5 to 5% feet tall, with few suckers. 
Somewhat resistant to wilt. Matures in 67 to 
72 days. Pkg., 10c; lb., 45c, postpaid. Write 
for quantity prices. 
IOANA HYBRID—Ears 814 to 9 inches; 12 
to 14 rows. Light yellow kernel. Stalk 6 to 6% 
feet. A new large, late yellow hybrid. Matures 
3 to 4 days later than Golden Cross and out- 
yields this well known variety. Its vigor and 
lack of suckering has made it more resistant 
to drouth and adverse weather conditions. Pkt., 
10c; lb., 45e, postpaid. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN—The ears are 
large; have fifteen or more rows of deep, lus- 
cious kernels, and remain tender and fit for 
use longer than any other sort. Pkt., 10c; Ib., 
30c, postpaid. 
GOLDEN BANTAM —tThe stalks are of me- 
dium size, with heavy foliage, for forage. The 
ears are borne two to a stalk about 6 inches in 
length and are eight-rowed. The kernels are of 
golden yellow color, which at first gives the 
impression of field corn. However, as soon as 
tasted there is immediately a call for mere- 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c, postpaid. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM—An eight- 
row corn that is a decided improvement over 
the Golden Bantam. Has all the toothsome 
qualities of looks and taste, but the ears are 
larger (eight to ten inches long), and set up 
higher on a more sturdy stalk, from 5 to 6 
feet high. It is as early as the Golden Bantam, 
more vigorous and productive. Pkt., 10c; Ib., 
30c, postpaid. 
TRUCKERS’ FAVORITE—For a second early 
corn to follow Adams Early, or for late plant- 
ing to mature early, this is a good sort. In 
addition to being a fine corn, it makes an ex- 
aries field corn to plant late. Lb., 25c, post- 
paid. 
GOLDEN EVERGREEN—A cross between 
the well known Golden Bantam and Stowell’s 
Evergreen. A corn that has the color and de- 
liciously sweet flavor of the Bantam and the 
evergreen habit and tenderness of the Stow- 
ell’s. The ears are larger than the Bantam, 
with Evergreen type of ear, with 14 to 18 
rows of deep, sugary, rich yellow grains. Pkt., 
10c; lb., 30c, postpaid. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN—tThe most delici- 
ous of the late sorts. The medium-sized ears 
are covered with irregularly arranged, deep, 
sweet kernels. Very prolific, and well liked in 
some localities, where it is sold on the market 
acts “Shoe Peg.” Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c, post- 
paid. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID—Ears 
8 to 9 inches long, 10 to 14 rows of light 
golden kernels. 84 days. Has the quality of 
Golden Bantam but is larger in both plants 
and ears. It is resistant to bacterial blight and 
highly productive. Pkt., 10c; lb., 45c, postpaid.
