Open-Pollinated or Standard 
Varieties of Sweet Corn 
The following varieties are the regular kinds of sweet corn and are called 
“open-pollinated’”’ because they do not require special control of pollination as 
the hybrids do. They are all excellent varieties producing fine crops of good ears. 
They are often preferred for the home garden because the ears do not ripen all 
at one time and hence you can have corn over a longer period. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET (Gill’s). Also called Golden Hummer, Extra 
Early Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. (67 days.) The ears are large for 
early corn, being fully 7 inches long with twelve rows of broad, butter yellow 
kernels. The quality is good but not equal to Extra Early Bantam. It matures 
with us about the same time. 
There are many stocks of this corn being sold under a great variety of names. 
We obtained our stock seed direct from the originators and each year carefully 
grow and select it in order to maintain and improve the purity and earliness. 
This has become a standard extra early yellow variety because of the large ears.

RAR RISMEA IRABEAR EYE DAN) AMuenrolific Very, Early aver, 
low Sweet Corn. (68 days.) 
This fine corn which we introduced in 1926 is still considered one of the finest early 
sweet corns ever grown. It is 8 rowed and identical to Golden Bantam for size, shape 
and high quality but is actually ten days to two weeks earlier, being among the earliest 
varieties of sweet corn. It is also one of the most prolific varieties. More often than 
not, each stalk will have two well developed ears. 
It is the only very early corn of the true Bantam type, and we consider this one of 
the finest varieties for the home garden. This fine quality corn maturing as it does so 
early in the season is a real treat.

CANADA GOLD. Long Ears. Early. (70 days.) The ears are larger than Extra Early 
Bantam and a few days later. They grow up to 8 inches long with 8-12 rows of tender

Early and very prolific, often bearing two good ears on each stalk.

ey in sweet corn. The ears are 6 to 7 inches long with 8 rows of deep yellow kernels 
When Different Varieties Mature which are deliciously sweet and tender. Matures medium early. This is the most 
uniform 8 rowed stock of Golden Bantam ever grown.

catalogue the approximate number of days in which the corn is 
ready to eat after planting. As the time required varies greatly 
according to the weather, time of planting, and fertility of the 
soil the figures should be regarded as relative rather than 
actual, although they are taken from our trials which were 
planted about the middle of May. 
BUTTERCUP. Sweeter, Larger Ears than Golden 
Bantam. (80 days.) This old favorite is 
one of the sweetest kinds of corn which we know and is 
altogether a fine variety. The kernels are large, of a rich 
“June butter’ yellow and are deliciously succulent and 
tender. 
Buttercup is a medium early variety, maturing the same 
time as Golden Bantam which it resembles but the ears are 
much larger than that variety, being fully eight to ten inches 
long with 8 to 10 straight rows of broad kernels on a fine 
slender cob. 
This corn has long been a favorite with home gardeners 
who appreciate high quality in sweet corn. If you want the 
sweetest and finest flavored sweet corn for your table, grow 
Buttercup.
