CORN-SWEET 
(For Field Corn, 
See Pages 38 and 39) 
Plant 1 peck per acre. 
In the garden plant one pound to 200 feet of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
This is a crop that never fails to bring profitable returns 
to Florida truckers when put on the market early. 
Cu.tureE. Plant in well fertilized rows 21% to 3 feet apart, 
dropping 2 or 3 seeds every 15 to 18 inches in the row, leaving 
one or two plants in a place. When about knee high, apply 200 
pounds per acre of a quick-acting fertilizer high in available 
nitrogen and the same amount again when the corn begins to 
silk and tassel. This fertilizer application will greatly increase 
the yield, and will bring your crop to earlier maturity. For 
bud worms, use Pyrocide Dust. (See page 50.) Drop a little 
in the bud. Ship in special corn crates, six to eight dozen to 
the package. Early plantings are made in Florida from Jan- 
uary 1 until March. 
The number of days indicated for each variety represents 
the time from seed planting to first harvest under average 
spring conditions in Florida. 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (80 days.) This is a late sweet 
corn especially well adapted to Florida. It produces the larg- 
est ears of any variety of true sweet corn, the ears ranging 
from 11 to 12 inches in length, with eighteen to twenty rows 
of large glistening white kernels. The husks fit very tightly 
over the tip, making it difficult for the ear worm to enter. The 
stalks grow to a height of eight to ten feet. Numerous tests 
have shown this to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties of 
true sweet corn for Florida.

white kernels. Stalks are seven and one-half to eight feet tall.

home garden and market. It is well adapted to Florida grow- 
ing conditions.

CORN - ROASTING EAR 
GOLD BOND. (Improved Golden Bantam.) (65 days.) 
This variety of yellow sweet corn is similar to Golden Bantam, 
only slightly later, making it better adapted to Florida grow- 
ing conditions. The ears are six to seven inches long, with eight 
to ten rows of large, broad, deep orange-yellow colored kernels. 
Although the ears are not large, this is more than made up by 
its deliciously sweet flavor and tenderness. The stalks grow 
to a height of three to four feet. This is a good, high quality, 
yellow-kerneled variety for Florida.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. (65 days.) Golden Cross Ban- 
tam is a true hybrid sweet corn that has done exceptionally 
well as an exceedingly high quality, yellow kerneled, early 
variety in Florida. The stalk is very sturdy and vigorous, with 
exceptionally broad, heavy leaves. Ears are 10 to 14 rows. 
Kernels are slightly lighter yellow in color than Golden Ban- 
tam. It is more uniform, higher yielding, more worm resistant 
and far superior to any of the ordinary Bantam varieties. Usu- 
ally produces two ears to the plant, and is a much higher yield- 
er than any other yellow kerneled sweet corn. Especially recom- 
mended for home use, fancy local markets and for shipping to 
select markets. This being a hybrid corn, it is never advisable 
to save seed for planting.

richest flavored of all white-kerneled sweet corns. The ears 
are eight to ten inches long, thickly covered with long, narrow, 
white kernels, without row formation, and borne on a small cob. 
It is sometimes called “Shoe Peg” corn because of its long, 
deep grains. The stalks grow to a height of about seven feet.

CuLturE. Same as for sweet corn except given a little wider 
spacing—in rows 3 to 34% feet apart, and 18 to 24 inches in 
the row. Grows mere yigorously and is a little later in matur- 
ing than most varieties of sweet corn.

GENUINE OKLAHOMA SILVERMINE. (82 days.) Okla- 
homa Silvermine is a very heavy yielder of exceedingly large, 
heavy ears, requiring only half as many ears to fill a crate as 
Iowa Silvermine, and many other roasting ear varieties. The 
cobs are covered with 14 to 18 rows, and run from 11 inches to 
13 inches in length. An exceedingly heavy yielder, very re- 
sistant to worm damage, and an excellent variety for shipping, 
with a heavy dark green husk that does not easily turn color 
enroute to or on the market. This variety is a standard roast- 
ing ear variety grown in central Florida for shipment to north- 
ern markets.

WHITE TUXPAN. (85 days.) This variety of roasting ear 
corn is highly recommended for the Everglades muck and South 
Florida. It grows to a height of 12 to 14 feet. Ears are long, 
ranging from 12 to 14 inches, large and heavy, with 14 to 16 
rows of kernels. Husks are very long and tight, virtually mak- 
ing it impossible for the ear worm to enter. The large ears 
produced by this variety make it most desirable for shipping 
and for the market.

YELLOW TUXPAN. (87 days.) This is a large eared, high 
yielding variety, with 1 to 2 ears per stalk, and is very resistant 
to adverse weather conditions. As a roasting ear variety it is 
considerably sweeter and better flavored than white kerneled 
varieties. The plant growth, shape and size of ears, husk for- 
mation, etc., is similar to White Tuxpan. We highly recommend 
this variety especially for the Everglades muck and South 
Florida.

variety. The ears are medium large, averaging about 10 inches 
long, with 12 to 14 rows of large, white kernels, with good 
length grain, very tender, and of splendid eating quality. A 
very good producer and because of its extreme earliness es- 
pecially valuable for planting after winter truck crops.
