on account of the very admirable habit of producing two, three and 
even four good ears to the stalk, it is really very productive. It has 
a short stalk with few leaves, so you can: plant six or eight kernels

*142. GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most popular variety in the 
United States. Everyone likes Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people will 
not take any other when it is obtainable. The flavor is deliciously dis- 
tinct, superior to that of any other corn. The small 8-rowed ears, usually 
less than six inches in length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher 
In sugar content than any other corn. It is only 10 to 12 days later 
than Early July, making a good suecession when both varieties are 
planted at the same time. 
_ The kernels are tender, very wide and of good depth, while the cob 
is small and the flavor delicious. Pkt. (2 ozs.), LOcs Yorlb., 2oeralbs

137. GOLDEN COLONEL. (93 days.) For many years, gar- 
deners have been looking for a sweet flavored yellow Country Gentleman 
corn. We are pleased to offer Golden Colonel, the product of ten years 
of breeding, as a perfect yellow Country Gentleman. The stalk, ear, a2 
pattern and shape of kernel, as well as the required time to eating state Golden Colonel. 
are identical to the Country Gentleman. The ears, 7% inches to 9 inches 
long and 3 to 3% inches in diameter, are a beautiful golden color with a flovor superior to 
Country Gentleman, retaining the good quality of the Golden Bantam, one of its parents. It 
is equal in productiveness to the Country Gentleman. The dainty golden shoe-peg kernels of 
good depth are ideal for canning as a whole kernel corn. Market gardeners should find a 
face oeeee io this sp it i the only good yellow corn ready for market during the 
atter part o le season when white sweet corn ears predominate on the market. kt, (2
