Golden Bantam The most famous Sweet Corn in the world 
today. It is the richest and sweetest of all varieties of 
Sweet Corn. Golden Bantam is dwarf, the stalks are 
usually 5 to 6 feet high, and the foliage is short, allowing 
it to stand closer together in the small garden and thus 
produce a large crop on a small area. We recommend 
planting Golden Bantam every ten days during the plant- 
ing season and you will be assured of a continuous supply 
of the best sweet corn. Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c; 2 Ibs., 65c;

Early Market, 4 to 4% feet; ears 6 to 7 inches long, 
12- to 14-rowed, covered with thick husks; excellent
