ALLEN’S CHOICE. Or an improved Malakoff 
which was brought to this country by the U. 8. 
Government from Russia, and was the earliest 
Corn ever grown. Has been grown by a local 
market gardener and carefully selected by him 
until he has a distinet variety of the Malakoff 
of his own. After careful inspection we have 
made arrangements to supply our trade with 
this corn, calling it ‘“‘Allen’s Choice.’ Not only 
the sweetest but the largest early Corn, better 
oe earlier, by far, than Peep O’ Day. White in 
color. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM. A beautiful yel- 
low corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both 
in size and in quality. Stalks grow from 5 to 
6 feet high, ears 8 to 10 in. in length. As early 
as the Golden Bantam. It is a variety that is 
worthy of a trial by any market gardener, can- 
ner or gardener. We consider it the best im- 
proved Golden Bantam yet put on the market. 
You will be getting both size and quality in this 
Corn. Took Mr. Barden five years to perfect.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Vilt-resistant— 
high yield—uniform. We regommend this 
new hybrid for places where Stewart’s dis- 
ease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow 
ordinary varieties. This corn, the product 
of crossing two pure lines, is not only re- 
sistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s disease) 
but produces larger crops of beautiful ears. 
The ears have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow 
kernels, uniform in length (about 8 inches) 
of excellent quality. Matures a week later 
than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripen- 
ing at about the same time. This crossed 
seed will produce the true Golden Cross Ban- 
tam described above. Seed from the 1943 
erop cannot be saved for 1944, as it breaks 
down. The cross has to be made each year.

famous winner of many horticultural prizes, 
This is no fake variety; it is exactly what the

quality than Golden Bantam; will yield twice as 
much per acre; larger eared and larger stalk, 
making it the most productive of the best yel- 
low Sweet Corns in existence. We have pur-

GOLDEN BANTAM. This is a Sweet Corn of 
most exquisite quality, which, when ready to 
use, is of a bright golden yellow color. It looks 
rich and is rich, and no mistake. It can be 
planted very early, as it is as hardy as the 
Extra Early Adams. The small stalks can 
grow closely together in the row and will pro- 
duce two or three ears each. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (50 days.) Blue skies and 
sunshine have combined their divinely guided 
chemistry to produce the nectar-like sweetness

compact, about same size as Golden Bantam, 
but more refined. in appearance, having from 
ten to twelve rows of grain instead of eight 
as Golden Bantam. It is a very rapid grower; 
earliest of the golden group.
