370 Shumway’s New Golden Gem 
An entirely new variety developed by 
the North Dakota Experiment Station 
and the earliest yellow sweet corn on | 
the market, producing ears in 67 days. 
The ear is about the same size as Sun- 
shine, but has only 8 to 10 rows. Qual- 
ity, tenderness and sweet flavor are 
unsurpassed, The plant is exceedingly 
short, but vigorous and productive and 
certain to be a great favorite. Pkt.,

367 Shumway’s Early Golden 
Market 
One of the later introductions in 
early Sweet Corn maturing marketable 
crop in 70 days from time of planting. 
Ears 8 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, 
fine grained, delicious flavor, stalks 
4%, feet high. I consider this the 
leader by far of all early yellow varie- 
ties of Sweet Corn. A sure money 
maker for market gardeners where a 
matter of 5 to 10 days in marketing a 
crop makes a tremendous difference in 
the value per dozen or 100 ears. Pkt., 
10 cts.; 4% Ib., 23 cts.; lb., 40 cts., 2 
Ibs., 70 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.50, postpaid. 








368 Shumway’s Vanguard 
A superb second early sort. An im- 
proved howling mob. Ready for table 
in 80 days. The robust plants, 4% to 
5 feet tall, produce large ears, usu- 
ally two, 7 to 7% inches long, with 
12 rows of medium-sized deep-set 
grains, pearly-white, tender, juicy 
and deliciously sweet. No other type 
can surpass it in flavor. It is a fa- 
vorite trucker’s variety because it’ 
combines large size with high qual- 
ity, thereby dominating many mar- 
kets. Also desirable for the home 
garden. Pkt., HO ete VY, |b., 23 tee

369 Whipple’s 
Early White 
A grand early white corn. The 
ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather 
narrow kernels and are of very fine 
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long 
and large around. They looklike well 
bred Evergreen yet they mature two 
to three weeks earlier. Market gar- 
deners find that the size, high yield 
(there are often two good ears on 
a stalk) and earliness make this a 
very profitable kind to grow for mar- 
kets where a white corn is wanted. 
Ready for use in 80 days. Pkt., 10 
cts.; % lb., 23 cts.; Ib., 40 cts.; 2 
Ibs., 70 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.50, postpaid. 
350 Golden Sunshine 
Ready in 68 days. A quite new, 
remarkably fine, extra early va- 
riety originated through selective 
breeding by Professor A. F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and stays in table quality 
for a greater length of time. The 
ear is about one inch longer and 
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8. The 
kernels are sweeter, more tender 
and a lighter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its earlier maturity, 
longerseasonand superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban- 
tam and is displacing the latter in 
many markets. Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 
Ib., 23 cts.; Ib., 40 cts.; 2 Ibs., 70 
cts.; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 350 Golden Sunshine
