THE BEST SWEET CORN 
Our Northern Grown Seed Corn Means Earlier 1 
Crens and Hardier Plants 
Sweet Corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil that is thoroughly worked. Plant five kernels to 
the hill, which should be about 3 feet apart each way, or plant in rows, one seed every 3 inches, covering 
seed with about | inch of soil firmly pressed down. Thin out to three plants to a hill. For succession, plant 
every ic weeks up to July 15th. A pkg. will sow a row 50 ft. long or 30 hills. Pound, 1000 ft. of row or 
400 hills. 
Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Hybrid Corns are crosses between an inbred 
strain and a standard variety or a crossing of 
two inbreds. To produce Hybrid Corn this must 
be done each year. Do not save seed from Hy- 
brids, it will not come true the following season. 
Get new Hybrid Corn seed each year. Hybrid 
Corns are of special value to commercial growers 
because the ears from one planting mature at 
the same time. If you want Corn over a longer 
period from one planting, use the open-pollinated 
varieties such as Golden Bantam. 
What a delightfully superior flavor Sweet Corn 
has when eaten a half hour or so after you have 
picked it from your garden. 
If you decide to plant a Hybrid Corn, it is best 
to make several plantings a week or ten days 
apart so that you may pick ears over a longer 
period.

hybrid Sweet Corn that we have seen, The ears

To gardeners who want a larger- 
eared corn than Golden Bantam, 



Stowell’s Evergreen. (95 days.) The 
standard main-crop variety for home garden or 
we recommend this variety. The 
ears are 8 to 10 inches long and 
filled with creamy yellow, ten- 
der, sweet, and juicy kernels of 
very fine quality. It ripens about 
10 days later than our Bantam.

clare it the finest quality of all 
sweet corn.

Golden Bantam. (78 days.) Hart & 
Vick’s old-fashioned strain with 6-inch ears, 
8 rows of deep kernels. The original strain 
that made Golden Bantam famous, is, we be- 
lieve, away ahead of any other; not only has 
it the wonderful richness, sweetness, and ten- 
derness that make this variety so popular, but 
to these we have added a larger and better- 
filled ear and a much greater yield. If you 
have only a small garden, grow just Golden 
Bantam; sow it in succession so you can have 
it on your table all season long.
