351 Improved Golden Bantam 
Extra Select Pure Bred Seed 
Very popular early Sweet Corn. The standard of the 
yellow varieties. The ears are very uniform, 6 to 7 inches 
long with 8.rows. The kernels are broad and evenly set, 
rich golden yellow in color, tender, sweet and palatable. 



5 Ibs., $1.75, postpaid. 

370 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., 
10 cts.; % Ib., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 
Ibs., 80 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.75, postpaid. 
367 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.; % Ib., 25 cts.; Ib., 45 cts., 2 
Ibs., 80 cts.; 5 Ibs., $1.75, postpaid. 
368 Vanguard 
A superb second early sort. An im- 
proved howling mcb. Ready for table 
in 80 days. The robust plants, 44 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., 10 cts.; % Ib., 25 cts.;

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

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, 
longer seasonand superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban- 
tam and is displacing the latter in
