The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are 
hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns 
and make excellent roasting ears before the 
sugar corns are ready. 
CULTURE—Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excel- 
lent garden corn may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and 
thoroughly worked before planting. Plant the eariy varieties the last of 
March or early in April; SWEET CORNS ARE TENDER and should not 
be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable 
to rot. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, and continue 
plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in August for 
a succession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant during July 
or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; 
10 to 12 pounds plants an acre. 
150. Bland’s Extra Early (65 Days) 
If you want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood, 
you must plant Bland’s. 
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, about a week 
earlier than Extra Early Adams. No corn we have ever offered has had 
such constant and growing demand; practically every general order calls § 
for Bland’s Extra Early. It makes an attractive ear of good size and fine 
quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. If you § 
are like most gardeners and take a pride in having the earliest garden 
in your neighborhood, you will have to plant Bland’s. We recommend 
it not only to the private gardener, but to those who grow for market, 
for in earliness it is ahead of any garden corn in cultivation and the size 
and appearance of the ear should make it a ready seller. By mail post-

151. Trucker’s Favorite (80 Days) 
Make a aarting of Trucker’s Favoxite to make bigger ears to come 
in after Bland’s Extra Early. 
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as 
Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches long, 
» with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many prefer to 
Sugar corn. It is much hardied than any sugar corn and can be planted 
weeks earlier, and is ready for the table or market in about 70 days. 
Although not a sugar corn it makes the finest roasting ears. We believe 
we are Safe in saying that nearly 90 per cent of the table corns shipped 
North by truck growers is Trucker’s Favorite: on the Richmond market 
it outsells all garden corns and brings top prices. Unfortunately, since 
we introduced Trucker’s Favorite the name seems to have appealed to 
many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been applied to many other 
corns. If you order Trucker’s Favorite from half a dozen seed houses 
you would probably get a different corn from each. To have the real 
Trucker’s Favorite corn order from us, who originated it. By mail post-
