Barden's Wonder Bantam 
This matchless Sweet Corn is a cross between Golden 
Bantam and Early Wonder, the result of which is a 
Bantam Sweet Corn with all the qualities and sweet- 
ness of the old reliable Golden Bantam, but with larger 
ears set up higher on the stalk, Ears 8 to 10 inches - 
long, filled with 8 rows of broad, rich, golden yellow 
kernels. Stalk 5 to 6 feet high. One of the big canning 
companies reports that Barden’s Wonder Bantam pro- 
duces one-third more tonnage per acre than any other 
Bantam Corn they have ever grown, and will consider 
using no other in the future. Tests each year have 
proved it to be as early as Golden Bantam and much Tendergold 
more vigorous and productive.
