yellow kernels. 
LINCOLN. Vigorous, well-foliaged plants; tapering ears well 
filled to tips with 12-16 rows of bright yellow kernels. 
Height of stalk 6 feet, 83 days to maturity. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID. While this original hy- 
brid variety still leads the group in yield per acre, new va- 
rieties have been developed that mature earlier at the ex- 
pense of production. We still strongly recommend Golden 
Cross Bantam, believing it to be as good as one would want 
for the home garden and for maximum production of ears. 
However, if as a market gardener, you are out after the 
earliest production and want to get on the market with sweet 
corn before your neighbor, then we suggest that you plant 
Hybrid Golden Market, listed above. Golden Cross Bantam 
matures in about 90 days, yields double that of Golden Ban- 
tam; twelve rows to the ear. In trial plantings it yielded 
20,000 ears to the acre. A trifle lighter in color than Golden 
Bantam. Pkt. 10c; % Ib. 40c; Ib. 70c. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. One of the best extra early yellow 
varieties for home and market garden. Ears have strong 
husks; 8 to 12 rowed. Kernels golden-yellow, medium, ten- 
der, sweet and of good flavor. Very prolific for so early a 
variety. Matures in 75 days from planting which is 5 days 
_earlier than Golden Bantam. Prices at top of page. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. The best known and most favorably known 
of all the yellow varieties. Stalks often have 2 ears. Ears 
8 rowed; kernels broad, with tender hull, sweet, and of ex- 
ceptionally fine flavor. Used widely for home gardens, by 
truckers and for canning. Matures in 77 days. All our seed 
sweet corn is northern grown, acclimated seed. Prices at top 
of page. 


POP CORN 
ROBUST HULLESS. Most profitable and popular; short ears, 
white pointed kernels. Pkt. 10c; 2 Ib. 20c; Ib. 35c. 
GOLDEN PEARL YELLOW. A giant yellow corn. Pops into 
mammoth creamy yellow, tender, fluffy kernels. Pkt. 15c; 
Vasib-a0c Ibe oO. 
CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE. Reasonably good soil that is fully exposed to the 
sun will raise a good crop of Cucumbers. Every family should be 
supplied from its home garden, since the fruit is so much better 
when gathered fresh from the vines as desired for use than it 
is in the more or less wilted condition in which it is found on 
the market. Cucumbers are close relatives of melons but mature 
in about 60 days and may be brought to maturity with little 
trouble in the home garden. The seeds must be sown after the 
ground becomes warm, and the plants thinned to three or four 
to the hill. A very rich soil is the best precaution against insects 
and the blight. The striped beetle should be kept away from 
the young plants with liberal applications of powdered DUTOX. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN. Matures in 72 days. The most pop- 
ular and one of the best for the home garden; particularly 
desirable for slicing. Fruits rich dark green; black spined; 12 
inches long; 2% to 234 inches thick; straight; cylindrical; 
with few seeds. Carry a distinctive flavor, make excellent 
pickles, and when yellow and ripe the best sweet pickles.
