THE EARLIEST WHITE SWEET CORN 
The earliest white Sweet Corn, maturing 8 to 10 
days ahead of Golden Bantam. Quality superior, to 
that of most varieties of extra early Corn; extremely 
hardy; can be planted early, withstanding cold, wet 
weather to a wonderful degree. Ears 6 to 7 inches 
long; 8 rowed; kernels pure white, sweet and tender. 
Very productive for an extra early sort, usually pro- 
ducing two ears to the stalk. We highly recommend 
this variety for home use, and as a market sort it is a 
money maker. 
Country Gentleman yy. stanaara 
of excellence in late white sweet corn according to 
experienced home-gardeners, market-gardeners, cooks 
and canners. Dependably productive and claimed to 
be the best open-pollinated variety in extremes of 
heat and drought, Plants very large, often bear two 
or more large ears; yields also a heavy tonnage of 
forage which makes Country Gentleman a good dual- 
purpose variety for gardeners who have stock to feed. 
Ears about eight inches long. Kernels white, sweet 
and temder; very long, slender, shoe-peg shape; 
closely packed in irregular rows. 
Hybrid Sweet Corn - 
Hybrid Sweet Corn varieties are more vigorous 
and uniform, more productive, produce corn of bet- 
ter quality than standard varieties, and are resistant 
to Stewart’s diseases or bacterial wilt.

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 
more vigorous and productive. 
The result of a cross 
Golden Evergreen jejvcen Stowell’s Bv- 
ergreen and Golden Bantam, possessing all the splendid 
qualities of both of these popular varieties and better than 
either. The ears are as large as Stowell’s Evergreen 
and is of true Evergreen habit, remaining equally as 
long a time in good cooking condition. It is of the 
same color as Golden Bantam, and has all the de- 
licious qualities of that variety, with an added sweet- 
ness and superior flavor. In season half way between 
Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. For the home 
garden and fancy market trade this corn has no equal.
