SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed — Note those with star. 
CULTURE—Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows

314 feet, allowing two stalks to the hill or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
12 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. 
May 15th to 25th is good for the 
later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather as well as the early sorts. 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, 
fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to July 5. Use Victory Garden fertilizer.

*GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET — Earliest of 
the golden varieties. Ears average about the same 
size as Improved Bantam with stalks three and 
one-half feet tall. We recommend this for market 
and home gardens. The sweetest first early variety 
we have tested. The best and earliest high quality 
first early sort. Our own introduction. 
*GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM— 
Superior to the original Golden Bantam in quality 
and nearly twice the size, also one week earlier. 
Nearly all ears carry 12 rows of deep, rich golden 
yellow kernels set close upon the cob. Do not com- 
pare this with the original strain, as it is far 
superior in every respect, and any gardener who 
places. this. corn on the market will command 
better sales and prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, canning or 
drying. Remember, we are the originators of this 
improved strain and continue our careful stock 
seed selections each year. We have received many 
letters of praise for this corn and many of our 
customers will have nothing else. We consider this 
the best quality of any sweet corn to date. It 
represents over 30 years of careful selection by 
ourselves directed toward better quality. 
*GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY MARKET—The earli- 
est large, true sweet corn of golden color. It is a 
cross between our Improved Golden Bantam and 
Early White Market. According to our own trials 
and reports from all over the country, it is earlier 
and larger than Golden Sunshine. It is the outstand- 
ing early corn and is a money-maker for gardeners. 
For home use or market, be sure to plant this 
variety. It matures about a week earlier than Im- 
proved Golden Bantam. Large, golden ears, tightly 
filled with large sweet grains of high quality. 
Originated by our firm. 
EIGHT ROW BANTAM—tThe original type of 
Golden Bantam. Long, slender ears. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE—A few days later than 
Golden Early Market. Fine quality; golden yellow. 
*GOLDEN GIANT—Large, golden yellow ears of 
high quality. Matures about ten days after Im- 
proved Golden Bantam. Popular yellow corn for 
late markets. A really first class variety. 
*OREGON EVERGREEN — While this is not a 
first early corn, this strain is considerably earlier 
than Stowell’s Evergreen, which it resembles. 
*STOWELL’S EVERGREEN — Standard white 
variety, later than Oregon Evergreen. Used for 
market and ensilage. s
