SWEET CORN OPEN POLLINATED—(Continued) 
BANTAM EVERGREEN 
Medium early, the result of a direct cross between Golden Bantam and 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears large, 714 to 8 inches long with 14 to 18 rows. 
Stalks 6 to 7 feet tall. A rich golden cream in color, excellent flavor and re- 
mains in table condition a long time. 
EARLY SUNSHINE 
An excellent early yellow sweet corn. Ears of good size, usually 7 to 9 inches, 
10 to 12 rowed. Kernels medium broad, golden yellow. 
Golden Bantam 
An early variety of delicious flavor. Our strain is not so dwarf as the original. 
Ears about 8 inches, 8 to 10 rowed, rich golden yellow. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET (Gill’s) 
A splendid extra early yellow corn, producing ears of excellent quality. Ears 
7 inches long with 12 rows. In our recent trials it was ready for the table in 
62 days. Ears have strong husks. Kernels golden yellow and good flavor. Very 
profitable for market gardeners. 
GUNSON’S SPECIAL GOLDEN BANTAM (See Photo Page 17) 
A special selection that is taking first place with gardeners having a critical 
sweet corn trade. Remains in good market condition much longer than the 
old type Bantam and very much superior in quality. In trials conducted by 
the Connecticut Agriculture Experiment Station this corn produced the 
remarkable yield of 14,000 marketable ears per acre. Ears are considerably 
larger in size than the regular Golden Bantam, 10 to 16 rowed, color rich 
golden yellow, tender and delicious. We consider this corn the acme of 
perfection. i 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 
The standard late or main crop variety, very valuable for canning and grown 
extensively for the market. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sweet 
and remains in condition a long time. Our stock has been carefully grown 
and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration in the 
Evergreen character in this best known of all late varieties. 
WHIPPLE’S EARLY YELLOW | 
A new yellow sweet corn, maturing about the same time as Golden Bantam 
but with larger ears. Stalks 6 feet tall. Ears 7 to 8 inches long, 14 rowed; 
kernels broad, deep and of excellent flavor. 
SWEET CORN—Hybrid 
The seed of Hybrid sweet corn is produced each year by crossing. Seed from 
plantings of Hybrid Sweet Corn should not be saved. The crosses must be made 
each year otherwise they will break down.

One week earlier than Golden Cross Bantam. Ears 12 rowed, slimmer and 
longer than Golden Cross. A new strain of Bantam Hybrid that will meet the 
demands of gardeners wanting an attractive corn of quality and earlier than 
Golden Cross.
