OPEN POLLINATED SWEET CORN (Continued) 
Extra Early Varieties 
Golden Gem 70 days 
Similar to Banting and Earliest Golden 
Sweet, 8 row. 
Golden Sunshine 76 days 
This is a cross between Golden Bantam 
and Early Market, a white variety. It is a 
week earlier than Bantam, plants are slight- 
ly smaller. Ears have 10 to 14 rows of 
creamy yellow kernels and are surprisingly 
large for an early variety. 
Whipple’s Early Yellow 84 days 
A second early variety having a large ear 
of much merit. This variety withstood the 
heat and drought conditions of 1936 better 
than any other open pollinated variety we 
had. It is a strong dependable grower. The 
kernel is medium shallow and the quality 
not as good as Golden Bantam but its de- 
pendability is of merit. The ears are 6 to 
742 in. with 12 to 14 rows of kernels which 
are light yellow in eating stage. Plant is 6 
to 64% ft. and vigorous.
