Adam’s Early 

Garden Corn 
Good corn can be grown by anyone who has good rich land, well 
manured, carefully prepared, and who cultivates his crop frequent- 
ly. Prepare rows three feet apart and drop two or three kernels 
every twelve inches. Later thin to two feet apart in the row. 
Early and late plantings should be thicker than main crop, because 
at these seasons it is harder to get the seed to germinate properly. 
For the early plantings, the dent varieties are best, because they 
will stand more cold, wet weather than the sugar corns. For main 
crop, however, there is nothing better than sugar corn. 
47—BLAND’S EXTRA EARLY.—Said by many growers to 
be the very earliest corn in cultivation. It makes a small stalk 
and medium size ear, but comes in about two weeks ahead of most 
early corns, and proves most welcome for the first and last plant- 
ings of the season. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 Ibs. $1.25, 10 Ibs. $2.10, postpaid. 
40—ADAMS EXTRA EARLY.—A popular variety for the 
early planting that is noted for its hardy nature. It will with- 
stand both cold and wet to a remarkable degree and produce a 
good crop of medium sized ears. Practically as early, as the 
Bland’s. 
Pkt. 10c, Ib. 30c, 5 Ibs. $1.25, 10 Ibs. $2.10, postpaid. 
41—ADAMS EARLY.—A very early, but exceptionally large 
strain of the Adams corn and we believe it to be the best for early 
plantings. This variety comes just about a week later than the 
Adams Extra Early, but makes a very large ear. It is a dent 
variety, but produces a corn of tender, delicious quality. For both 
market and home growers it is a valuable variety and should be 
planted liberally for early use. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 
42——-TRUCKER’S FAVORITE.—The most popular of all the dent corns. It 
makes a good tall stalk with large ear and matures about one week later than 
the Adams Early. It makes a most desirable field corn for late planting or for 
market, 
Pkt. 10e, lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 
44—SILVER KING.—A large heavy yielding variety of dent corn that comes 
in just after Truckers Favorite and makes such a good yield that it surpasses 
most varieties of field corn. 
profitable. Grows a good strong stalk that has from two to four large ears. 
For the main crop market, Silver King will be 

Pkt. 10c, lb. 30c, 5 Ibs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 
48—GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM.—This is one of the latest introductions 
from the popular Golden Bantam family. Golden Cross has been bred for both 
wilt resistance and high yields until today it is the best of the sugar corns for 
small home gardens or for market. Matures in about 80 days. Ears long, 
slender and filled with straight rows of rich golden grains. It is a more vigor- 
ous grower than the old Bantam with taller and stronger stalk. 
Pkt. 15¢, Ib. 55c, 5 Ibs. $2.50, 10 Ibs. $4.50, postpaid. 
50—DE LUES GOLDEN GIANT.—The stalks are of medium size and very 
prolific. The ears are much larger but retain the fine flavor of the Golden 
Bantam and have the same small cob and large golden grains. It is a little 
earlier than Adams Early and the earliest sugar corn we know, which makes it 
valuable to both home and market growers. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 40c, 5 Ibs. $1.75, 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. 
4+6—STOWELL’S EVERGREEN.—We have never seen any sweet corn that 
possessed the robust stalk, large ear, and good quality corn that this one does. 
It is medium early and makes an excellent sort for main crop use and is the 
best of all for canning. It will remain longer in the edible stage than any other. 
The stalks are as tall and robust as those of field varieties with large leafy 
fodder and bearing several ears each. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 40c, 5 Ibs. $1.75, 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. 
45—COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.—One of the most popular main crop sweet 
corns in cultivation. Stalks grow tall and bear several large ears of from eight 
to ten inches, which are irregularly crowded with pearly white grains. The 
grains are very small and long. Cob small. 
Pkt. 10c, lb. 40c, 5 Ibs. $1.75, 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid.
