SWEET CORN 
(For Field Corn, 
See Pages 38 and 39) 
Plant 11 pounds (1 peck) per acre. In the garden make two plantings. Plant 14 lb. to 200 feet of row at each 
planting for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
This is a crop that never fails to bring profitable returns to 
Florida truckers when put on the market early. 
Cutture. Plant in well fertilized rows 2% to 3 feet apart, 
dropping 2 seeds every 12 to 15 inches in the row, leaving 1 
plant in a place. When about knee high, apply 200 pounds 
per acre of a quick-acting fertilizer high in available nitrogen 
and the same amount again when the corn begins to silk and 
tassel. This fertilizer application will greatly increase the 
yield, and will bring your crop to earlier maturity. Ship in 
special corn crates, six to eight dozen to the package. Early 
plantings are made in Florida from January 1 until March. 
The number of days indicated for each variety represents 
the time from seed planting to first harvest under average 
spring conditions in Florida. For control of corn earworm see

LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (80 days.) This is a late sweet 
corn especially well adapted to Florida. It produces the Jarg- 
est ears of any variety of true sweet corn, the ears ranging 
from 11 to 12 inches in length, with eighteen to twenty rows 
of large glistening white kernels. The husks fit very tightly 
over the tip, making it difficult for the ear worm to enter. The 
stalks grow to a height of eight to ten feet. Numerous tests 
have shown this to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties of 
true sweet corn for Florida.

richest flavored of all white-kerneled sweet corns. The ears 
are eight to ten inches long, thickly covered with long, narrow, 
white kernels, without row formation, and borne on a small cob. 
It is sometimes called “Shoe Peg” corn because of its long, 
deep grains. The stalks grow to a height of about seven feet.

CORN - ROASTING EAR 
GOLD BOND (Improved Golden Bantam). (65 days.) 
This variety of yellow sweet corn is similar to Golden Bantam, 
only slightly later, and the plant is taller and more vigorous 
in growth, making it better adapted to Florida growing condi- 
tions. The ears are about seven inches long, with twelve to 
fourteen rows of large, deep orange-yellow colored kernels. 
Although the ears are not large, this is more than made up by 
its deliciously sweet flavor and tenderness. The stalks grow 
to a height of four to five feet. This is a good, very early, high 
quality, yellow-kerneled variety for Florida.

IOANA. (68 days.) This is a very productive, yellow-kerneled, 
true hybrid sweet corn, which won All America honors. The 
vigorous plants are highly resistant to drought. Plants are me- 
dium tall and sturdy, with large, broad and numerous vigorous, 
dark green leaves. Ears 714 to 8 inches long, 12 to 14 rowed, 
well filled with medium narrow, attractive yellow kernels. 
Covered with an exceptionally tough husk, which makes this 
variety highly resistant to worms. The husk retains its green 
color for a long time, making for fresh, attractive market appear- 
ance. Our strain of this hybrid is very uniform in plant and 
ear characters, and exceptionally productive. Being a true 
hybrid it is never advisable to save seed for planting.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. (65 days.) Golden Cross ban- 
tam is a true hybrid sweet corn that has done exceptionally 
well as an exceedingly high quality, yellow kerneled, early 
variety in Florida. The small, short stalk is very sturdy and 
vigorous. Suckers quite badly. The rather small six-inch Jong 
ears are 10 to 14 rowed. Kernels are attractive, deeper yellow in 
color than Golden Bantam. It is more uniform, higher yielding, 
and far superior to any of the ordinary Bantam varieties. Espe- 
cially recommended for home use, fancy local markets and for 
shipping to select markets. This being a hybrid corn, it is never 
advisable to save seed for planting.

CuLturE. Same as for sweet corn except given a little wider 
spacing—in rows 3 to 31 feet apart, and 15 to 18 inches in

ing than most varieties of sweet corn. For control of corn ear-
