SWEET CORN 
It is desirable to make several successive 
plantings. For best result plant in squares, 
the rows being 31% to 4% feet apart. Plant- 
ings of single rows should be hand polli- 
nated.

A number of years ago our good friend 
Lee Bonnewitz of Van Wert, Ohio, sent us - 
some seed of Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn for 
trial. We were so impressed with the fine 
quality of this new sweet corn that we ar- 
ranged to list it in our catalog. 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn was grown by 
the Bonnewitz family for many years and 
has only recently been offered to the pub- 
lic. It is supposed to have been originally 
obtained from the Indians. 
After growing our own seed for several 
years, we decided to improve the strain. 
The stock we grow for seed is all from se- 
lected ears. As a result we offer the finest 
seed of Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn that can 
be had. ‘ 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn is a vigorous 
grower and a generous producer of good big 
ears and is long lasting, even ears on which 
the husks are beginning to dry can still be 
used for the table. 
We have never eaten a sweet corn with 
the same nutty sweet flavor. 
Each year we receive many letters from 
customers in different parts of the United 
States telling us of the fine qualities of this 
new sweet corn. 
Here are a few: : : 
Sioux City, Iowa. 
‘“Enclosed please find check for $2.00 for 
some of your Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn. I’ve 
lived in Iowa for 75 years and can truth- 
fully say that Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn is 
the very best I have ever eaten.” 
Webster Grove, Missouri. 
“The sweet corn (Aunt Mary’s) is the fin- 
est and best I have ever eaten, and if the 
squirrels could write I am sure they would 
give you one of the finest testimonials you 
have ever received on same.” 
Berkeley, Calif. 
“Please send to my friend in Boulder 
City, Nevada, one packet of Aunt Mary’s 
Sweet Corn. I had wonderful success with 
same here in Berkeley last year. The most 
delicious corn we ever tasted.” 
Berkeley, California, is located near the 
coast where the summers are cool, and yet 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn grows well here as 
it does in practically every other section of 
the United States.
