ck. *139%Y. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (93 
i days.) Often called ‘‘Shoepeg’’ corn because of the 
long, narrOw pointed kernels, with their crowded and 
irregular arrangement on the cob. It is a distinct 
late variety, with two to five big ears on a large 
stalk. A favorite main crop sweet corn, packed from 
tip to butt with long pearly-white kernels set closely 
on a remarkably small cob, Sweeter and finer flavored 
than any other white corn and one of the best of 
the late varieties for table use. Pkt. (2 ozs.), 10c;

*137. GOLD RUSH HYBRID. (71 days.) 
Our new extra early hybrid of excellent quality that 
is ready 10 days ahead of Golden Cross Bantam. See 
page 1 for description, Pkt., 15c; Y% I1b., 40c; Ib., 
65e; 2 lbs., $1.20; 5 lbs., $2.50, postpaid, 
%142. GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) Most 
popular variety in the United States. Everyone ?ikes 
Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people will not take 
any other when it is obtainable. The flavor is de- 
liciously distinct, superior to that of any other corn. 
The small 8-rowed ears, usually less than six inches in 
length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher in 
sugar content than any other corn. It is only 10 to 
12 days later than Golden Gem, making a good suc- 
cession when both varieties are planted at the same 
time, The kernels are tender, very wide and of good 

depth, while the cob is small and the flavor delicious. 

Golden Cross Bantam Hybrid. 
*141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HY- 
BRID. (84 days.) A cross of two inbred Bantams. 
It is midseason about four days later than regular Ban- 
tam. Stalks average about 6 feet in height and very 
sturdy. Two ears are usually produced on each stalk 
averaging 8 inches in length. It will yield about 50 
per cent more than regular Bantam and is resistant to 
Stewart’s Disease. Hybrid corns are remarkable for 
their uniformity of stalk, ears, and time of ripening. 
For the home gardens it should be planted at intervals, 
otherwise it will all ripen at one time. For canning, 
this variety cannot be beaten. Quality is excellent. 
Seed stocks must be produced each year from hybrids 
and we caution our customers not to save seed as it 
will not give satisfactory results. Pkt., (2 ozs.), 10c;

Golden Sunshine. 
148. GOLDEN SUNSHINE. 
(76 days.) ‘The most important 
feature of Golden Sunshine Corn 
is its extreme earliness. It is ac- 
tually 5 to 7 days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. This valuable vari- 
ety was developed and introduced 
by Dr. Yeager while at the North 
Dakota Agricultural Experiment 
Station. It has a rich, golden color; 
the ears are about one inch longer 
than the ears of Golden Bantam 
and usually have 12 rows instead 
of 8, while the quality practically 
equals that of the famous Bantam. 
Our stock of this corn is especially 
fine. Pkt. -(2- ozs)e Less tGrulb:.

TAM EVERGREEN. (88 days.) 
Many attempts have been made to 
combine the sweetness, earliness, 
color and flavor of Golden Ban- 
tam, with the tender skin and 
large ear of the Evergreen. The 
Bantam Evergreen’ is the only 
really successful cross. ‘A fine sec- 
ond-planting variety Evergreen

Golden Gem. 
144. GOLDEN GEM. (60 to 70 days.) Without doubt the 
finest extra early yellow corn so far introduced. It is just as early as 
any of the white varieties and will sell much more readily than the white. 
The ears of Golden Gem are rather small, averaging from 6 to 7 inches 
in length, 8 rows to the ear and often are two to the stalk. Golden 
Gem is 10 days ahead of Golden Bantam and the quality fully equal to 
that famous old variety. Ideal for the North. Stalks 4 feet. Pkt. (2

2 Ibs., 143. MIXED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hy- 
brid Sweet Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet 
corn. It is resistant to Stewart’s Disease and for yield 
and quality cannot be excelled. It has one objection in 
the home garden in that it matures all at one time. To 
overcome this we have taken and mixed equal propor- 
tions of three hybrids, one of 70 days, one of 75 days 
and one of 90 days. By planting this mixture you will 
have the finest quality sweet corn throughout the sweet 
corn season. Pkt. (2 0zs.), 10c; 1% Ib., 30c; lb., 50c; 
2 lbs., 90c; 5 lbs., $1.90, postpaid. 
SUCCESSION SWEET CORN 
COLLECTION 
136C. Plant all at one time and you will have 
sweet corn over a long period, 
Golden Gem, first early; Golden Bantam, second 
early, and Country Gentleman, late. One pkt. of 
each of the three, 20c; % lb. of each, 60c; 1 Ib. 
of each, $1.05, postpaid. 

BUYING SEEDS 
Few businesses are built up and maintained on char-’ 
acter and confidence to the extent of the seed business. 
Nor is the purchaser so dependent on the knowledge 
and integrity of the seller. It is impossible for any 
one to tell by looking at seed whether it will grow or 
whether it will produce the kind of crop desired. Buy- 
ing seed is largely a matter of confidence. We are 
gratified to know that our customers realize this and 
that for over half a century they have depended upon 
us for their seeds, As a result of this confidence many 
new orders are sent us each year solely because friends 
had recommended us to them. If you like our seeds tell 
your friends and send us their names and we will send 
them a free catalog.
