SELECTED SWEET CORN 
Plant about May 5th in hills and allow two 
plants to grow in each hill. Sweet Corn requires 
rich soil. To have a continuous supply of Sweet 
Corn throughout the season, plant every two weeks 
until July. 
One pound will plant 125 hills. 

See page 39 for our famous Hybrid Sweet 
Corn Collection. 
See below for prices of individual varieties. 

Old Favorite Non-Hybrid Sweet Corn 
(Open Pollinated Varieties) 
Black Mexican. Second-early. Grain bluish black 
when ripe. 
Country Gentleman. A well known late variety. 
Ears 7 to 9 inches long; densely covered with 
very sweet, white grains. 

EARLY GOLD. The earliest of all Hybrid Sweet 
Corn that is highly disease-resistant and in 
flavor equals Golden Bantam at its best. We 
predict this variety will take the place of 
Golden Bantam. Its hardy resistant qualities 
allow it to be planted very early for an extra 
early crop. 

Golden Bantam. The sweetest and most delicious 
extra early Corn for the home garden. Each 
stalk bears two or three well filled ears, 6 to 7 
inches in length. Creamy yellow, very milky, 
tender and sweet. 
Golden Sunshine. An extra early Corn, ripening 10 
days earlier than Golden Bantam. Ears 6 to 8 
inches long, with 12 rows of tender kernels. Is 
worth growing in every garden. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Extensively planted by mar- 
ket gardeners for a main crop. The ears are 
long and thick, 16- to 20-rowed; the grain is 
pure white, very deep and sweet.

winter. Pkt., 25c; VY oz., $1.00; oz., $1.75. 
CUCUMBERS 
For very early Cucumbers, start seeds in pots in 
the frame or greenhouse, and set plants out when 
all danger of frost is past. For main crop, plant 
in hills outdoors, 3 feet apart, the beginning of 
May. Leave four strong plants to each hill. Cu- 
cumbers should be gathered as quickly as they are 
ready for use, for, if left to ripen, they destroy 
the productiveness of the vine. For pickling, plant 
during June and July.
