SWEET CORN 
CULTURE—Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows 
34% feet, allowing two stalks to the hill or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
12 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. May 15th to 25th is good for the - 
later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather as well as the early sorts. =p 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, 
fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to July 5. Use Victory Garden fertilizer.

GOLDEN MIDGET—A miniature sweet 
corn that has found a place in small city 
gardens. The stalks grow only 2% to 
3 feet tall, bearing several small golden 
ears about 4 to 5 inches long in cooking 
stages. The quality is very good and it 
matures very early. It takes very little 
room in the garden compared to standard 
varieties. Packets only at 15¢ each. 
*GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET — 
Earliest of the golden varieties. Ears 
average about the same size as Improved 
Bantam with stalks four feet tall. We 
recommend this for market and home 
gardens. The sweetest first early variety 
we have tested. The best and earliest 
high quality first early sort. Our own 
introduction. We have increased the size 
of this fine corn. 
*“GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BAN- 
TAM — Superior to the original Golden 
Bantam in quality and nearly twice the 
size, also one week earlier. Nearly all 
ears carry 12 rows of deep, rich golden 
yellow kernels set close upon the cob. Do 
not compare this with the original strain, 
as it is far superior in every respect, 
and any gardener who places this corn 
on the market will command better sales. 
It has no superior for market, table, 
canning or drying. Remember, we are 
the originators of this improved strain 
and continue our careful stock seed selec- 
tions each year. We have received many 
letters of praise for this corn and many 
of our customers will have nothing else. 
We consider this the best quality of any 
sweet corn to date. It represents over 
30 years of careful selection by ourselves 
directed toward better quality. 
*GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. 
—The earliest large, true sweet corn of 
golden color. It is a cross between our 
Improved Golden Bantam and Early 
White Market. According to our own 
trials and reports from all over the coun- 
try, it is earlier and larger than Golden 
Sunshine. It is the outstanding early 
corn and is a money-maker for garden- 
ers. For home use or market, be sure to 
plant this variety. It matures about a 
week earlier than Improved Golden Ban- 
tam. Large, golden ears, tightly filled 
with large sweet grains of high quality. 
Originated by our firm.

SEEDS SMALL PART OF COST 
Why prepare and cultivate a garden with 
the cheapest seed? A few cents additional 
in cost of seed may spell the difference

‘dear at any cost. Yet, with all, our prices are 
reasonable and maintain quality.
