P 301 Burpee’s Golden Bantam © — Known to all 
80 days. Introduced by Burpee and deservedly America's favorite sweet 
corn. The plants are 5 to 61 ft. tall, and the ears are slender, 5% to 6% in. 
long, with 8 and only 8 rows of even, broad, moderately deep, golden kernels 
of the most delicious flavor. If you want a larger ear, if you want an earlier 
corn, a more productive one, we have varieties and hybrids for your needs, 
but if you want the best and sweetest for your table, it’s true 8-rowed 
Golden Bantam. It is the first real sweet corn demanded in market, and the 
most popular with the home gardener; highly prized for freezing.
