THE VARIETIES ON THIS PAGE ARE NOT SUGAR CORNS. THEY ARE 
HARDIER AND CAN BE PLANTED EARLIER THAN THE SUGAR CORNS AND 
MAKE EXCELLENT ROASTING EARS BEFORE THE SUGAR CORNS ARE 
READY. 





CULTURE—Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excellent garden corn 
may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and thoroughly worked before 
planting. Plant the early varieties the last of March or early in April. SWEET CORNS 
ARE TENDER and should not be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise 
they are liable to rot. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, and con- 
tinue plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in August for a suc- 
cession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant during July or early in August 
for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills; 10 to 12 pounds plants an acre. 
150. BLAND'S EXTRA EARLY (65 Days)—If you want the first roasting ears 
in your neighborhood, you: must plant Bland’s—Bland's is pre-eminently 
the earliest of all garden corns, about a week earlier than Extra Early 
Adams. No corn we have ever offered has had such constant and growing 
demand. It makes an attractive ear of good size and fine quality; the grains 
are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. We recommend it to the private 
gardener and to those who grow for market, for in earliness it is ahead of 
any garden corn. and the size and appearance should make it a ready 
seller. By mail postpaid, Pkt. 10c; '/ Ib. 25c; Ib. 40c; 2 Ibs. 65c; 5 Ibs.

151. TRUCKER'S FAVORITE (75 Days)—Make a planting of Trucker's Favo- 
rite to make bigger ears to come in after Bland's Extra Early—There is no 
early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as Trucker's Favorite. 
It makes an ear about 10 inches long, with a good depth of plump, tender, 
sweet grains. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and can be planted 
weeks earlier, is ready for market in about 75 days. Although not a sugar 
corn it makes the finest roasting ears.’ We believe we are safe in saying 
that nearly 90 per cent of the table corns shipped North by truck growers is 
Trucker's Favorite; on the Richmond market it outsells all garden corns and 
brings top prices. Unfortunately, since we introduced Trucker's Favorite the 
name appealed to many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been applied 
to many other corns. To have the real Trucker's Favorite corn order from 
us, who originated it. By mail postpaid. Pkt. 10c; |/2 Ib. 20c; Ib. 35c; 2 Ibs.
