Hardie’s Sweet or Garden Corn 
America’s most distinctive natural delicacy. Easily grown and best when 
fresh gathered, only home gardeners can fully enjoy it, and no garden is com- 
plete without it. Here are the most delicious varieties adapted to this section. 
CULTURE—Plant in hills three feet apart; leave two or three plants to the hill; where 
ground is strong, dwarf vaireties like Adams’ Early, can be planted in hills two and a half 
‘eet apart. 
170-—GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Extremely 
uniform in plant and ear characteristics and 
in maturity. Ears are about 8 in. long, 12 to 
14 rowed. Stalks 6 to 7 ft. high, sturdy, and 
productive. Kernel is attractive yellow, tender, 
deep, of excellent flavor and quality. Pkt., 15c; 
Ib., 55c, postpaid. 
175—TRUCKER’S FAVORITE. A white corn, 
with good depth of grain, very tender and 
sweet and a most desirable size for roasting 
ears. Matures with Adams’ Early and slightly 
larger in size. It is considered one of the best 
sorts of the semi-sweet kinds. Will stand early 
planting as it is hardy. Should you not use all 
of your crop for roasting ears, it is excellent 
for meal or feeding. Pkt., 10c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 
75c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. Write for prices 
on larger quantities. 
172—GOLDEN BANTAM. A very early and 
very sweet sugar corn. Ears are small, five 
to seven inches in length, but are borne very 
productively, two or three good ears to the 
stalk. The color of grain is creamy-yellow, 
tender and of fine flavor, and is very much 
liked for private gardens. Pkt., 10c; Ib., 45c; 
2 Ibs., 80c; 5 Ibs., $1.75, postpaid. 
176—HICKORY KING, IOWA SILVERMINE 
and WHITE PEARL. All good to plant for 
roasting ears. Pkt., 10c; lb., 40c, postpaid. For 
larger quantities, see Field Corn. 
174—IOANA. This attractive sweet corn has 
ears 8 in. long, 12 to 14 rows, uniform and 
well filled. The kernel is light yellow, medium 
narrow, and sweet flavored. The stalks are 6 
ft., sturdy with heavy foliage. Pkt., 15c; Ib., 
55c, postpaid. 
171—_COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Sweet). This 
we consider the par excellence of Sweet Corn. 
A variety of great value especially recommend- 
ed for home gardens; no variety can equal it 
for sweetness or delicacy of flavor; very pro- 
ductive, producing three to five ears to the 
stalk; the grains are exceedingly deep and 
crowded irregularly on the cob. We would 
warn purchasers not to consider the seed of 
this variety poor when they get it, as the 
prime seed of “Country Gentleman” has a 
decided look of poverty about it. Pkt., 10c; Ib., 
50c; 2 Ibs., 90, postpaid. 
173—TEXAS HONEY JUNE. A cross between 
Mexican June and Country Gentleman, which 
was completed after being extensively tested 
by the Experiment Station and by growers 
throughout the State. The roasting ears are 
ready in about 87 days after planting. The 
ears are of medium size with a long, heavy 
shuck, which protects the corn from worms 
and other insects. The stalk is healthy and 
vigorous, growing to an average height of six 
feet; this is much taller than other sweet 
corn. Every one should plant some of this 
delicious corn. Pkt., 10c; Ib., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c; 
5 Ibs., $1.85, postpaid.
