143. BLENDED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid 
Sweet Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet corn. It is 
resistant to Stewart’s Disease and for yield and quality 
cannot be excelled. It has one objection in the home garden 
in that it matures all at one time. To overcome this we have 
taken and mixed equal proportions of three hybrids, one of 
70 days, one of 75 days and one of 90 days. By planting 
this mixture you will have the finest quality sweet corn 
throughout the sweet corn season. Pkt., 10c; % Ib., 30c; Ihb., 
55c; 2 lbs., $1.00; 5 Ibs., $2.20, postpaid. 
139. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (93 days.) Often 
called ‘‘Shoepeg’’ corn because of the long narrow pointed 
kernels, with their crowded and irregular arrangement on the 
cob. It is a distinct late variety, with two to five big ears 
on a large stalk. A favorite main crop sweet corn, packed from 
tip to butt with long pearly-white kernels set closely on a re- 
markably small cob. Sweeter and finer flavored than any other 
white corn and one of the best of the late varieties for table 
use. Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.80, 
postpaid, 
138. HOWLING MOB. (85 days.) This white variety 
is so valuable that it heads the list with many growers. When 
it was first offered the demand for it became so loud and 
clamorous that it was given its queer but appropriate name. It 
is one of the best flavored and most tender of all second-early 
or main crop varieties. Very productive, ears nine to ten inch- 
es long, with sixteen rows. Pkt., 10c; Ye 1b., 25c; Ib., 45c; 2 
Ibs., 80c; 5 Ibs., $1.80, postpaid. 
140. BLACK MEXICAN. (88 days.) One of the largest 
and sweetest of all varieties of sweet corn. Ears 8 to 10 
inches long, Kernels white when in the eating state. The 
best second early for the home garden. Pkt., 10c; ¥% Ihb., 30c; 
Ib., 50c; 2 Ibs., 90c; 5 Ibs., $2.00, postpaid. 

Golden Sunshine. 
148. GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (76 days.) 


The most important feature of Golden Sunshine 
Corn is its extreme earliness, It is actually 5 to 
7 days earlier than Golden Bantam, This valu- 
able variety was developed and introduced by 
Dr. Yeager while at the North Dakota Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station. It has a rich, golden 
color; the ears are about one inch longer than 
the ears of Golden Bantam and usually have 12 
rows instead of 8, while the quality practically 
equals that of the famous Bantam. Pkt., 10c; 
1%, Vb., 25c; Ib., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 Ibs., $1.70, 
postpaid.

144. WISCONSIN GOLDEN 804. (76 
days.) While we consider the Wisconsin Golden 
800, an eight rowed corn, the best for home 
gardens and freezing, many gardeners, truck 
gardeners, and canners prefer a 10 to 12 rowed 
corn. In quality and earliness it is practically 
the same as the 800. It has a long, slender, 10 
to 12 row yellow ear. A medium early hybrid of 
excellent quality recommended for canning and 
truck gardeners. It is at least 5 days ahead of 
Golden Cross Bantam, and will nearly equal it 
in yield with superior quality, Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts.,

Golden Cross Bantam Hybrid. 
*141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HY- 
BRID. (84 days.) A cross of two inbred Ban- 
tams. It is midseason about four days later than 
regular Bantam, Stalks average about 6 feet in 
height and very sturdy. Two ears are usually 
produced on each stalk averaging 8 inches in 
length. It will yield about 50 per cent more than 
regular Bantam and is resistant to Stewart’s 
Disease. Hybrid corns are remarkable for their 
uniformity of stalk, ears, and time of ripening. 
For the home gardens it should be planted at 
intervals, otherwise it will all ripen at one time. 
Quality is excellent. Pkt., 10c; Y%, Ib., 35c; Ib.,

Golden Bantam, 
*142. GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) 
Most popular variety in the United States, Every- 
one likes Golden Bantam. Indeed, many people 
will not take any other when it is obtainable. 
The flavor is deliciously distinct, superior to that 
of any other open pollinated corn. The small 
8-rowed ears, usually less than six inches in 
length and several on a stalk, are perhaps higher 
in sugar content than any other corn but the 
hybrids. The kernels are tender, very wide and 
of good depth, while the cob is small and the 
flavor delicious. Pkt., 10c; % 1b., 25c; Ib., 40c;

ALL SEASON HYBRID SWEET CORN COLLECTION 
149C. Unquestionably the hybrids are the 
finest sweet corns on the market today, but 
they all ripen over a period of a few days’ 
time, To extend the sweet corn season in the 
home garden we have made up a collection of 
hybrids that will reach the picking stage over 
a 65 to 85 day period. Plant all at one time 
and have delicious sweet corn for 3 weeks. 
This collection consists of the following 
varieties: Priscilla, 64 day hybrid; Gold 
Rush, 69 day hybrid; Wisconsin Golden 800, 
75 day hybrid; and Golden Oross Bantam hy- 
brid, 85 days. Collection of one packet of 
each, 45c; 4% lb. of each, $1.50; 1 Ib. of 
each, $2.75, postpaid. d 
*147. STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. (96 
days.) The best known and most largely planted 
of all late white varieties. It makes the largest 
ear and the most fodder of any sweet corn we 
list, and the corn is tender, sweet, and of ex- 
cellent flavor. Its popularity is also due to the 
fact that it remains long in the milk before ripen- 
ing up, thereby lengthening ‘its season for table 
use, hence the name, Evergreen. Pkt., 10c; %
