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 several hybrids of different Maturities. By 
planting this mixture you will have the finest quality sweet 
corn throughout the sweet corn season. Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib., 30¢; 
Ib., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00; 5 lbs,, $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 7-inch 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. Widely used by canners for cream style corn. Pkt., 
10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 Ibs., 80c; 5 Ibs., $1.80, postpaid. 
138. HOWLING MOB. (85 days). When 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 7 to 8 inches long, with twelve 
to sixteen rows. Pkt., 10c; Y Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 2 Ibs., 80c; 
5 Ibs., $1.80, postpaid, 
140. BLACK MEXICAN. (88 days.) One of the largest 
and sweetest of all yarieties of sweet corn. Ears 8 inches long 
with 8 rows. Kernels bluish-white when in the eating state, 
The best second early for the home garden, Pkt., 10c; % Ih,

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;

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 
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., 15¢; 2 pkts., 
25c; % lb., 45c; Ib., 80c; 2 Ibs., $1.50; 5 Ibs.,

height and very sturdy. Two ears are usually 
produced on each stalk averaging 8 inches in 
length and 12 to 14 rows. It will yield about 50 
per cent more than regular Bantam and is re- 
sistant 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.,

Most popular variety in the United States, Every-

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 7 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

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 Cross Bantam hy- 
brid, 85 days. Collection of one packet of 
each, 45c; 14% lb. of each, $1.50; 1 Ib. of 
each, $2.75, postpaid. 
*147. STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. (96 
days.) The 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 excellent flavor. Hars are 
8 inches long with 14 to 18 rows. Its popularity 
is also due to the fact that it remains long in the 
milk before ripening up, thereby lengthening its 
season for table use. Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib., 25c; Ib.,
