SEED GROWERS 
SWEET CORN — Continued 
ALPINE BANTAM 57 
Properly planted, this makes the earliest roasting ears available for home 
gardens. The seed is hard and durable and should be planted as soon 
as the ground is warm enough to plant peas and other early vegetables 
as it will withstand rotting, better in cold wet soil than any sweet corn we 
we have worked with. Stalks 5 feet tall, ears 6 to 7 inches well filled at 
tip and 8 to. 10 rowed. Flavor good but matures to 8tarch fast so should 
be used only as the first early variety for first planting. 
ARISTOGOLD BANTAM 83 
Another one or our winners from the All America Seed Trials and one 
which is built to stand abuse from the weather. This handsome, fast grow- 
ing, rich yellow corn yields extra long 12 to 14 rowed ears with deeper 
kernels than any other Bantam type. Stalks are 8 to 9 feet tall with dark 
green leaves and husks. The ears are uniform and symmetrical, making 
exceptional yields even under adverse conditions of drouth or heat because 
of the deep root system. It is a quality corn, more resistant to ear worm 
and smut damage and will stand earlier planting in cold, wet soil than other 
types. 
ARISTOGOLD BANTAM EVERGREEN 87 
This is the biggest yellow sweet corn which can be classed in the high 
quality group. Ears are 16 to 18 rowed, 9 to 10 inches long with clean 
stalks 8 to 9 feet tall. It has yielded as much as ten tons of snapped ears 
per acre under good conditions and is resistant to ear worm, smut and hot 
weather the same as Aristogold Bantam. But don’t let the size mis- 
lead you as this corn is strictly first class in flavor and tenderness, good 
enough that people from the fancy early yellow north country often take 
ears back with them to give their friends. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 82 
A bright yellow, 12-rowed corn with 8-inch ears borne well up on a sturdy 
stalk. The quality is fully equal to Golden Bantam in every way, matures 
six days later and is two to three times as productive. In addition, this 
corn is very resistant to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s Disease, 
which often causes failure with other early yellow sweet corns. Originally 
introduced by Glenn Smith of Purdue University and. is a very popular 
variety. 
GOLDENGRAIN 84 
Probably the most spectacular of the yellow sweet corn hybrids. Stalks 
are 8 feet tall with practically no suckers and bright, dark green leaves. 
Ears are 8 to 9 inches long with 16 to 18 rows of unusually deep kernels. 
Ears are borne strongly arched and have excellent husk covering to reduce 
. bird and worm damage. Kernels are narrow and bright gold in color. An- 
other one of our All American champion sweet corns. 
GOLDENMOST 78 
Stalks 5% to 6 feet tall. Ears 12 rowed, brilliant gold color, has Tendermost 
flavor and texture and is about a week earlier. 
GOLDEN STATE 86 
Ear—814” to 9” long, 12 to 14 rows, cylindrical, rich yellow, prolific. Plant— 
8 ft. tall, dark green, smut resistant. Newest All-America winner from 
Michael-Leonard. A fine corn for the home and market gardener in the 
South and deep South. It has a rich golden color that makes it very attrac- 
tive on the table. 
- MICHAEL-LEONARD’S HYBRID GOLDEN HUMMER 68 
Stalks 5 to 6 ft. with showy 12 rowed ears. One’ of the best early market 
and garden varieties. The big well filled ears are among the most de- 
licious of the early types. Very hardy and a reliable producer.
