WETSEL’S 
SW EET CORN 
Hybrid and Standard Strains 
SWEET OR SUGAR 
Plant in well-fertilized land after it has become warm and dry in the 
spring. Two ounces of seed will plant 50 feet. If in rows, space the 
seeds 3 inches apart, with 2 feet between rows, and thin the young 
plants to 10 inches apart. Or plant six seeds to a hill, thin to three 
plants, and space the hills 2 feet apart each way. 
Hybrid Strains 
Iochief. 89 days. Latest All-America Sweet Corn Winner. See | 
inside front cover for description and prices. 
Ioana. 87 days. A new variety developed in Iowa and especially 
resistant to drought and wilt. Largely planted in the South and 
Southeast or wherever worms are likely to infest the crop. The 8- 
inch ears have 12 or 14 rows of cream-yellow kernels; an especially 
heavy husk protects the ear from birds and worms. Popular with 
canners and market gardeners, and highly recommended. 
Country Gentleman. 90 days. A fine variety with ears 614 to 7 
inches long; slender white kernels set irregularly instead of in rows. 
The seed we offer is produced from carefully bred selected strains. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. 93 days. Developed from crossing inbred 
evergreen lines. Widely grown by market gardeners and canners, 
particularly in the East. Ears 7 to 9 inches long and 16 or 18-rowed 
bear white kernels. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Wilt-resistant. An excellent producer of 8- 
inch yellow ears with 10 to 14 rows of kernels. Matures a few days 
later than Golden Bantam. 
Tendermost. 83 days. One of the newest hybrid Sweet Corns. 
Giant kernels and delightfully tender hulls. Ears large, averaging 
about 9 inches, with 14 to 16 rows. Resists smut and worms.
