369 Whipple’s 
Early White 
A grand early white corn. The 
ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather 
narrow kernels and are of very fine 
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long 
and large around. They look like well 
bred Evergreen yet they mature two 
to three weeks earlier. Market gar- 
deners find that the size, high yield 
(there are often two good ears on 
a stalk) and earliness make this a 
very profitable kind to grow for mar- 
kets where a white corn is wanted.

| 350 Golden Sunshine 
Ready in 68 days. A quite new, 
remarkably fine, extra early va- 
riety originated through selective 
breeding by Professor A. F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and stays in table quality 
for a greater length of time. The 
ear is about one inch longer and 
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8, The 
kernels are sweeter, more tender 
and a lighter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its earlier maturity, 
longer season and superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban- 
tam and is displacing the latter in 
many markets. Pkt., 15 cts.; 1% Ib., 
35 cts.; Ib., 60. cts 2 Ibs) $1.10) 
5 Ibs., $2.35, postpaid. * 
An outstanding, lus- 
vious, early strain of 
sweet corn. An excep- 
tional variety for mar- 
Ket gardeners as_ the 
name implies. The ker- 
nels are silvery-white 
and extremely sweet. It 
remains in table quality 
for a considerable pe- 
riod, which makes it 
particularly profitable. 
In this variety I con- 
sider we have one of the 
best varieties of sweet 
corn offered. Ready for 
table in 65 days. Pkt.,

363 Early Evergreen 
A selected strain of Stowell’s 
Evergreen bred for earliness. It 
will produce edible ears a week 
to ten days earlier ‘than the 
Stowell’s Evergreen. For this 
reason it is a valuable market 
sort providing a succession to 
the second early types. In other 
respects its qualities are prac- 
tically identical with Stowell’s 
ears 71%

nels, remaining in table con
