Standard Yellow Sweet Corh” 
Barpee’s Golden Bantam 
How to Grow Sweet Corn 
Plant seed after all danger of 
frost has passed and the soil has 
become thoroughly warm, in rows 
2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the 
seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in the row; 
cover with 1 in. of soil and later 
thin to stand 8 to 12 in. apart. 
Some prefer to sow 4 seeds in 
groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. be- 
tween the seeds and spacing the 
groups 2 to 3 ft. apart in the row; 
allow 2 or 3 plants to remain in 
a group. Corn should be planted 
in blocks of at least 4 rows side by 
side rather than in a single long 
row, to insure pollination and the 
development of a full set of ker- 
nels. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, 
each about 25 ft. in length; 1 lb. 
will plant 300 groups or “hills.””

6205 Burpee’s Golden Bantam © — Known to all 
80 days. Introduced by Burpee in 1902 and deservedly America’s favorite 
sweet corn. The plants are 5 to 6% ft. tall and the ears are slender, 5% to 
6% in. long, with 8 and only 8 rows of even, broad, moderately deep, golden 
kernels of the most delicious flavor. If you want a larger ear, if you want an 
earlier corn, a more productive one, we have varieties for your needs, but 
if you want the best and sweetest for your table, it’s true 8-rowed Golden 
Bantam. It is the first real sweet corn demanded in market, and the most 
popular with the home gardener; highly prized for quick freezing on the cob.
