SUGAR CORN 
Multi-eared 
Maturity 95 days. The sweetest and most 
delicious corn grown. Very unusual for its 
habit of producing 3 to 6 ears per stalk. 
Photo shows a stalk which bore 8 ears, 
indicated by the numerals. Very leafy 
stalks grow 7 ft. tall. Ears grow up to 7 
inches long, having 8 to 12 rows of pure 
white kernels on a thin white cob. The 
flavor of this sugar corn is a real taste 
sensation. It requires fertile soil and be 
planted as soon as frost danger is over. 
Plant seed in rows 30 to 42 inches apart 
and about one seed to the foot in the row, 
then thinning out to about one stalk every 
two feet or more. At least two rows must 
be planted side by side to insure good pol- 
lination. Having a pronounced suckering 
habit, it is very important to pull off all 
suckers about two times during the growing 
period.

I must say a few words in commendation 
of the lovely “Peron” tomato. 
I ordered a packet of your Peron seed, 
every one came up, I believe, and I gave 
plants to all my friends that wanted them. 
Such compliments as I received should cer- 
tainly be passed on to you. 
I’m sorry I don’t have a bigger place to 
raise more lovely tomatoes such as you have 
but believe me, we would have no other.

The seed from your Peron I received last 
year were everything that could be expected 
of a tomato.

QUINCHE CORN 
Inca Strain 
Some idea of the enormous size kernels 
of the ancient Inca corn can be judged by 
the comparison in the photo. Smaller grains 
are the common hybrid type. Large plump 
kernels the Inca strain. The latter differs 
greatly also from our domestic strains, by 
the soft flaky interior, making it very palat- 
able for stock and wonderful in grinding 
for corn bread. It is known our present 
day hybrid corn does not have the food 
value, that open pollinated varieties had 
years ago. This is born out by the tremen- 
aaa r ~ dous use of mineral supplements to get 
profitable gain in livestock. Organic gardeners will welcome this corn in their gardens 
to grow and produce nutritious corn meal. Seed is listed on a preceding page.
