Corn, Golden Cross Bantam 
SWEET CORN 
Postpaid within the U. S. A. 
One packet will plant 50 to 75 ft. of row; 1 lb. 
approximately 600 ft. of row; about 10 lbs. per

your own and to get the full enjoyment of its 
delectable flavor, corn should be cooked and 
served as soon as possible after picking.
