An entirely new variety developed by 
the North Dakota Experiment Station 
and the earliest yellow sweet corn on 
the market, producing ears in 67 days. 
The ear is about the same size as Sun- 
shine, but has only 8 to 10 rows. Qual- 
ity, tenderness and sweet flavor are 
unsurpassed, The plant is exceedingly 
short, but vigorous and productive and 
certain to be a great favorite. Pkt., 
17 cts.; Y% Ib., 40 cts.; Ib., 70 cts.; 2 Ibs., 
$1.30; 5 lbs., $2.75, postpaid.

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. Pr. 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., 17 cts.; Y Ib.,
