3 Ae ‘Standard Yellow Sweet Corn 
6205 Burpee’s Golden Bantam O ~ know» to ail 
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.

Hybrid White Sweet Corn 
Hybrid Corns, white and yellow, are of special value to market growers, canners and to 
many home gardeners because the ears from one planting mature at about the same time; 
in addition to this they are noted for their high yield and resistance to Stewart’s disease or 
bacterial wilt. If you prefer to have ears over a long period, plant two or more hybrids of 
different maturity dates. 
6212 Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid ©— Productive 
90 days. All-America Bronze Medal Winner. Ears 7% to 8% in. long, 
slightly tapered, with 14 to 18 rows of deep, medium-wide, white kernels 
which are tender and very sweet. Recommended for home or market 
garden, freezing and canning. 8 to 10 ft. tall. Differs from open pollinated 
Stowell’s Evergreen in having deeper kernels and greater uniformity of 
maturity. It also has the advantage of having more vigor and higher pro- 
ductivity. Pkt. 20¢; 141b.55¢; lb. 95¢; 2 Ibs. $1.80; 5 lbs. $4.25

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. For a continuous supply, 
sow varieties which will mature in 
succession; also make additional 
sowings when the preceding plant- 
ing is up and well started. 
Corn should be planted in 
blocks of at least 4 rows side by 
side rather than in a single long 
row. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, 
each about 25 ft. in length; 1 Ib. 
will plant 300 groups or “‘hills,’”’
