THE BEST SEED CORN 
Northern Grown Seed Corn 
Means Earlier Crops 
Sweet Corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil that is thoroughly worked. Plant five kernels to a hill, which should be 
about 3 feet apart each way, or plant in rows, one seed every 3 inches, covering seed with about 1 inch of soil firmly pressed down. 
Thin out to three plants to a hill. For succession, plant every two weeks up to July 15th. 
A pkt. of seed will plant about 50 hills or about 75 ft. of row. 1 lb. of seed will plant about 400 hills or 1000 ft. of row.

STANDARD VARIETIES OF SWEET CORN 
GOLDEN BANTAM. A favorite with all who 
have grown it. The most famous Sweet Corn in 
the world today. It is the richest and sweetest 
of all varieties of Sweet Corn. Golden Bantam 
is dwarf, the stalks are usually 5 to 6 feet high, 
and the foliage is short, allowing it to stand 
closer together in the small garden and thus pro- 
duce a large crop on a small area. We recom- 
mend planting Golden Bantam every 10 days 
during the planting season and you will be 
assured of a continuous supply of the best Sweet 
Corn. Pkt., 25c; Ib., 60c; 
2 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs. or over, 55c per Ib. 
GOLDEN GIANT. This is a cross between 
Golden Bantam and Howling Mob. Winner of 
the silver award for novelty excellence at Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Show. Gives four times 
the yield per acre and twice the size of Bantam. 
Rich in color. Pkt., 25c; Ib., 60c; 
2 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs. or over, 55c per Ib.

GOLDEN SUNSHINE. The value of this va- 
riety lies in the fact that it matures several days 
in advance of the well known Golden Bantam. 
The ears are very compact, about the same size 
of Golden Bantam, but more refined in appear- 
ance, having from 10 to 12 rows of grain. It is 
a very rapid grower. Pkt., 25c; Ib., 60c; 
2 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs. or over, 55c per Ib. 
BANTAM EVERGREEN. (Yellow.) A yellow

Bantam and a week earlier than the Stowell’s 
Evergreen white. It has an ear 3 times the size 
of Golden Bantam and runs 12, 14 and 16 rows 
to the ear. The stalk is about 6 feet tall and is 
perhaps 1 foot shorter than Stowell’s Evergreen 
and 2 feet taller than Golden Bantam. The 
Bantam Evergreen has the tender and sweet 
qualities of the Golden Bantam and combines 
the quality of the Golden Bantam with the 
productiveness of Stowell’s Evergreen. As a table 
variety it is unexcelled. Pkt., 25c; Ib., 60c; 
2 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs. or over, 55c per Ib.

Black Mexican

the Golden Bantam, the sweetest of all. Ears of

Open Pollinated White 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. The best known

ence to any other sort. Yields large ears and 
long, deep kernels, with rich sugary flavor and 
long keeping qualities. It is the standard late 
sort. Pkt., 25c; Ib., 60c;
