Breck's Mondamin Corn
This is a variety particularly adapted to New England conditions, since it will ripen in an average season within 100 days after planting. Although we have offered Breck's Mondamin Corn for some ten years, the demand for seed far exceeds the supply. It is an eight-rowed yellow flint corn. The kernels are large, and the ears, many of which reach a length of 15 inches, are filled to the very tips. The stalks are firm and solid, averaging about nine feet in height. It has been definitely established that this corn, which produces 18 to 20 tons of fodder per acre, yields greater food value than some of the mammoth dent varieties which produce 25 to 28 tons per acre. This greater concentration of nutriment is an important factor in maintaining the efficiency of the silo. Our stock has been grown from selected ears, in Massachusetts, about thirty miles north of Boston. Qt., 25c; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00

Breck's Selected Massachusetts Grown Golden Bantam
The most popular variety of yellow sweet corn ever offered; also one of the earliest and hardiest. It can be planted safely earlier than other varieties. The plants rarely grow over 3 ½ feet in height, and usually bear at least two ears, 5 or 6 inches long, on each stalk. Many people assert that Golden Bantam is the sweetest of all corns; its plump, rich, cream-yellow kernels are tender, milky and delicious. All our Golden Bantam seed is Northern grown, making it especially valuable for growth in sections where the summers are cool and short. lb., 30c; 2 lb., 50c; 12 lb., $2.75.

De Lue's Golden Giant Sweet Corn
Golden Giant is the most desirable sweet corn on the market today. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It is the result of eleven years' selection by Dr. F.S. De Lue, Boston, Mass., from the product of Howling mob crossed with Golden Bantam. Golden Giant, with its 12 to 16 rowed ears and deep golden yellow kernels, gives nearly four times the yield per acre than the Golden Bantam with its smaller 8 rowed ears. The stalks of the Golden Giant are short, sturdy, and frequently produce 2 ears. Repeated tests have demonstrated that from 48 to 54 ears in the husk fill a bushel box. A most favorable consideration for the market gardener over and above the fact that the corn under favorable conditions will mature fully as early as the Golden Bantam, and in many sections of Massachusetts it has proven earlier than the Golden Bantam. The unfavorable seasons of 1918 and 1919 have cut down very materially our supply of seed, but we have secured by good fortune from the same grower as supplied us last year, a most carefully selected lot of Golden Giant which is in prime condition, true to type, well matured, and of high germination. 1 oz pkt., 25c; ¼ lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, postpaid.

Red Cob Golden Bantam Corn
A true descendant of the Golden Bantam. It was discovered several years ago by Mr. Briggs of Newton, Mass., and on account of its extreme sweetness and tenderness was given the opportunity of proving its worth. The dry seed is of crimson hue but when in the green state if placed side by side with the Golden Bantam, could not be told from it, except that the ears and kernels average somewhat larger. Aside from its sweetness and tenderness, another point in its favor is that the kernels have practically no hulls. The cob is of a decided crimson color and the foliage is streaked with red. Matures at the same time as its parent stock. Pkt., 15c; postpaid; lb., 30c; 12 lb., $3.00

Our grower reports that this year's stock was ready for the market 10 days in advance of the original Stowell's Evergreen. It is not uncommon for the ears to have from 18 to 20 rows. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 lb., 50c; 12 lb., $2.75.
