Black Mexican
This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or blueish-black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For family use we consider it the most desirable second early sort. It does especially well for for second early in the South. Stalks about 6 feet high.
Country Gentleman
This is considered by most people to be the best sort of sweet corn for having corn on the cob. The kernels are small, tender and extremely long- the cob being unusually small. The flavor is delightful – it is sweet, milky and tender. Very prolific, often growing 3 ears to a stalk. Country Gentleman is a slow-maturing variety and arrives at full perfection just about the time when the early varieties are giving out. To have a generous amount of sweet corn does not require a large space. Plant some Country Gentleman this year.
Early Evergreen
This excellent sort has proven its merit as the best evergreen strain that is distinctly earlier than Stowell's. The strain we offer has to a remarkable degree all the qualities that have made Stowell's Evergreen the leading main crop sweet corn for so long a time. The ears of Early Evergreen are about 7 to 7 ½ inches long, with 14 to 20 more or less irregular rows with very deep, white grain of the very best quality. Stalks about 6 ½ to 7 feet high. A very desirable main crop variety for home garden and market, and well adapted for canning.
Early White Cory
This popular extra early variety originated in Rhode Island, and has for years headed the list of quick-maturing sorts. It is fit for use in two months after planting. It is very dwarf and may be closely planted. Produces two ears to the stalk. Is often grown in Autumn as a second crop. Ears about six inches in length, with eight rows of broad grains, very sweet and well flavored. A ready seller and always commands good prices.
Golden Bantam
(10-14 row) Well adapted for canners' use and excellent for market gardeners. It is replacing other main crop yellow varieties. Stalks sturdy, with exceptionally broad vigorous leaves. Ears 10 to 14 rowed, slightly lighter yellow than Golden Bantam. Kernels medium width and depth.
Golden Bantam
(8 row) A dwarf-growing early variety. The plant attains a height of only 3 to 4 feet, usually bearing two or more ears about 5 inches long to a stalk. These little fat ears are compactly filled with kernels which when ready for the table are cream-yellow, so lusciously sweet, tender and milky that some people claim it “the sweetest Corn on earth”. Golden Bantam is one of the hardiest corns grown, therefore can be planted earlier with safety than other varieties. This characteristic also adapts it to localities having cool summer weather, a continuous supply being maintained by successive planting.
Golden Colonel
A new and welcome companion to Country Gentleman. In fact, it is a yellow Country Gentleman, with shoe-peg shaped kernels, without rows. The ears are 7 ½ to 9 inches long, cylindrical or slightly tapering. Stalks 8 feet tall. Excellent for a late market garden sort, maturing in about 95 days.
Golden Giant
A cross between Golden Bantam and Howling Mob and is one of the few new yellow corns to retain the high quality of its golden parent. In season between Golden Bantam and Bantam Evergreen, of medium growth, with ears 8 inches long, 16 to 18 rowed.
Golden or Bantam Evergreen
Best and sweetest sugar corn. A corn of Golden Bantam quality of the right size. It is a product of Golden Bantam crossed with Stowell's Evergreen. It has retained the quality of the Bantam and has the more tender skin of the Evergreen. Market gardeners are at least able to sell a merchantable sized ear of corn superior in quality to any on the market.
Golden Sunshine
The earliest of the Golden Bantam type, maturing a week to 10 days earlier than that variety. More dwarf in habit than Bantam, with ears 6 ½ inches long, containing 12 rows of broad, yellow seed grains. Especially desirable for its extreme earliness.
Harden's Wonder Bantam
Introduced in 1919, a cross between Golden Bantam, and Early Wonder. The ears are longer than the old Golden Bantam (8 to 10 inches long) stalk from 5 to 6 feet high.
Howling Mob
This variety originated as Toledo, Ohio, and its queer but appropriate name has reference to the loud and clamorous demand for the corn when brought to market. The stalks are usually about 6 feet in height and produce early in the season two splendid ears to a stalk. The ears are 7 to 9 inches in length and are well covered with a heavy husk, affording protection from the green worms which so often are destructive to early varieties. There are 12 to 24 rows of good sized white kernels.
Long Island Beauty
(Late Mammoth) One of the very large, late white corns, maturing in about 95 days from planting. The ears are large and thick, with 14 to 16 rows of very sweet grains. This variety will satisfy where the market prefers a very large ear.
Mammoth White Cory
One of the largest and best extra early varieties. The stalks are about 4 feet high, each generally bearing two large, fine-shaped ears which become fit for use as early as those of any variety in cultivation. They are 12 rowed, very symmetrical and handsome, seldom with any opening between the rows at the base.
Minnesota Early
One of the best and most popular of the older varieties, with both market and private gardeners. The stalks are short and bear two long ears each, having 8 rows of very sweet and tender kernels, which shrink but little in drying.
Peep O' Day
A dwarf, extra early variety of remarkable excellence. Very productive and of vigorous habit. Extremely sweet.
Stowell's Evergreen
The standard main crop variety. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long time in condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best-known of all late sorts. Height, about 7 ½ feet.
Whipple's Early White
One of the Evergreen type, but ready for use only a few days later than the Golden Bantam. Ears 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to 16 rows of pearly white grains. The earliest of the deep-grained Evergreen types and has the same delicious sweetness.
Whipple's Early Yellow
A popular large eared yellow corn, having an ear nearly or quite twice as large as Golden Bantam, yet maturing at about the same time. The ears average 8 inches or more in length with 12 rows of fine sweet kernels. Matures in 70 to 75 days.
White Evergreen
This is a high-bred white type Stowell's Evergreen. It has been developed by careful work, and only the finest white-eared product being saved and selected each season. The stalks are of strong vigorous growth, 6 to 7 feet high.
