De Lue's Golden Giant Sweet Corn 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.
