Beckert s Golden Evergreen Corn natural size) CORN IN PACKETS MAILED AT CATALOGUE PRICES Beckert''s Golden Evergreen Sugar Corn is now sold by the pound instead of by the quart. One pound equals IV2 quarts It is a cross of Golden Bantam and White Evergreen, and combines the deliciously sweet flavor of Golden Bantam and the ever- green habit of White Evergreen. It is ready for the table about five days after Golden Bantam, but the ears are much longer, being intermediate in size between those of its parents. The stalks are strong, about 6 feet high, and generally produce two good ears, 8 to 10 inches long, of deep sugary grains. Usually 12-rowed, but at times 14-rowed. It is a true Evergreen; the ears remain green and edible for more than two weeks from any planting and remain in the roasting-ear stage for more than a month from late plantings. The habit has been so well fixed by eight years' careful selection that only from early plantings will seed become suffi- ciently matured before frost. The husk on the ears is abundant to protect the ears from corn-worm and smut, and this variety has never been affected by either. It combines all good qualities of an early, midseason, and late variety. Hardy in the seed, it may be planted early; having a strong root-system, it is drought-resistant to a large extent. If planted about July 4, the best roasting ears of the season may be gathered from the middle of September until killing frost late in October. Produces just the right-sized ears from any planting for eat- ing off the cob. It is particularly well adapted for market-gardeners who have a discriminating trade. It has always sold at a premium and there has never been enough to supply the demand. (See
