Eighty-five super-standard strains season of Eighty-five super-standard strains season of 1927 eightyfivesupers1927fran Year: 1927 SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS STOKES GROWIXC SINCE I67S SEEDS Whipple's Early Yellow feS^S Days to maturity, 65. This comparatively new variety is already firmly established in the New England States, where it is seriously contending with Golden Bantam for popularity. There are three important reasons why Whipple's Early Yellow is becoming so popular: It is from three to five days earlier than Golden Bantam, and the ears are an inch longer, averaging 7 to 8 inches. The fact that Whipple's Yellow Corn does not pass the market stage as quickly as Golden Bantam is also greatly in its favor, and the table quality is excellent.

This complaint cannot be made against Whipple's Early Yellow. Although we do not expect that it will replace Golden Bantam, we are sure that it will make many friends among our customers and prove very profitable to them. All of our seed of Whipple's Yellow has been grown in Connecticut. Price, delivered: V4lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $; 50 lbs. $12.

It is a pleasure to be able to say that the Whipple's Yellow gave us first-rate satisfaction, and all those who used it were well pleased with it. I should say, however, that it is new to this section and should be more generally known. It was liked particularly for its earliness, large ears, and for its sweetness, being a yellow Corn.
