Ma>s. In ihe spring of'1900 our fri'end, E. L. Coy, the veteran seed grow er of Xew \'ork, obtained for us all the seed Mr. Pickett could spare, which was less than two quarts, and wrote : " Vou now own the very sweetest and richest corn ever known, and I am ver> glad to help you to its ownership. I came across this distinct new early sweet corn two years ago, when visiting at a cousin's in Greenfield, Mass.,— it impressed me as the Siveetest and most tender corn I ever lasted. It is a deep yellow in color and very early. It is entirely different from the old Early Orange, and tnucli earlier. Planted in Massachusetts on July 15th it was in fine eating condition before frost. It can be planted thickh , and with me every stalk had from two to three perfect ears. By making successive plantings it can be had for table use from about July 2olh uiUil frost. In vour more favorable localitv it can be had both earlier and later than in this northern ; After two years' thorough trials, both at our Fordhook Farms and in Connecticut, where all our seed is grown, we can heartily endorse all that Friend Coy has said about Xh\s extreviely early a7id most delicious Golden Bantam " Sweet Corn.
