GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES 

 OF KNOWN ADAPTABILITY 



The increased cost is only about $2.00 more per 

 acre, but the yield is increased 25% or more. All 

 of the larger canning companies are now planting 

 Hybrid Corn because of the certainty of a better 

 yield and much better quality. It is important, 

 however, to plant only seed grown by an expert 

 hybridist as hybrid corn is not necessarily all 

 desirable. The process is expensive, highly tech- 

 nical and requires the skill of a plant breeder. Buy 

 hybridized corn; it has been grown by experts and 

 has proven profitable for this section. 



Please Note — It is useless to try to save seed 

 from hybrid varieties of corn. They must be newly 

 developed each year. 



Lincoln Hybrid 



(83 days) All America winner 

 for 1942 — ears 7^4 in. 12 to 16 

 rows, color bright yellow; stalks 6 ft. 



Golden Cross Bantam (Hybrid) ^p^'oduces 



beautiful 8-inch ears having 10 to 14 rows of golden yel- 

 low kernels. It is resistant to wilt or Stewart's disease 

 and is now the standard strain grown for the largest 

 canners. As the crop matures very uniformly it should 

 be planted at intervals of a week or ten days to assure a 

 continuous supply. 



(87 days) Outstanding yellow 

 hybrid developed by the Iowa Ex- 

 periment Station, a few days later than Golden Cross. 

 Ears about 8 inches long, 12 to 14 rowed, cylindrical, well 

 fitted with medium narrow, light yellow kernels. Excel- 

 lent canning and market garden variety. Very productive. 



(95 days) There 

 are many Hy- 

 brids of the Stowell's Evergreen Variety but we have 

 selected for you the most desirable and profitable hybrid 

 based on Maryland Experiment Station tests, our own 

 trials and reports of large growers. If you grow White 

 Sugar Corn, be sure to plant Hybrid Stowell's. The ears 

 are large, well filled, of beautiful appearance and excel- 

 lent quality.

TABI.I: VARIETIES 



1 quart to 20O hills ; 1 peck per acre 



Sugar Corn should not be planted until May, or when 

 the ground is warm. For succession, plant about every 

 two weeks until the last of July. All varieties may be 

 either sown one inch deep in rows three to four feet 

 apart, the seeds being placed about 8 inches apart in the 

 rows, or they may be planted in hills at distances of three 

 or four feet apart each way, allowing not more than 3 

 plants to a hill. The size of the variety and the richness 

 of the soil should determine the distance of planting. 

 Hybrid corn because of its deeper rooting character may 

 be planted closer than open pollinated varieties. Cultivate 

 frequently but shallow until the tassels appear. 



(65 days) The best most salable 

 early market corn we have ever 

 known. It can be planted extremely early without danger 

 of rotting, wliich makes it possible to produce marketable 

 ears at least five weeks ahead of Stowell's Evergreen. 

 Resembles sugar corn, an excellent shipper, and a money 

 maker.

 7 to 8% inches in length, with 12 or more rows to the 

 ear. Grains are narrow and deep, of good table quality. 



(83 days) This new variety is of 

 remarkable size considering its 

 earliness. The ears are 8 inches long and have 14 to 18 

 rows of rather narrow deep grains. The quality is excel- 

 lent and the attractive appearance of the rich, tender, 

 well-fitted ears make it a very desirable sort for the 

 Market Gardener.

 days in advance of Stowell's 

 Evergreen, and Is equally as good in quality. Ears 6% 

 to 8% in- Kernels sweet and tender; cob small, with

 and sugary, very productive and remains for a long time 

 in fit condition for table use. 



(95 days) Very deep 

 grains, small cob and 

 exceedingly rich fiavor. Often produces 3 to 4 6% to 8 in. 

 ears to the stalk. The grains are "staggered" on the cob, 

 leaving no signs of rows.

 of the popular Stowell's Ever- 

 green. Ears 7% to 9% in. Well filled from butt to tip 

 with long, slender, pure white grains.
