NEW HYBRID VARIETIES 



Exceptionally Vigorous and Resistant to Stewart's Disease. 



Hybrid Sweet Corn deserves a high place among present day varieties of Sweet Corn. However, 

 due to the large number of Hybrid varieties now 7 being offered, it has become increasingly difficult for 

 the market grower to select the varieties best adapted to his particular requirements. 



We have for several years made comparative trials of numerous strains of these new Hybrids. On 

 a basis of uniformity, vigor of plant and heavy yield, we have chosen Marcross (1st early), Early Ban- 

 cross (2nd early), and Golden Cross Bantam (3rd early) as outstanding varieties. (See below for full 

 descriptions). 



SPECIAL NOTE: Seed of Hybrid Sweet Corn must be produced each year by crossing. Seed 

 saved from a market crop of any hybrid variety will not produce satisfactory results when planted. 



MARCROSS This is the result of crossing Golden Early Market with Purdue 39. Plant 



possesses much more vigor and yet has retained to a large degree the earliness of its Golden Early 

 Market parent. Ears 7 to 8 inches long with 8 to 14 rows of kernels, which are pale yellow in color, 

 and of good quality. A very desirable variety for an extra early yellow. Matures in approximately 

 75 days. (See engraving.) 



Price, lb. 55c, 12 Ibs. $5.00. (Bush.) 45 Ibs. $16.00. 



EAR LY BANCROSS This variety is produced by crossing Golden Bantam with Purdue 39, 

 with the result that the plant is very vigorous and much more productive than Golden Bantam. 

 The ears have retained the high quality for which Golden Bantam is so well known. Ears 7 to 8 

 inches long, well filled to the tip with 10 to 14 rows of kernels, of a deep yellow color, and excellent 

 quality. Matures in approximately 80 days. 



Price, lb. 55c, 12 Ibs. $5.00. Bush. 45 Ibs. $16.00.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM Probably the best known of any Hybrid variety, and is pro- 

 duced by crossing two resistant strains of Bantam developed by the Purdue Experimental Station. 

 Plant exceptionally vigorous, each stalk producing at least two large, well developed ears 8 to 9 

 inches long, well filled to the tip with 10 to 14 rows of kernels. A very desirable variety where 

 exceptionally large yields are desired. Matures in approximately 85 days. (See engraving.) 



Price, lb. 50c, 12 Ibs. $4.75. Bush.) 45 Ibs. $15.00.
