SUNNY-GOLD HYBRID (NEW) 



This new midseason yellow hybrid is the result of years of 

 breeding work. After developing an entirely new variety from a 

 cross of Golden Bantam and Money Maker, we crossed this new 

 variety with Purdue 51 in order to get a hybrid variety of out- 

 standing quality. The plants are very vigorous and exception- 

 ally uniform. A large percentage of the stalks produce two 

 well-developed ears. The ears are very slender, about 8V2 to 



9 inches long, with 8 to 1 rows of deep golden colored kernels. 

 The quality and sugar-like sweetness of Sunny-Gold makes this 

 new variety one of the outstanding present-day hybrids. Season 

 approximately 90 days u,, 12 lbs. 1 00 lbs.
