Semesan Jr. dry treatment of hybrid 

 Sweet Corn helps to reduce the loss 

 of seed through rotting, which is 

 caused by the harmful fungi such 

 as Diplodia and Gibberella, which 

 are often present in the soil. Be- 

 sides preventing missing hills due 

 to this cause, it also improves 

 stands and sturdiness of the corn 

 seedlings and generally increases 

 the yield. It is safe and easy to apply, and the cost 

 per acre is negligible.

YELLOW MID-SEASON 

 VARIETIES 



CREAM-O-GOLD 



This variety was introduced by us in 1937 as XI 00 and has 

 become very popular with market growers, especially for road- 

 side stands, owing to its high quality. The plants are exception- 

 ally uniform, and as productive as most of the hybrid varieties. 

 The ears are more slender than any yellow variety in use at the 

 present time, measuring 8 to 9 inches long with 8 to 1 rows of 

 kernels that are deep yellow in color. In quality, sweetness and 

 tenderness, Cream-O-Gold is far superior to any Sweet Corn we 

 have ever seen. In season it is slightly later than Golden Cross 

 Bantam, maturing in approximately 88 days.

GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



This variety was introduced by us in 1926, and it combines all 

 the sugary sweetness and tenderness of the original Country 

 Gentleman, with the rich, sweet flavor and color of Golden 

 Bantam. The ears are practically as large (averaging 6 to 7 

 inches long) as White Country Gentleman. The kernels are 

 without row formation, and the remarkable depth of kernel 

 characterizing the white parent, is fully retained in the new 

 variety. The plants are vigorous, uniform and productive, pro- 

 ducing two well formed ears to a stalk. Matures in approxi- 

 mately 87 days |b. 12 lbs. 100 lbs.
