SWEET CORN— THE LATE YELLOW KINDS 
'DECAUSE the popular vote proves overwhelmingly 
* ' in favor of Golden Bantam flavor in sweet corn, 
American hybridizers have been busy. During the last 
ten years scores of attempts have been made to produce 
new yellow sorts of distinct merit, a few of which are 
recorded here: 
Golden Rod (see illustration) is the happy offspring of 
Golden Bantam crossed with Stow eW s Evergreen. Within 
ninety-three days from date of planting it will produce 
eight- to ten-rowed ears, six to eight inches long, of a very 
worth-while quality. 
Golden Cream affords the great combination of Golden 
Bantam blended with Country Gentleman. It requires 
ninety-five to one hundred days to bear its six-inch ears 
of the zig-zag rowed or shoe-peg type, but it will be found 
worth waiting for. 
Carpenter s Golden Sweet is the latest, but also the 
largest, of the yellow kinds. Ears are twelve-rowed, 
and average seven to nine inches long.
