of “yellows,” blight, wilt, and Stewart’s disease.

Stewart’s Disease-

Wisconsin Hollander 
Cabbage 
Resistant Sweet Corn 
These differ from Top-Cross 
Bantam and similar hybrids 
which have only one “inbred” 
parent stock, in that the two 
offered below are produced 
from two parent stocks, both of 
which are “inbred.” They are 
for this reason much more im¬ 
mune to Stewart’s disease. The 
greater yield repays extra cost. 
True Hybrid Golden Cross Bantam. The sturdy stalks, 
with broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uniform; 
each is the exact size of the others. This uniformity applies 
also to the 7)^-to 8-inch, 10-to 14-rowed yellow ears 
which mature all at one time in about 88 days. The 
tightly wrapped husks resist earworms. This variety is 
over 95 per cent immune to Stewart’s disease. 
Evergreen. Extremely 
Hybrid Golden Cross 
Bantam Sweet Corn 
True Hybrid Red-leaved tvergreen. Rxtremely uni¬ 
form in stalk, ear, and maturity. The white, 12-rowed 
ears are 8 to 8}/& inches long, slender and cylindrical. 
The red-green foliage forms tight husks resisting ear- 
worms. Over 90 per cent immune to Stewart’s disease.
