NORTHRUP, 
Kingscrost Golden 
K INGSCROST Golden Bantam Seed Corn was developed primarily for mar¬ 
ket garden use, keeping uppermost in mind the qualities which have the 
greatest appeal to professional gardeners—earliness, uniformity of maturity, 
eating quality and yield. Our trial ground records for three years show Kings¬ 
crost Golden Bantam ready to pick 10 days earlier than ordinary Bantam. 
Because of its uniformity of maturity the market gardener saves in picking 
costs by being able to harvest the entire crop of a plot of Kingscrost Golden 
Bantam at one picking. The yield in dozens, per acre, of marketable ears, is 
much higher than produced by ordinary Bantam. 
The dealer finds fewer ears not sufficiently mature for selling and the 
ultimate consumer is pleased with their uniformity in size and quality. 
Crops grown from Kingscrost Golden Bantam seed have been the first 
Bantam on the Minneapolis Market for the past three years, and later, when 
ordinary Bantam was available, Kingscrost ears commanded a premium. 
Every market gardener should learn for himself, this season, the advan¬ 
tages in growing and marketing Kingscrost Golden Bantam. The cost of seed 
for a generous trial plot is only a trifle. The plot will pay for itself and demon¬ 
strate beyond a doubt that a much larger acreage of this unusually fine and 
profitable sweet corn should be planted next year. 
A Field in which Kingscrost Golden Bantam Sweet Corn Seed is being grown. Two strains 
to be crossed are planted in alternate rows. Tassels are removed from all rows of one 
strain. These detasseled plants then receive pollen from the other strains and so produce 
crossed seed.
