Golden Cross 
Bantam 
New Hybrid Sweet 
Corn 
Developed by Glenn M. Smith, of Purdue 
University, and introduced by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture and the Purdue Experiment 
Station. This corn is outstanding because of 
Its resistance to Stewarts disease or bacterial 
wilt and because of this factor can be planted 
exceptionally early and you can be certain of 
a good crop. It is extremely prolific and 
produces high quality Sweet Corn for either 
roasting ears or canning purposes. Many of 
the large commercial canning companies are 
already using this new variety with wonderful 
success. 
No garden whether for home or commercial 
use is complete without Golden Cross Bantam. 
The ears are larger than Golden Bantam 
and have 10 to 14 rows. The kernels are of 
medium width and depth. The color is not 
quite as deep yellow as Golden Bantam and 
it is four to eight days later. Since however 
it can be planted earlier it is one of the very 
first to be on the market and the earliest 
Sweet Corn always demands the highest 
price. We have grown it on our farms 
and we are recommending it to you very 
highly. We know of no other variety 
which combines so many good qualities, 
has as delicious a flavor and yields so 
heavily as Golden Cross Bantam. Ask 
your County Agent or your university 
about this wonderful new Sweet Corn 
and we know you will give it a trial. 
Price, per pound, postpaid, 50c; per 
pound express, not prepaid, 45c; 5- 
ound lots or over, 40c per pound.
