“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS.

HYBRID CROSSED CORN 
Whipcross — A Whipple Top Cross (Purdue No. 39 x Whipples Yellow) 
Vigorous, sturdy plants, a good sound ear on every stalk, no weak or spindling plants, few nubbins 
or moldy ears, high resistance to Stewart’s Disease, and an ability to ripen the entire field at nearly the same 
time. These are some of the outstanding characteristics of crossed corn. The combination of all these 
desirable features enable this new kind of corn to outyield the old standard varieties by from 25 to 75 per 
cent. 
Crossing these varieties of corn is a laborious, hand-process and is necessarily an expensive proposition. 
The price is therefore much higher than for ordinary corn but the infinite merits of the new sorts make them 
decidedly worth while for the market gardener or canner. 
Most of the crosses we offer were originally effected by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment 
Station, the work of whose Doctors Jones and Singleton has been outstanding in their experimentation 
with the desirable selections. It is our firm conviction that, with the passage of time, when more desirable 
crosses have been discovered and increased use has brought down the cost of production, the open-polli¬ 
nated varieties will gradually be eliminated. 
TENDERGOLD 
(Golden Sunshine x Purdue No. 39) 
Ten to fourteen rows of the Golden Bantam type 
and of the highest quality. It yields more than 
either of its parents and matures about the same 
time as Golden Bantam.

10 Lbs. (per Lb.) 65^; 100 Lbs. (per Lb.) 55^. 
WHIPCROSS P39 
(Whipple’s Yellow x Purdue No. 39) 
Twelve to sixteen rows of the Whipple’s Yellow 
type maturing at about the same time as the 
Whipple’s but characterized by an immense increase 
in size and vigor over even that large eared variety. 
Pkts. 15j*f; Yz Lb. 40jzf; 1 Lb. 75f£; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 
10 Lbs. (per Lb.) 60^; 100 Lbs. (per Lb.) 50<L

Gold. Desirable for an early market Corn.

WHIPCROSS C12 
(Whipple’s Yellow x Whipple Inbred No. 12) 
Another Top Cross of Whipple’s Yellow by a 
Whipple Inbred which has somewhat earlier habits 
than Whipcross (P39) but will not produce quite 
as large an ear. 
Pkts. 15<6; M Lb. 40^; 1 Lb. 754; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 
10 Lbs. (per Lb.) 604; 100 Lbs. (per Lb.) 504.
