OUR HYBRIDS YIELD 25% TO OVER 100% MORE THAN THE OPEN POLLINATED 
Hybrid Suieet Corns 
YELLOW 
TOP CROSSED SPANISH GOLD (Spancross P 39), a hybrid 
from controlled cross pollination of a Golden Bantam inbred and a 
selected strain of Spanish Gold. Usually 72 to 74 days here. Almost 
as early as Spanish Gold, 6 to 8 days earlier than Golden Bantam and 
10 to 14 days earlier than Golden Cross. Much more vigorous and 
much better yielder than Golden Bantam or any other earlier yellow 
sweet corn. Ears are larger than Golden Bantam, mostly 12 rowed. 
Stalks 6' to 6 V 2 '. Very wilt resistant. Appearance and quality sim¬ 
ilar to Golden Cross and not at all like Spanish Gold. In brief, almost 
as good as Golden Cross, which is generally considered the finest 
yellow sweet corn available, but much earlier and sure to sell at 
higher prices. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 25c; V 2 lb. 40c; 1 lb. 70c; 
2 to 19 lbs. 65c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 60c; 100 lbs. or 
more 55c per lb. Butt kernel grade 5c less per lb. tip kernel grade 
10c less per lb. 
WHIPCROSS C 7. 2 A hybrid from controlled cross pollination 
of two inbred strains of Whipple’s Yellow developed by Dr. D. F. 
Jones of the New Haven, Conn., Station. It is one of the best out of 
hundreds of combinations of many inbreds. Ripens about 78 days or 
8 days earlier than Golden Cross. Ears large, 12 to 16 rowed, well 
filled, very uniform in type and ripening. Yields usually 50% to 
100% better than open pollinated strains of the same maturity. 
Quality good. Stalks 614'. Almost immune to wilt. Post-paid 600 
miles, A lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 1 lb. 70c; 2 to 19 lbs. 65c per lb. Freight 
collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 60c; 100 lbs. or more 55c per lb. Butt kernel 
grade 5c less per lb.; tip kernel grade 10c less per lb. 
TOP CROSSED WHIPPLE (WHIPCROSS P 39), a hybrid from 
controlled cross pollination of a Golden Bantam inbred and a selected 
strain of Whipple’s Early Yellow. Usually 78 to 80 days here, 6 to 
8 days earlier than Golden Cross. Usually yields 50% to 100% bet¬ 
ter than Whipple’s and about equals Golden Cross in weight if not 
quite in dozens of ears. Ears are larger than Golden Cross, 12 to 16 
rowed and 8" to 9" long. Ideal for markets where size counts most. 
Appearance fine. Quality good but not quite equal to Bantam or Gol¬ 
den Cross. Uniformity of ear type and ripening much better than 
Whipple’s. Stalks 6 V 2 ' to 7'. This is a better corn than regular 
Whipple’s Yellow, almost as good as Golden Cross and usually about 
a week earlier. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 20c; V 2 lb. 35c; 1 lb. 60c; 
2 to 19 lbs. 55c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 50c; 100 lbs. or 
more 45c per lb. Butt kernel grade 5c less per lb.; tip kernel grade 
10c less per lb. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM, a hybrid from controlled cross poll¬ 
ination of two inbred strains of Golden Cross developed by Dr. G. 
M. Smith, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Usually 86 days 
here, 6 days later than regular Bantam. Combines Bantam qualities 
with nearly 100% wilt resistance, wonderful vigor and uniformity and 
usually 50% to over 100% better yields, sometimes actually 300% 
better, than regular Bantam. The ears are well filled, large, 714" to 
814 ", mostly 12 rowed, beautiful color, very tender and sweet, and a 
high proportion is marketable. 
Golden Cross is so prolific, so attractive and so uniformly good, 
it makes friends wherever it is tried. There is no finer corn for the 
table or for canning. Successive plantings at short intervals up to 
July 1 or later, are recommended. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 20c; V 2 
lb. 35c; 1 lb. 60c; 2 to 19 lbs. 55c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 
50c; 100 lbs. or more 45c per lb. Tip kernel grade 10c less per lb. 
WHITE 
REDGREEN, a hybrid from controlled cross pollination of a Sto- 
wells Evergreen inbred and another inbred. The hybrid is of the 
Evergreen type. Usually 92 days here. Susceptible to wilt, but us¬ 
ually escaping it unless planted early or where wilt conditions are 
especially bad. Ears white, 8" to 9", 12 to 14 rowed, stalks 7' to 9'. 
Very prolific yielder. Wonderfully tender and sweet. Attractive and 
distinctive red and green husk coloring, a sales help on roadside 
stands. Holds quality well. We recommend a limited area for late 
harvest where wilt has not been serious. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 
20c; V 2 lb. 35c; 1 lb. 60c; 2 to 19 lbs. 55c per lb. Freight collect, 20 
to 99 lbs, 50c; 100 lbs. or more 45c per lb. 
BUTT AND TIP KERNEL GRADES 
The Butt Kernel Grades offered in some varieties above, consist of 
the round and angular kernels from the butt ends of the ears and the 
Tip Kernel Grades consist of small kernels from the tips of the ears. 
Both are recleaned and sized. They will yield as well as the standard 
grade. The tip grade requires care in planting to avoid planting too 
thickly and covering too deeply. 
DO NOT PLANT TOO THICKLY 
Most of the hybrid seed is smaller than Golden Bantam and the 
rates of planting should be decreased accordingly. While the hybrids 
are extra vigorous, they must have at least normal spacing to do their 
best. If your stand is too thick, be sure to thin it. 
HYBRIDS GOOD ONLY FOR FIRST CROP 
The amazingly better results from hybrid seed are secured only in 
the first crop. Later crops are less vigorous, more variable and 
quickly drop back to the level of their parent strains. It is necessary 
therefore, in order to get maximum results, to use each year seed 
that was produced by controlled cross pollination. 
HYBRID SEEDS PAY BETTER 
Even at 40c per lb. higher cost for hybrid seed, it pays very well 
to use it. In the first place 7 to 8 lbs. of most of our hybrid seeds 
will plant as far as 10 lbs. of open pollinated seed because it is 
smaller. Then suppose the difference in seed cost is $3.00 per acre. 
At 15c per dozen only 240 ears of corn would be required to offset it. 
But in test after test, these hybrids have yielded 3000 to 6000 ears 
more per acre than open pollinated strains ripening as early. 
Open Pollinated Sweet Corns 
YELLOW 
The following are selected strains of open pollinated varieties 
which we use in producing hybrids and of which we have some sur¬ 
plus. They are excellent strains and the seed is good, but we suggest 
that you use them only as substitutes when the hybrids are not avail¬ 
able. We know the hybrids will yield much better and prove more 
satisfactory in every way. 
GOLDEN GEM Usually 66 days here. Very susceptible to wilt, 
small ears but very sweet and tender, light yellow, fair yielder, very 
short stalks. Recommended only for home gardens in sections free 
from wilt disease. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 15c; V 2 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 
30c; 2 to 19 lbs. 25c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 22c; 100 lbs. 
or more 20c per lb. 
SPANISH GOLD Usually 68 to 70 days here. Susceptible to 
wilt but less so than other early yellow sweet corns. Ears 6", 8 to 12 
rowed, deep rich yellow, only fair quality and uniformity, but very 
good yielder, medium stalks. Recommended for not over 10% of 
planting and only where wilt has not been prevalent. Post-paid 600 
miles, 14 lb. 15c; V 2 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 to 19 lbs. 25c per lb. Freight

WHIPPLE’S EARLY YELLOW Usually 78 to 80 days here. 
Susceptible to wilt. Ears 8 to 9", 10 to 16 rowed, bright yellow, good 
quality, fair uniformity. Average yield about half Golden Cross. 
Stalks 6'. Recommended for markets calling for large ears, when 
hybrid seed is not available. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 15c; % lb. 
20c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 to 19 lbs. 25c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs.

Pop Corn 
Two varieties of pop corn lead all others in tenderness and tasti¬ 
ness. Both have enthusiastic backers. Since they are different, we 
offer both. 
SOUTH AMERICAN YELLOW, (also called Dynamite, Yellow 
Giant, Mushroom and other trade names). Comparatively large 
yellow kernels on 6" to 8" ears. Stalks are 6' or more. Very good 
yielder. Popping qualities are excellent. Popped kernel is very 
large, creamy yellow, good flavor, tender and relatively free from 
hulls. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 15c; V 2 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 to 19 
lbs. 25c per lb. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 22c; 100 lbs. or more 
20c per lb. 
JAPANESE HULLESS, (also called Japanese Rice, Australian 
Hulless). Pointed, somewhat rice shaped, pearly kernel, thumb 
shaped ears about 4" long, sometimes flattened at upper end. tStalks 
dwarf. Low yielder. A wonderful popper making 50% more bulk 
per pound than White Rice. Popped kernels are snow white, very 
tender and nearly hulless. Not quite so large and perhaps not quite 
so tasty as the Yellow. Post-paid 600 miles, 14 lb. 15c; V 2 lb. 20c; 
1 lb. 30c; 2 to 19 lbs. 25c. Freight collect, 20 to 99 lbs. 22c per lb. 
100 lbs. or more 20c per lb. 
THE POPPING OF POP CORN 
This subject is well discussed, and valuable information on curing 
and storing pop corn is given in Bulletin 505, issued free on request 
by N. Y. State Agriculture Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y. It 
also tells how to restore the pop to pop corn that has lost it.
