SWEET CORN 
^Golden Cross Bantam Hybrid: fio ker¬ 
nels per oz. 
Golden Cross Bantam is a controlled cross of pure bred strains 
and for the first year after the cross is made a very strong growing 
heavy yielding sweet corn of the highest quality is produced. As 
this vigor is only maintained one year after the cross is made it is 
necessary for the grower to purchase new seed every year. As Gold¬ 
en Cross Corn requires special care, we limit our production to what 
we can personally supervise on our own farms. 
Golden Cross Bantam was originated by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture and we were among the first to obtain stock 
seed. We feel that Golden Cross is the most desirable yellow sweet 
corn that has been developed. 
Golden Cross is one of the most disease resistant varieties that we 
have tested and has produced excellent crops in sections where 
Bacterial Wilt has been the worst. 
The stalks are very vigorous usually producing two good sized 
marketable ears. Golden Cross produces many suckers but unlike 
most varieties, under favorable conditions, these bear marketable 
ears maturing at the same time as those on the main stalk. At the 
Connecticut Experiment Station our Golden Cross Bantam pro¬ 
duced 14,000 marketable ears per acre. 
Stalk 6 feet tall. Ears 8 inches long, 10 to 14 rows of broad 
medium yellow kernels. In tests at Geneva Experiment Station 
Golden Cross held on the stalk in edible condition longer than any 
other variety. 
Golden Cross is a second early corn. We have had reports from 
growers that it matured anywhere from two days earlier to a week 
later than Whipple's Yellow. We believe this is due to different 
strains of Whipple’s Yellow used in making the comparison. 
It has become very popular with both the canners and market 
gardeners with the exception of those supplying a market that de¬ 
mands a very large ear regardless of quality. 
The kernels of the seed parent used in making this cross are small 
so that it is very necessary that the grower shall not plant too thick. 
We recommend not over 6 lbs. to the acre. Many growers use 5 lbs. 
per acre. Pkt. $.15; }/ 2 lb. $.30; lb. $.55; 6 lbs. $3.00; 12 lbs. $5.70; 
100 lbs. $45.00. 
^Robson Extra Early Bantam: u 8 ke d rn v e i s s 
per oz. Our Early Bantam is a bantam strain, developed through 
our breeding work; very early and has a quality as good or better 
than the old Golden Bantam. Extra Early Bantam produces a 
large number of ears and matures before other yellow corns are on 
the market thus giving top prices. 
Like all true Bantams this variety is susceptible to wilt and is not 
recommended where wilt is a serious problem. Stalk 4 to 4J-2 feet.
