Stewart’s Disease-Resistant Varieties 
TRUE HYBRID SPANCROSS C2. Outstanding early hybrid, a week later than Golden 
Early Market, having a 6^-inch, dark yellow, 12- to 16-rowed ear on every 6-foot stalk. 
Nearly immune to wilt. Matures at one time. 
TOP CROSS SUNSHINE. Has one hybrid parent. Takes 60 days to tassel. The light yellow 
ears are 7 ¥% inches long and 10- to 14-rowed. 
TRUE HYBRID GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. The sturdy stalks, with broad dark green 
leaves, are unbelievably uniform—each the exact size of the others. This applies also to 
the 7}/2- to 8-inch, 10- to 14-rowed yellow ears which mature all at one time in about 88 days. 
The tightly wrapped husks resist earworms. This is 95 per cent immune to Stewart’s disease. 
TRUE HYBRID RED-LEAVED EVERGREEN. Like the above but with 8- to 8^-inch, 
12-rowed white ears and red-green foliage. Over 90 per cent immune to Stewart’s disease.

65 to 70 days 
EARLY SURPRISE. One of the earliest Sweet Corns under present production, maturing 
-3 days earlier than Early Buffalo, Early Dighton, or other Sweet 
Corns of that class. It produces 12-rowed pure white ears with white cobs on 4-foot stalks. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. This is the earliest large, golden Sweet Corn, earlier and 
.-- larger than Golden Sunshine and 2 weeks earlier than 
Golden Bantam. The large ears are tightly filled with large, sweet kernels of exceptional 
flavor. This outstanding Corn will bring the best early market prices. The stalks grow 5 to 
6 feet high and the ears, 7 to 8 inches long, are 12- to 14-rowed. 
Early Varieties R 7o d t y 0 f 8o d s a e ys in 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE. The earliest of Golden Bantam type, 
.- maturing 8 days earlier than that 
variety. More dwarf in habit than Bantam, with ears 7 inches long, 
with 12 rows of broad, yellow, sweet grains. Fine for roadstands. 
EARLY EVERGREEN. This excellent variety resembles Stowell’s 
Evergreen, but matures about 10 days earlier than that variety. 
FORBES EARLY. One of the early white sorts that have really good 
quality. Ears larger than Howling Mob and fully 14 days earlier. 
It is just as early as White Cob Cory and yields 40 per cent more. 
Fine for planting July 10 for catch-crop before frost. Grows 5 to 
6 feet in height; the ears are 12-rowed and well filled. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. The plant is only 4 to 5 feet high and it 
grows so compactly that it may find a place in the smallest garden. 
The tears, though small, are filled from butt to tip. 
WHIPPLE’S EARLY WHITE. This variety, with the deep grain of the Evergreen type, matures 
a few days after Forbes Early. The stalks are 5 to 6 feet high, of vigorous growth; the ears often 
two to the stalk, are 8 inches long, rather “blocky” in form, 16- to 18-rowed, filled to the end. 
WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. Matures a few days before Golden Bantam and grows ears 7 to 8 inches 
long and 12- to 16-rowed, with often two ears to one stalk. Whipple’s 
Golden Sunshine Sweet Corn 
Yellow grows quite tall. The eating quality is very excellent.
