Early Bancross 39 — A New Early Crossed Com 
In our trials this year this new hybrid matured fully 
10 days earlier than Golden Cross Bantam and 2 or 3 
days earlier than Golden Bantam. It has proved to be 
resistant to Stewarts disease and is the outstanding 
early hybrid to grow in areas where wilt is bothersome. 
We grew the seed on our own farm this year by careful 
top crossing of Purdue 39 on our own selected stock 
seed of Harris’ Extra Early Bantam. 
The ears are very attractive being 1}/% to 8 in. long, 
very uniform and cylindrical with 10 to 14 rows of bright 
yellow kernels of fine quality. The plant is rugged and 
prolific and many stalks produce two good ears. 
Like all crossed corns, seed from the 1936 planting 
should not be saved for next year as it will break down.

Golden Country Gentleman — These deep kernels are sweet and tender. 
GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. No home 
garden should be without some of tins fine yellow 
corn. The ears grow like the old Country Gentleman 
but are deep yellow and larger. The kernels are very 
tender and of high sugar content. In fact, this is the 
sweetest corn we have eaten this year. 
This corn matures late, coming on after most other 
varieties, and it is a real treat to have such a high 
quality corn late in the season. The plant is husky 
and often produces two good ears. This variety is not only an excellent 
kind for the home garden, but the attractive ears are of such fine quality 
that they are sure to bring repeat orders at roadside stand and market.

tion paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $3.00; 50 Lbs. $11.00. 
Golden Giant. (85 days.) Those who want a late yellow corn with large 
ears will find this one of the best. The ears are 7 to 8 inches long with 
12 to 14 rows. They mature later than Golden Bantam so follow nicely 
after that variety. The quality is very fine, being sweet and tender.

BANTAM EVERGREEN. (90 days.) Our Northern grown seed is of 
high quality and superior to much of the seed of this variety sold. This 
variety is a cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. The 
ears are 7 to 8 in. long with 12 to 14 rows of large yellow kernels which are 
of fine quality. Matures later than Whipple’s Yellow and Golden Giant 
which are the two varieties that it most closely resembles. Bantam Ever¬ 
green is becoming increasingly popular as a high quality corn to follow 
the earlier varieties and prolong the season.

White Varieties 
GILL’S EARLY MARKET. The Earliest White Sweet Corn. (68 days.) 
Those who want large sweet corn at the earliest possible date should plant 
Gill’s Early Market. By planting this variety you can enjoy large ears of 
good sweet corn nearly a week earlier than you otherwise would. 
This corn matures earlier than any other kind, with the exception of 
Golden Gem. Many ears measure 8 inches long and have 12 to 14 rows 
of pure white kernels of very fine quality. For so early a variety it 
is better than any other early white kind we know. 
Growers who sell white corn have found this a very profitable kind. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.60 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.30; 50 Lbs. $8.00. 
WHIPPLE’S EARLY (White). (79 days.) A grand early white corn. It 
looks like Evergreen and is as early as many of the small eared early 
varieties. The ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather narrow kernels, of 
very fine quality. They are 8-9 inches long and large around, and look 
like well bred Evergreen yet they mature two to three weeks earlier. 
Market gardeners find that the size, high yield (there are often two good 
ears on a stalk) and earliness make this a profitable kind to grow for 
markets, where a white corn is wanted. Home gardeners find this an 
excellent kind for table and canning. 
We introduced this variety, and our seed grown here in the North is 
far superior in all respects to most of the seed offered. 
Pkt. 10c; Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.55 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.15; 50 Lbs. $7.50. 
MIMMS’ HYBRID. (90 days.) A great main crop white sweet corn. 
The ears are 10 to 12 inches long, have 12 to 16 rows of deep snowy white 
kernels and fill right out to the tip. This corn is of excellent quality, 
being far superior to Evergreen. 
This is a midseason variety maturing between the early and late 
varieties and is the very best kind of its season. Many stalks produce 
two big ears, and the yield is consequently very heavy. The big hand¬ 
some ears always command the highest prices. 
The seed we offer is of a very fine pedigree strain of our own growing.

paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.15; 50 Lbs. $7.50. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. Special Early Strain. (92 days.) Our 
Northern grown seed is much earlier and superior to western and southern 
grown stocks. It is of better quality and matures fully 10 days earlier 
than ordinary Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to 14 
rows of long, rather narrow kernels. Seed grown in Monroe County. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.60 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.30; 50 Lbs. $8.00. 
LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. Special Selected Stock. (98 days.) In 
order to have the very best, we grew a crop of this corn from carefully 
selected stock seed from the best strain we know. We are certain that 
the most critical growers will be well pleased with this stock. 
This corn matures about a week later than Stowell’s Evergreen and is, 
therefore, valuable to prolong the season. The ears are immense, often 
a foot long with 18 to 20 rows of tender, sweet, white kernels. A profit¬ 
able market corn and an excellent one for home use.

Country Gentleman. (96 days.) Late, very prolific, with often two 
ears on a stalk. The kernels are long and thin and placed irregularly 
on the cob. It is of high quality being very sweet and tender. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.65 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.40; 50 Lbs. $8.50. 
POP CORN 
Pop corn is raised the same as field corn. It should be allowed to get 
thoroughly ripe before cutting. It is very easily raised and often proves a 
profitable crop. 
DYNAMITE or South American Yellow. New Large Golden. This 
is the new large golden pop corn which is so much in demand. The 
kernels are big and when popped make large tender popcorn of the finest 
quality. The ears are large, having 12 to 16 rows, making the yield of 
shelled corn high. The stalk is tall and strong. Not as early as some 
varieties but our Northern grown strain matures in this climate.

tion paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.30; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $11.40. 
White Rice. The ears are 6 to 7 inches long and the kernels are pure 
white and of large size. Yields well and produces a fine quality of pop 
corn. Our strain is the true White Rice. 
Pkt. 10c; y-i Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7% Lbs. $1.95 transporta¬ 
tion paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
Japanese Hul'less or Tom Thumb. Very Early. Owing to the un¬ 
usually thin skin on the kernels, this corn when popped is very tender 
and of the finest quality being almost free from any fiber, which is so 
objectionable in the common varieties. 
The ears are short and thick. The kernels are small, nearly white, 
much the shape of White Rice and pop readily.
