See Prices on Page 3. 
NOTE—Oates of ripening given below are approximate for our locality. They will 
vary with locality and with temperature and moisture supply during growing period. 
GEMCROSS P.39 68 to 70 days here, 18 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Golden Gem and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 714", light golden, very sweet and 
tender, equal to or better than Golden Cross, in quality. Type and un¬ 
iformity excellent. 
Wilt Resistance. Better than Golden Gem, but just how resis¬ 
tant not yet fully determined. 
Yields. 25% to 80% better than any early open pollinated corn. 
Remarks. This is the hybrid that will steal the show in 1936. It 
will beat all others to market, will win out at the table on quality and 
put more cash in the grower’s pocket. Every gardener should plant 
some Gemcross and if wilt has not been serious in his locality it will 
pay him to plant 10% to 15% of his sweet corn area to Gemcross. 
SPANCROSS P.39 72 days here, 14 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Inbred Spanish Gold and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 8", bright yellow, excellent quality, 
very good shape and uniformity. Resembles Golden Cross and is 
quite different from Spanish Gold. 
Wilt Resistance. Especially good. Well demonstrated. 
Yields. 75% to 100% better than Spanish Gold and within 80% 
to 90% of Golden Cross Bantam. Many plants produce two full sized 
ears and some three. Stalks 5' to 6'. 
Remarks. Spancross made money for our customers last year. 
It not only made the early markets but also sold faster and higher 
than competing corns. It made good as a second crop after peas, etc. 
It was tried and liked by canners to precede Golden Cross. 
WHIPCROSS C6.2 74 days here, 12 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow Inbreds, Conn. 6 and 2. 
Ears. 12 to 16 rowed, 7" to 8", light golden, excellent table 
quality, very good type and uniformity. 
Wilt Resistance. Excellent. Produces well under wilt conditions 
that would ruin Whipple’s Yellow, which is very susceptible. 
Yields. 25% to 100% better than Whipple’s Yellow. Stalks 6'. 
Remarks. Earlier and better every way than Whipple’s Yellow. 
SUNCROSS P.39 76 days here, 10 days earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Golden Sunshine and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 8", light golden, larger and more 
uniform than Golden Sunshine. 
Wilt Resistance. Good. Usually 70% to 80% healthy when wilt 
is bad enough to make Golden Sunshine a loss. 
Yields. 25% to 40% better than Sunshine. Stalks about 6'. 
Remarks. This hybrid is much more profitable than any of the 
old favorites ripening about the same time. 
WHIPCROSS P.39 80 days here. 6 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. 12 to 16 rowed, 7-14" to 8-14", beautiful golden, larger, 
better type and much more uniform than Whipple’s Yellow. 
Wilt Resistance. Excellent, 90% healthy under bad conditions. 
Yields. 25% to 60% better than Whipple’s Yellow, and 50% to 
100% better than Golden Bantam. Stalks 6' to 7'. 
Remarks. Enough said. 
BANCROSS P.39 84 days here, 2 days earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Golden Bantam and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. 12 rowed, 714" to 814", true Bantam color and Bantam 
sweetness, more attractive because of larger ears, smaller kernels and 
uniformity. 
Wilt Resistance. Very good, 80% to 90% healthy plants under 
wilt conditions where Golden Bantam would have only 50% or less. 
Yields. 50% to 80% better than Golden Bantam. Stalks 6' to 7'. 
Remarks. Our Bancross P.39 yields very close to Golden Cross 
and is equal in quality. It is a good substitute for Golden Cross. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 86 days here, 6 days later than 
Golden Bantam. 
Parents. Purdue Bantam Inbreds 39 and 51. 
Ears. 12 rowed, 714" to 814", light golden, ideal type, good size 
yet not too large, very uniform, and exceptionally attractive. Out¬ 
sells all other corns. Very high percentage marketable. Kernels 
narrower and deeper than Golden Bantam, very tender and sweet. 
Wilt Resistance. Practically 100% resistant to wilt disease. 
Makes nearly a full crop when other varieties fail completely. 
Yields. Usually 50% to 100% better than any open pollinated 
corns ripening as early or earlier. Many plants produce two full 
sized ears ripening together. Stalks 6' to 7'. 
Remarks. It is the general opinion that Golden Cross ranks first 
in both yield and quality. It yields amazingly well under very difficult 
conditions of wilt or drouth. It holds good market quality longer 
after ripening than most corns. It is the ideal corn for canners, home 
gardeners and most market gardeners. 
BLOOMCROSS P.39 88 days here, 2 days later than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Bloomsdale Golden and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 8" to 9", largest of these hybrids, bright 
yellow, good type, quite uniform. Quality good but not quite equal 
to the others. 
Wilt Resistance. Very high. 
Yields. About equal to Golden Cross in weight, not quite in 
dozens of ears. Stalks 7' to 9'. 
Remarks. This new hybrid will suit markets that want large 
ears. It should interest canners also. 
REDGREEN 92 days here. 
Parents. Conn. Inbreds 77 and 78. 
Ears. 12 to 14 rowed, 8" to 9", pure white, Evergreen type, great 
uniformity, sweetest and tenderest of all white corns. Attractive and 
distinctive red and green husk coloring is a sales help. 
Wilt Resistance. Not good. Should not be grown in wilt areas. 
Yields. 25% to 50% better than Stowell’s Evergreen where there 
is no wilt. Two good ears on nearly every stalk if well spaced. 
Stalks 7' to 9'. 
Remarks. A delicious corn for late harvest. Profitable for gar¬ 
deners or canners outside the wilt areas. 
Hybrids Qood 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. 
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. 
Pop Corn 
See Prices on Page 3 
Two varieties of pop corn lead all others in tenderness and tasti¬ 
ness. 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 7" to 8" ears. Stalks 7' to 9'. Very good yielder. 
Popping qualities are excellent. Popped kernel is very large, creamy 
yellow, good flavor, tender and relatively free from hulls. 
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. Stalks 
dwarf. Low yielder. A wonderful popper making 50% more bulk 
per pound than White R.ice. Popped kernels are snow white, very 
tender and nearly hulless. Not quite so large as the Yellow. 
Family Qarden Assortment 
Here is a package of assorted sweet corn seeds that will provide 
an average family with an abundance of delicious fresh sweet corn 
from early summer till fall and some to can and plenty to pop through 
the winter. It includes 14 lb. each of Gemcross, Suncross, Whipcross 
P.39, and South American Yellow pop corn and 114 lbs. of Golden 
Cross, with directions for planting. Price $1.00 post paid 600 miles. 
These packages made a great hit last year. Send them as gifts 
to your gardening friends. They will thank you all the year. 
Planting Suggestions 
Early market prices usually are highest. To make the most of 
them we suggest two or three small successive plantings of Gemcross 
before weather conditions are quite safe. Select early ground. Use 
our treated seed. Do not plant too deep. When conditions are safe, 
plant at one time all the Gemcross and Spancross you can pick and 
sell in 6 to 10 days. If any of the first plantings is lost, replant with 
any yellow corn or other crop. One of these plantings on the market 
ahead of the crowd will more than repay the labor and seed lost on 
several. 
For a continuous supply, make at least one planting of Gemci-oss 
a few days before the safe date. Then, when it is safe, plant at one 
time equal areas of Gemcross, Spancross, Whipcross C6.2, Suncross, 
Whipcross P39, Bancross, Golden Cross and Bloomcross. 
Each area should be what you want to pick and sell in a 3 to 5 
day period. Then at 3 to 5 day intervals plant additional areas of 
Bancross, Golden Cross or Bloomcross, up to 90 days from your fall 
freezing date. This will give as continuous a supply as can be ar¬ 
ranged, of fresh, delicious and attractive corn that will win and hold 
your customers. 
If your late markets are extra good, play for them with several 
plantings of Golden Cross from 100 to 80 days before the fall freezing 
date or with 2nd plantings of Gemcross or Spancross 80 to 70 days 
before that date.
