324 Cu...! Cnrn Golden Cross Bantam. Latest 
vum Hybrid Introduction—Bred to 
Resist Stewart’s Disease, which causes so much 
trouble and loss of crops in some sections. Stewart’s 
Disease causes stalk to wither from tip to root, having ap¬ 
pearance of being frosted. If you have any such trouble in 
growing Sweet Corn, by all means plant Golden Cross this 
season. This remarkable new F. 1. hybrid represents the 
greatest advance in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was 
introduced. It is a bright yellow, 12-rowed corn with 8-inch 
ears, borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully 
equal to Golden Bantam in every way, matures six days 
later and is two to three times as productive. In addition 
this corn is very resistant to the bacterial wilt known as 
Stewart’s Disease which often causes failure with other 
early yellow sweet corns. I cannot recommend this corn 
too highly for canners and table use. Pkt. 15 cts.; V 2 lb. 
28 cts.; lb. 50 cts.; 2 lbs 90 cts.; postpaid.
