HYBRID VARIETIES—Continued 
KINGSCROST CANNING BANTAM (A) 
This is a cross between two of our own inbreds which has been used with splen¬ 
did results by many of the larger canners. It was developed for cutting but has 
been found superior to normal 8-row Bantam for ear packing. In yield and 
number of cases of canned corn per acre, it 
is outstanding. Kernels medium fine, deep, 
tender, of very good quality. 8 rows—length 
of ear 5 to 7 inches—height of stalk 572 to 6 
feet—83 days from planting to eating stage. 
KINGSCROST EAR PACK 
BANTAM (B) 
With the development of the vacuum process 
many canners are successfully packing corn 
on the cob. This hybrid was developed by 
us for this purpose. It is the result of hun¬ 
dreds of trial crosses betwen inbreds. Our 
1935 yield comparisons show that this cross 
produces approximately 4272% more ears 
suitable for packing corn on the cob than 
normal 8-row Bantam. It was also more uni¬ 
form in maturity. 
We are prepared to accept growing contract 
orders for a limited amount of this hybrid 
from crop of 1936 and suggest that you place your order as early as possible. 
8 rows—length of ear 51/2 to 6 V 2 inches—height of stalk 5 to 6 feet—planting 
to canning stage 80 to 83 days.

KINGSCROST EAR PACK BANTAM (C) 
This hybrid is of our own introduction, and is similar to (B) in plant habit. 
Comparing this hybrid to normal 8-row Bantam in 1935 it yielded 115% more 
ears suitable for whole ear pack. 
This combination varies from (B) in produc¬ 
ing an ear nearly 1V 2 inches longer. It also, 
has a lighter yellow grain color. Some of 
the packers who have seen this cross think 
that the ear is too long and may result in 
cutting wastage. 
KINGSCROST GOLDEN BANTAM 
This is a pure 8-row Bantam type hybrid 
which is about ten days earlier than the nor¬ 
mal Golden Bantam. Its quality is excellent 
and in maturity, it is very uniform. We sug¬ 
gest this hybrid for use only in the northern 
states. It has given splendid results in Can¬ 
ada, 8 rows—length of ears 5 to 6 l /2 inches 
—height of stalk 5 to 5 V 2 feet—73 days from 
olanting to eating stage.
