HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
YELLOW HYBRIDS 
Early Bancross Hybrid 
We caution our customers not to try to 
save their own seed, as hybrids must be 
produced each year by crossing and will 
not give satisfactory results unless this is 
lone. 
SPANCROSS 2 Our earliest hybrid 
sweet corn. Produces 10-16 rowed 
ears, slightly tapering and 6-8 inches 
long, on stalks about 6 feet high. Will 
produce more marketable ears than 
Early Yellow Sensation. It is almost 
immune to bacterial wilt. Lb., 50c: 
12>4 lbs., $6.00: 50 lbs., $20.00. 
SPANCROSS 39 Produces 8-14 rowed 
slender, cylindrical ears 6-9" long. 
Stalks are 6-7' tall. In our trials this 
hybrid produced about 25000 market¬ 
able ears per acre as compared to 11000 for Spanish 
Gold and 19000 for Whipples. This cross is highly 
resistant to bacterial wilt or Stewart’s disease. Lb., 
50c; 12J4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
EARLY BANCROSS This topcrossed Bantam is pro¬ 
duced from an especially selected, large eared strain 
of 8 rowed Golden Bantam. It produces 8-14 rowed, 
cylindrical ears of good quality and color, and 
matures 3-4 days earlier than other available stocks 
of topcrossed Bantam. In common with all of our 
yellow hybrids, it carries a high resistance to bacterial 
wilt. Lb., 50c; 12 J4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
TENDERGOLD A top cross of Purdue Bantam on 
Golden Sunshine. Ears are cylindrical to slightly 
tapering, from 7-8 in. long. It has 10 to 14 rows of 
kernels of the Golden Bantam type and of highest 
quality. It yields more than either Golden Bantam 
or Golden Sunshine and matures at about the same 
time as Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to 
Stewart’s disease, shows great uniformity of ears, 
and produces a large percentage of two-eared stalks. 
Lb.. 40c; 12>4 lbs., $5.00; 50 lbs., $17.50. 
SENCROSS This topcross produces 12-16 rowed 
slightly tapering to tapering ears 7-10" long; is 2-3 
days later than Tendergold and in the same season 
as Whipples. This hybrid produces about 40% more 
than Tendergold or Early Yellow Sensation and as 
much or more than Whipples. It is easily superior 
to Whipples in uniformity, color and resistance to 
bacterial wilt. Lb., 50c; 12 J4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20. 
WHIPCROSS 39-6 Matures 3-4 days earlier than 
Whipples, producing 8-14 rowed cylindrical ears 7-9 ' 
long in our trials. This hybrid combines the 
kernel size, ear size and earliness of Whipples with 
the quality and color and ear shape of Purdue 39. 
Practically immune to bacterial wilt. This cross is 
better suited for market gardeners than Whipples 
and is especially well adapted to the New England 
and northern states. Lb., 50c; 12J4 lbs., $6.00; 50 
lbs., $20.00. 
WHIPCROSS 39-2 Similar in all respects to Whipcross 
39-6, but adapted for use in such climates as Mar} 
land, New Jersey and Delaware. Lb., 50c; 12j4 lbs., 
$6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
WHIPCROSS 39 This topcross is superior to Whipples in 
uniformity, quality, color, and resistance to bacterial wilt. It 
produces 10-16 rowed slightly tapering ears 6-10 in. long. It 
is 2-3 days later and usually yields more than Whipples. It is 
more satisfactory to market gardeners than the best stocks of 
Whipples now available. Lb., 50c; 12}4 lb., $6.; 50 lbs., $20 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM A cross of two inbred 
Bantams developed at the Purdue Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, it is midseason hybrid, typically 4 to 8 days later 
than Golden Bantam. Stalks average 6j4 to 7 ft. in 
height and are sturdy and straight, and under favor¬ 
able conditions two ears are usually produced on each 
stalk. The ears are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 
14 rows of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially 
for resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the re¬ 
markable uniformity of its ears. Our own trials for 
3 years showed a yield of 50-65% more than any 
stocks of Golden Bantam tested. Lb., 50c; 12^4 
lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $17.50.
