Varieties of real merit — 
HYBRID CORNS 
The superiority of hybrid sweet and field corns 
is no. longer questionable. Repeated trials prove 
their increased vigor and greater yield. Many show 
exceptional quality. We cannot recommend them 
too highly. The method of seed production requires 
great care and increases the cost. Increased yield 
repays the additional cost of seed many times over. 
SPANCROSS C2 72 days* Earliest hybrid with 
high yield. 10-16 rowed ears 6-8 inches long. 
Superior market variety. 
Pkt. 15c; Lb. 45c; 10 lbs. 83.70, postpaid.

IMPROVED BANCROSS CF 83 days* A Golden 
Bantam cross with large 10-14 rowed ears 8 
inches long. Comparable to Golden Cross 
Bantam for outstanding yield, attractiveness 
and superior quality. 
Pkt. 15c; Lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $3.70, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 100 lbs. 32c per lb. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 88 days* This re¬ 
markable hybrid leads for .main crop planting, 
outyielding all other varieties and leading other 
large eared sorts by 8 to 10 thousand ears per 
acre. If not grown too thickly each stalk bears 
two marketable ears of such even maturity 
that the crop may be harvested at two pickings. 
Attractive appearance, tenderness and fine 
flavor put this hybrid in a class by itself. 
Pkt. 15c; Lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 100 lbs. 30c per lb. 
WOOD’S SOUTHERN HYBRID SWEEP- 
STAKES Remarkable hybrid field corn for en¬ 
silage. The stalks have such unusual vigor 
that an early crop of large ears is produced 
together with greatly increased fodder pro¬ 
duction. Actual feeding value is far ahead of 
other varieties.
