New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
Golden Colonel. This combines the features of 
Country Gentleman with the bright yellow of 
Golden Bantam, plus extreme vigor. The 8-foot 
stalks bear ears, 8 to 10 inches long by 3 to 3^2 
inches across, with peg-shaped, zig-zagged golden 
kernels. Ready in 93 days. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uni¬ 
form. This applies also to the l x /2 to 8-inch, 10 
to 14-rowed yellow ears which mature all at one 
time in about 88 days. The tightly wrapped husks 
resist ear-worms. Will outyield all others even 
under adverse conditions. Is 95 per cent immune 
to Stewart’s disease. The most popular Hybrid. 
Spancross C2. The earliest hybrid, 5 days later than 
Golden Early Market, with 6f^-inch, dark yellow, 12 to 
16-rowed slim ears, averaging almost two to the 6-foot 
stalk. Quite immune to wilt. Matures at one time. 
Top Cross Sunshine. Has only one hybrid parent. Takes 
60 days to tassel. The light yellow, 73^-inch ears, 10 to 
14-rowed, mature 10 days after Spancross C2. 
First Early 
Golden Early Market. This is the earliest large, 
golden Sweet Corn, earlier and larger than Golden 
Sunshine and 2 weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
The large ears are tightly filled with large, sweet 
kernels of exceptional flavor. This outstanding 
Corn will bring the best early market prices. The 
stalks grow 5 to 6 feet high and the ears, 7 to 
8 inches long, are 12 to 14-rowed. 
Early Varieties 
Golden Sunshine. The earliest of Golden Bantam type, 
maturing 8 days earlier than that variety. More dwarf 
in habit than Bantam, with ears 7 inches long, with 
12 rows of broad, yellow, sweet grains. Fine for road¬ 
side stand and local market sale. 
Whipple’s Early White. The stalks are 5 to 6 feet high, of 
vigorous growth; the ears often two to the stalk, are 
8 inches long, rather “blocky” in form, 16 to 18-rowed, 
and very well filled to the end of the ear. 
Whipple’s Yellow. Matures a few days before Gol¬ 
den Bantam and grows golden yellow ears 7 to 
8 inches long and 12 to 16-rowed, with often two 
ears to one stalk. Whipple’s Yellow stalks grow 
6 feet tall. The eating quality is very excellent. 
Late Varieties

Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. It is 
late in season with 8-inch golden yellow 
ears, 12-rowed, filled with big, deep grains.

and 18-rowed, are very white, having deep- 
set kernels, remaining in a green state for 
a long period. The stalks grow 73^ feet.
