New Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn 
[ Immune from Bacterial Diseases 
i Resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
r 
Healthy, Robust and Most Productive 
During the past few years, corn growers have suffered much 
b loss from Stewart disease or wilt. No means have been 
, found of combating the disease, other than avoiding it by 
I ])lanting a wilt resisting hybrid. We take pride in the high 
^ quality of the two varieties of hybrid corn we are offering 
' our customers this year, and feel certain they will please the 
most critical planter. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 86 days to maturity. A cross 
of two inbred Bantams developed by Glen M. Smith and in¬ 
troduced jointly by the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture and Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. The stalks are uniform in height, usually about 6 feet, 
and are sturdy and straight. Under favorable conditions two 
to three ears are usually produced on each stalk. The ears 
are about 8 inches long, nearly cylindrical, and have 10 to 14 
rows of kernels. At the eating stage the kernels are a light, 
golden yellow and harden somewhat less rapidly than Golden 
Bantam. The uniformity of the ears is remarkable, and all 
ears are well filled to the tips. Te.sts conducted in 23 states 
over a period of three years show that Golden Cross Bantam 
will give an average of 26% higher yield than Golden Ban¬ 
tam. One test showed a yield of 65% more than Golden Ban¬ 
tam, Under drought conditions this hybrid variety produced 
well filled ears where commercial strains of Golden Bantam 
were totally unproductive. Pkt., 15c; % pt., 30c; pt., 50c; 
qt., 90c; 2 qts., $1.70, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 10 
lbs., $3.70; 25 lbs., $9.00; 100 lbs., $35.00. 
TENDERGOLD. Early yellow hybrid corn. 76 days to maturity. It is 
a cross of Purdue Bantam and Golden Sunshine, 10-14 rowed and yields 
more than either Purdue or Sunshine, about the same as Golden Bantam. 
It is very resistant to Stewart’s Disease, and it is good for about 10 days 
during the picking stage. Ears are 8 to 10 inches long. Pkt., 15c; pt., 
34c; pt., 56c; qt., $1.00; 2 qts., $1.85, postpaid. By express, not pre¬
