SWEET CORN—Continued 
Extra Early Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. (69 days.) This 
corn is altogether a very fine extra early yellow corn. To those who 
want an early yellow with large ears we highly recommend this variety. 
The ears are of good size, 12 rows, 7 inches long, well filled with 
broad butter yellow kernels. The quality is very good but not equal 
to Extra Early Bantam. It matures with us about the same time. 
There are many stocks of this corn being sold under a great, 
variety of names. We obtained our stock seed direct from the 
originators and grow the seed here in Monroe County in order to 
have the true strain.

GOLDEN GEM. The Earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days.) This extra early 
yellow corn has proved to be the earliest variety. The ears are 6 in. 
long 8 to 10 rows of bright yellow kernels. Unlike many very early 
kinds it is of very excellent quality. It is important to give this corn 
good rich land. Under good conditions the stalks grow i-Y to 5 feet. 
If you wish to have the very earliest corn try some Golden Gem.

corn in 1920 it has become one of the most popular varieties of sweet 
corn grown and deservedly so. Many of our customers are surprised 
that such a large ear can he so sweet and tender. 
The ears are twice as large as Golden Bantam and mature two or three 
days earlier. The ears are 8 to 9 in. long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep 
yellow kernels of very fine quality. The stalks grow quite tall and 
often produce two large ears of nearly equal size. 
Growers have found this to be one of the most profitable sweet corns 
to raise for market as it is nearly a week before any corn of equal size. 
We take great pains in selecting our stock of this corn and have spent 
much effort in improving it both in size and earliness since we first 
introduced it. All the seed we offer is Northern Grown on our own 
farm and on neighboring farms under our most careful supervision.

A New Early Crossed Corn. 
(76 days.) In our trials this new 
hybrid matured fully 10 days earlier than Golden Cross Bantam and 
2 or 3 days earlier than Golden Bantam. It has proved to be resistant 
to Stewart’s disease and is the outstanding early hybrid to grow in 
areas where wilt is bothersome. 
EARLY BANCROSS 39. 
Golden Sunshine. (74 days.) An extra early yellow variety of merit. 
Ears have 10 to 12 rows and are 6 to 7 in. long and the corn is of excel¬ 
lent quality. Matures a week earlier than Golden Bantam.

When Different Varieties Mature 
We give after the names of the different varieties listed in this 
catalogue the approximate number of days required in which the 
corn matures after planting. As the time required varies greatly 
according to the weather, time of planting, and fertility of the 
soil the figures should be regarded as relative rather than actual, 
although they are taken from our trials. 
Careful, constant and thorough detasseling is necessary to produce 
good crossed corn. This is a field of our Early Bancross 39. 
I bis corn is the product of carefully top crossing of Purdue 39 on 
our own selected stock seed of Harris' Extra Early Bantam. 
The ears are very attractive being IY 2 to 8 in. long, very uniform and 
cylindrical with 10 to 14 rows of bright yellow kernels of fine quality. 
The plant is rugged and prolific and many stalks produce two good ears. 
Like all crossed corns, seed from the 1937 planting should not be 
saved for next year as it will break down. Sow at the same rate as 
the open polinated varieties.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. H, & 
-Yielding—Uniform. (86 
days.) We recommend this hybrid sweet corn for places where Stew¬ 
art’s disease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties of 
sweet corn. This corn which is (he product of crossing two pure lines is 
not oidy resistant to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s disease), but produces 
larger crops of beautiful ears. The ears have 10 to 14 rows of golden 
yellow kernels, uniform in lengt h (about 8 in.) and of excellent quality. 
Matures a week later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening at 
about the same time. 
This crossed seed was produced by the carefully controlled pollina¬ 
tion of two inbred parents in 1936 and will produce the true Golden 
Cross Bantam described above in 1937. Seed from the 1937 crop should 
not be saved for 1938 as it will break down. The cross has to be made 
each year. Use not more than 6 lbs. per acre.

It Costs a Lot to Replant! 
If you are bothered by crows and other birds 
pulling out your seed corn you should use Stanley’s 
Crow Repellant. Crows and other birds will not 
bother corn which has been treated with this product. 
It will not clog the planter.
