Hybrid Varieties 
Don’t Plant Sweet Corn Deep 
Sweet corn should not be planted over one inch deep; most 
people plant two or three inches deep—most sure to rot. Also do 
not plant too early. Not as early as field corn. 
GOLDEN CROSS —This remarkable new F-l hybrid represents 
the greatest advance in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was 
introduced. It is a bright yellow, 12-rowed corn with 8-inch 
ears, borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully 
equal to Golden Bantam in every way; matures six days later 
and is two to three times as productive. In addition, this 
corn is very resistant to the bacterial wilt known as Stew¬ 
art’s Disease, which often causes failure with other early 
yellow sweet corns. We cannot recommend this corn too 
highly for canners and table use. 14 lb., 35c; lb., 45c. 
TENDERGOLD —A very fine hybrid of outstanding quality 
introduced by us after years of research. Four days earlier 
than Golden Bantam and generally twice as productive, the 
attractive 8-inch, 12-rowed ears command a premium on the 
market. For tenderness and succulence we have never seen 
its equal and it holds this fine quality 2 or 3 days longer than 
other corns. Produces heavy crops in areas where Golden 
Bantam succumbs to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s Disease). Com¬ 
pares favorably with the Evergreens in canning cost. Market 
gardeners report customers insisting on this corn after one 
trial. 14 lb., 35c; lb,, 60c. 
We recommend Hybrid Sweet Corn to all home and mar¬ 
ket gardeners for its exceptional flavor and uniform quality. To 
get best results, due to the uniform ripening of Hybrid Sweet 
Corn, we suggest successive plantings of approximately one 
week apart, insuring fresh corn in perfect stage for roasting 
ears. 
Sweet or Sugar Corn 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
EXTRA EARLY ADAMS— While not prop¬ 
erly a sweet corn, it is used as such be¬ 
cause of its very early and hardy nature. 
Market gardeners depend on this sort for 
their first “roasting ears.” It can be planted 
long before it is safe to plant other varie¬ 
ties. 14 lb., 10c; lb., 20c. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE— This is a cross be¬ 
tween Golden Bantam and Early Market, 
a white variety. It is a week earlier than 
Bantam, plants are slightly smaller. Ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of creamy yellow grain 
and are surprisingly large for an early va¬ 
riety. 14 lb., 20c; lb., 30c. 
WHITE MEXICAN— White Mexican is a 
heavy yielding, early maturing sweet corn. 
It ranks in a class with White Cob Cory 
and is a better yielder. Height 4 feet; ear 
about 6/4 inches long. Quality good 1 . 14 lb., 
15c; lb., 30c. 
WHITE COB CORY— Resembles the ordi¬ 
nary Cory in size and earliness, but with 
white cobs; very much better quality. 
14 lb., 15c; lb., 30c.
