HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
YELLOW HYBRIDS 
Spancross 39 
We caution our customers not to try to 
save their own seed, as hybrids must be 
produced each year by crossing and will 
not give satisfactory results unless this is 
done. 
SPANCROSS 2 Our earliest hybrid 
sweet corn. Produces 10-16 rowed 
ears, slightly tapering and 6-8 inches 
long, on stalks about 6 feet high. Will 
produce more marketable ears than 
Early Yellow Sensation. It is almost 
immune to bacterial wilt. Lb., 50c; 
Uy 2 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
SPANCROSS 39 Produces 8-14 rowed 
slender, cylindrical ears 6-9" long. 
Stalks are 6-7' tall. In our trials this 
hybrid produced about 25000 market¬ 
able ears per acre as compared to 11000 for Spanish 
Gold and 19000 for Whipples. This cross is highly 
resistant to bacterial wilt or Stewart’s disease. Lb.. 
50c; \2y 2 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
EARLY BANCROSS This topcrossed Bantam is pro¬ 
duced from an especially selected, large eared strain 
of 8 rowed Golden Bantam. It produces 8-14 rowed, 
cylindrical ears of good quality and color, and 
matures 3-4 days earlier than other available stocks 
of topcrossed Bantam. In common with all of our 
yellow hybrids, it carries a high resistance to bacterial 
wilt. Lb., 50c; 12^4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
TENDERGOLD A top cross of Purdue Bantam on Golden Sun¬ 
shine. Ears are cylindrical to slightly tapering from 7-8 in. 
long. It has 10 to 14 rows of kernels of the Golden Bantam 
type and of highest quality. It yields more than either 
Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine and matures at about 
the same time as Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to 
Stewart’s disease, shows great uniformity of ears, and pro¬ 
duces a large percentage of two-eared stalks. Lb., 50c; 
\2y 2 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
SENCROSS This topcross produces 12-16 rowed 
slightly tapering to tapering ears 7-10" long; is 2-3 
days later than Tendergold and in the same season 
as Whipples. This hybrid produces about 40% more 
than Tendergold or Early Yellow Sensation and as 
much or more than Whipples. It is easily superior 
to Whipples in uniformity, color and resistance to 
bacterial wilt. Lb., 50c; 12^4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20. 
WHIPCROSS 39-6 Matures 3-4 days earlier than Whipples, 
producing 8-14 rowed cylindrical ears 7-9 in. long in our 
trials. This hybrid combines the kernel size, ear size and 
earliness of Whipples with the quality and color and ear 
shape of Purdue 39. Practically immune to bacterial wilt. 
This cross is better suited for market gardeners than Whip¬ 
ples and is especially well adapted to the New England and 
northern states. Lb., 50c; 12J4 lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
WHIPCROSS 39-2 Similar in all respects to Whipcross 
39-6, but adapted for use in such climates as Mary¬ 
land, New Tersey and Delaware. Lb., 50c; 12*4 lbs., 
$6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00. 
WHIPCROSS 39 This topcross is superior to Whip¬ 
ples in uniformity, quality, color, and resistance to 
bacterial wilt. It produces 10-16 rowed slightly taper¬ 
ing ears 6-10 in. long. It is 2-3 days later and usually 
yields more than Whipples. It is more satisfactory 
to market gardeners than the best stocks of Whipples 
now available. Lb., 50c; 12^4 lb., $6.; 50 lbs., $20. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM A cross of two inbred 
Bantams developed at the Purdue Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, it is midseason hybrid, typically 4 to 8 days later 
than Golden Bantam. Stalks average 6}4 to 7 ft. in 
height and are sturdy and straight, and under favor¬ 
able conditions two ears are usually produced on each 
stalk. The ears are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 
14 rows of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially 
for resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the re¬ 
markable uniformity of its ears. Our own trials for 
4 years showed a yield of 50-65% more than any 
stocks of Golden Bantam tested. Lb., 50c; 12}4 
lbs., $6.00; 50 lbs., $20.00.
