Golden Cross Bantam 
We recommend this new hy¬ 
brid sweet corn for places 
where Stewart’s disease (wilt) 
makes it impossible to grow 
ordinary varieties of sweet 
corn. This corn which is the 
product of crossing two pure 
lines is not only resistant to 
bacterial wilt (Stewart’s dis¬ 
ease) but produces larger crops 
of beautiful ears. The ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of golden 
yellow kernels, uniform in 
length (about 8 in.) and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Matures a week 
later than Golden Bantam, the 
whole crop ripening at about 
the same time. 
This crossed seed was pro¬ 
duced by the controlled pollin¬ 
ation of two inbred parents 
and will produce the true Gold¬ 
en Cross Bantam. Seed from 
the crop cannot be saved as it 
will break down. The cross has 
to be made each year. Pkt.

corn, a heavy yielder of 
attractive ears, peculiar in form,

The kernels are similar to the 
best strains of White Rice, only 
longer and slimmer and pearly 
white in color. Its crowning 
merit lies in its popping quality, 
fine flavor and absence of hull or 
shell. Most tender and delicious 
flavor when popped. It is grown 
extensively for market and com¬
