New Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn 
1 Immune from Bacterial Diseases 
Resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Healthy, Robust and Most Productive 
During the past few years, corn growers have suffered much 
loss from Stewart’s disease or wilt. No means have been 
found of combating the disease, other than avoiding it by 
planting a wilt resisting hybrid. We take pride in the high 
quality of the three varieties of hybrid corn we are offering 
our customers this year, and feel certain they will please the 
most critical planter. 
BURGESS’ DROUGHT-TOLERANT HYBRID. 86 days to maturity. This 
new hybrid has proven itself exceptionally drought tolerant. Matures the 
same time as Golden Cross Bantam, has fewer suckers, fewer two-eared 
plants than Golden Cross, but larger ears. Ears uniformly 12 to 14 
rowed, slightly larger in diameter than Golden Cross Bantam, cylindrical, 
small cobbed, 7 to 8 inches in length. Corn growers who have tested this 
new hybrid pronounce it a leader from the standpoint of yield as well as 
for eating and drought-resisting qualities. Pkt., 15c; y 2 pt., 32c; pt., 
55c; qt., $1.00; 2 qts., $1.90, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$4.00; 25 lbs., $9.75; 100 lbs., $38.00. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 86 days to maturity. A cross of two in- 
bred Bantams developed by Glen M. Smith and introduced jointly by the 
United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue University Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station. 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 some¬ 
what less rapidly than Golden Bantam. The uniformity of the ears is 
remarkable, and all ears are well filled to the tips. Tests 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 Bantam. One test 
showed a yield of 65% more than Golden Bantam. Under drought con¬ 
ditions this hybrid variety produced well filled ears where commercial 
strains of Golden Bantam were totally unproductive. Pkt., 15c; y 2 pt., 
24c; pt., 43c; qt., 75c; 2 qts., $1.40, postpaid. By express, not prepaid,

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., 
25c; pt., 45c; qt., 80c; 2 qts., $1.50, postpaid. By express, not prepaid,
