most identical to Ford’s Early in earliness, size 
of ear and growth of stalk, but it is of a golden 
yellow color. Being a descendant of the well 
known Golden Bantam it has retained all the 
fine qualities of that variety, but produces eight 
rowed ears 8 to 10 inches long of fine quality.

market or home use variety that is sure to

Ford’s Golden Sugar. 
tween the White Evergreen and Golden Bantam. 
In 1915 we offered it for sale for the first time and 
it has given excellent satisfaction to those who 
have grown it. It is sufficient to say that of all 
the yellow Sweet Corns you will like this the best. 
The stalk grows 6 to 7 feet tall; ears are of good 
size, larger than Golden Bantam, and mature a 
little later than that variety. Thus it would be 
classed as a medium late variety. It is of a rich 
golden color, and our customers say it is the finest 
flavored yellow Sweet Corn they have grown. Pkt.

GOLDEN CROSS. This remarkable new F.l. hy¬ 
brid 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, ma¬ 
tures six days later and is two to three times as 
productive. In addition this corn is very resist¬ 
ant to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s 
Disease which often causes failure with other 
early yellow sweet corns. We cannot recommend 
this corn too highly for canners and table use.
