SUGAR or SWEET CORN 
First Introduced in 1830—Then One Variety. One lb. of seed for 100 
yds. Twelve lbs. to the acre. Seventy-two to 100 days from planting 
to edible condition. Breaks ground in 6 days. One inch high in 10 
days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. Please note 
that the new Hybrids and Top Crossed Corns are all designated with a star(^). 
These corns are a very valuable asset to the Corn Family. They are very 
uniform in growth and ripening and produce larger yields of extra fine quality 
ears. Highly recommended by agricultural experiment stations and all 
Corn Experts.

golden in color. Height of stalk 6Y to 7 feet. Ears thin, averaging 8 or 9 inches long, and 
pointed being mostly 10 to 14 rows. This is a new hybrid variety created by crossing Golden 
Bantam with Long Island Beauty, in 1925, by our Mr. Mills. Due to the confusion of our Golden 
Sunrise with Golden Sunshine and others of similar names, we have changed the name of 
Golden Sunrise to Bloomsdale Golden. The yield is only slightly less than Golden Cross 
Bantam, the ears are larger and thicker. Resistant to Stewart’s Wilt Disease. 
Y lb. 30c lb. 50c 5 lbs. $2.05 10 lbs. $3.70 
★BLOOMCROSS P39 (TOPCROSSED BLOOMSDALE GOLDEN OR TOPCROSSED 
GOLDEN SUNRISE)—89 Days. This is identical to Bloomsdale Golden, except that Purdue 
39, one of the parents of Golden Cross Bantam, is used as the seed parent and the stalks de- 
tasseled, while Bloomsdale Golden, planted in adjacent rows, furnishes the pollen. This makes 
a superior hybrid which is uniform in ripening and growth, and with a high yield per acre.
