SUGAR or SWEET CORN—Continued 
★LANDCROSS A, B and C —80 Days. (1938 Introduction) 
These are 3 of our own single crosses of inbreds from Golden 
Bantam. In several State experiment station tests, they have 
outyielded all strains of open-pollinated Golden Bantam. 
Where an 8-rowed Golden Bantam is used for canning on the 
cob, these are ideal varieties. The ears are uniform in size 
and shape, ripen at the same time, and are high in quality. 
Landcross A, B, and C are all resistant to Stewart’s Wilt Disease.

medium length, broad, and white in color. Height of stalk 
7 to 7)4 ft. Ears medium length and thin, average length 6

mostly 8 to 12. This is the finest quality sweet corn on the 
market, being of excellent flavor and extremely tender. Fairly 
resistant to Stewart’s Wilt Disease. Very late in maturing. 
Money Maker should be planted as early as possible. It remains 
edible for a longer period than other varieties.
