SCARFF’S HYBRIDS ARE ALWAYS DEPENDABLE 
New Hybrid Sweet Corn 
For Quality, Yield and Fine Flavor 
O One of the earliest Hybrids which will produce a wonderful crop for you. 
^ The highest prices are always paid for the first roasting ears and Span- 
cross C 2 is by far the best Hybrid you can piant for this market. The old open pollenated kinds maturing 
so early are generally so susceptible to Stewart's Disease or Bacterial Wilt that they seldom produce heary 
yields, sometimes being destroyed altogether. Spancross C 2 is very wiit resistant. We recommend this new 
Hybrid to you. After your first taste it will have a permanent place in your garden. 
Stalk medium, ears uniform 10-14 rows. Kernels, golden yellow and of good quality._Jt wll i^oduce ears 
to eating stage in 72 days. Price per pound postpaid 45c; per pound express not prepaid, 35c; 5 pounds or 
over, 33c per pound; 10 pounds or over, 30c per pound. 
SPANCROSS P 39 
Another early favorite maturing to the 
— roasting ear stage in 80 days. Ears are 
around 71/2 inches in length having 10-12 rows extending well over the 
tips. It is a heavy cropper and especially desirable for either the home 
or commercial market. It has an excellent sweet flavor. Price per pound 
postpaid 45c. Per pound express not prepaid, 35c; 5 lbs. or over 33c per 
pound; 10 pounds or over 30c per lb. 
fjlllj I D This Hybrid is just a little later than 
WWnii r Spancross C 2 and should be in 
every commercial or family gardener's program. The stalk is thrifty with 
•ears filled well to tip. 12 to 14 rows of yellow sweet and very tender 
kernels. It produces roasting ears in 84 days. Price, per pound postpaid 45c. 
Per pound express not prepaid, 35c; 5 lbs. or over 32c per pound; 10 
pounds or over 30c per lb. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN HYBRID 
brid resembles the Country Gentleman very much except it is a little 
larger and a better producer. It has even a more delicious flavor than that 
of the open pollenated variety. Kernels are white and season is same as 
Country Gentleman. Price per lb. postpaid 50c; per lb. express not prepaid, 
45c; 5 lbs. or over 42c per lb.; 10 lbs. or over, 40c per lb. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
THE STANDARD HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Developed by Glenn M. Smith, of Purdue University, and introduced by 
the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and the Purdue Experiment Station. This 
oorn is outstanding because of its resistance to Stewart's disease or bac¬ 
terial wilt and because of this factor can be planted exceptionally early 
.and you can be certain of a good crop. It is extremely prolific and pro¬ 
duces high quality Sweet Corn for either roasting ears or canning purposes. 
Many of the large commercial canning companies are using this new variety 
with wonderful success. 
NO GARDEN, WHETHER FOR HOME OR COMMERCIAL USE, IS COM¬ 
PLETE WITHOUT GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 
The ears are larger than Golden Bantam and have 10 to 14 rows. The 
kernels are of medium width and depth. The color is not quite as deep 
yellow as Golden Bantam and is four to eight days later. We have grown 
it on our farms and we are recommending it to you very highly. We know 
of no other variety or other Hybrid which combines so many good 
qualities, has as delicious a flavor and yields so heavily as Golden 
Cross Bantam. Ask your County Agent or your university about this 
wonderful new Sweet Corn and we know you will give it a triai. 
Price, per lb. postpaid. 45c; per pound express not prepaid. 35c; 
S lbs. or over, 32c per lb.; 10 lbs. or over 30c lb. 
TWO NEW OUTSTANDING HYBRIDS 
Purgold - 39 X P 14 | Indigold - 51 x P 14 
A new yellow Sweet Corn inbred line P 14 was released this year 
from Purdue University and when crossed with the two pure lines 
producing Golden Cross Bantam the above Hybrids were produced 
without sacrificing any of the won- _ 
derfully fine flavor of Golden Cross 
Bantam. The table shows the fine in¬ 
crease in yield from widely scattered 
tests by Experiment Stations, canners 
and seedmen of both Purgold and In¬ 
digold. Price for either “Purgold” or 
“Indigold”—parcel post prepaid packet 
10c; Vz. lb. 25c; 1 lb. 45c. By express 
not prepaid per lb. 35c; per 10 lbs. 
32c per lb.; per 25 lbs. or over, 30c 
per lb. 
Warning Warning Warning 
Test your seed corn now. The early cold weather has completely destroyed 
the germination of much of the exposed corn. Good seed will be scarce. Order 
your requirements before it is too late. 
Our Hybrid Seed Corn will all be treated with mercury dust, either Semesan 
or Earbak. This is just another service we give you free.
