Only a few years ago the first hybrid sweet corns were introduced. They were received with much skepticism. 
Today, many gardeners and most canners use hybrids exclusively, so much more satisfactory and profitable are they. 
New hybrids are being developed each year, some good, some not. It is part of our job to be “not too slow to put off the 
old and not too fast to take on the new.” 
We offer hybrids only. Descriptions follow. Please read them carefully and also the planting suggestions on the 
back of this page. Then choose those that best suit your needs. The new hybrids are starred. You will like them. 
Hijbrid Sweet Corns 
NOTE—Date.s of ripening Kiven below are ai>i)roximate for our locality. They will 
vary with locality, date of plantin.cr, and temperature and moisture supply during 
growing period. Descriptions ai'e based on good growing conditions. Our corn 
seed is treated with Semesan, Jr. 
COCKCROW* 68 days here, 18 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Quaker Hill strain Golden Gem and Golden Early 
Market Inbred Conn. 13. 
Ears. Mostly 10 to 12 rowed, 7" to 8", light golden, broad ker¬ 
nels, sweet and tender. Good type. Very uniform. 
Wilt Resistance. Not thoroughly tested, but better than Gem, 
because C13 is highly resistant. 
Yields. Better than any corn as early and than many later. 
Remarks, Cockcrow supplants the Gemcross P39 we introduced 
2 years ago. It has the extreme earliness of both parents and re¬ 
tains quite successfully the prolificacy and quality of Gem, and the 
ear size, type and wilt resistance of Early Market. In addition, it 
has hybrid vigor. Cockcrow, in our estimation, is the gardener’s best 
bet for first-on-the-market profits and satisfaction. 
Supply is limited. We reserve right to limit amount to each customer. 
SPANCROSS P39 72 days here, 14 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Inbred Spanish Gold and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 8", bright yellow, excellent quality, 
very good shape and uniformity, resembles Golden Cross. 
Wilt Resistance. Especially good. Well demonstrated. 
Yields. 75% to 100% better than Spanish Gold, nearly equal to 
Golden Cross in number of ears and about 80% of Golden Cross in 
weight. Many plants produce two full sized ears and some three. 
Remarks. Spancross P.39 is a proven money maker. Only a few 
days later than other early hybrids, it yields more, larger, and better 
appearing ears. Popular with canners for early harvesting. 
WHIPCROSS C6.2 74 days here, 12 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow Inbreds. Conn. 6 and 2. 
Ears. 12 to 14 rowed, 7" to 8", light golden, excellent table 
quality, very good type and uniformity. 
Wilt Resistance. Excellent. Produces well under wilt conditions 
that would ruin Whipple’s Yellow, which is very susceptible. 
Yields. 25% to 100% better than Whipple’s Yellow. Stalks 6'. 
Remarks. Earlier and better every way than Whipple’s Yellow. 
SUNCROSS P39 76 days here, 10 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Golden Sunshine and Purdue Bantam. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7'' to 8", light golden, larger and more 
uniform than Golden Sunshine. 
W'ilt Resistance. Good, Usually 70% to 80% healthy when wilt 
is bad enough to make Golden Sunshine a complete loss. 
Yields. 25% to 40% better than Sunshine. Stalks about 6'. 
Remarks. This hybrid is much more profitable than any of the 
old favorites ripening about the same time. 
CHARLCROSS C2* 80 days here, 6 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Charlevoix and Whipple’s Yellow Inbred Conn. 2. 
Ears. 12 to 16 rowed, 7" to 7y2", beautifully golden, highest 
table quality. Excellent type and uniformity. 
Wilt Resistance. Slight. Not safe in wilt areas. 
Yields. 50% to 80% better than Golden Bantam. 
Remarks. This hybrid is outstanding in type and quality. 
QUAKER HILL 0 K* 80 days here, 6 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow Inbred Conn. 2 and Bantam Inbreds 
Purdue 39 and Quaker Hill R, in a 3-way cross. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7%" to SV 2 ", good shape, well filled. 
Broad, deep, golden kernels. Very good quality. 
Wilt Resistance. Good. 
Yields. Better than preceding hybrids, practically equal to Golden 
Cross, i. e., 50% to 100% better than Golden Bantam, for instance. 
Remarks. Six days ahead of Golden Cross, with nearly equal 
quality and yield, this Hybrid O K olTers canners and other users 
of Golden Cross the opportunity of advancing the harvest period. 
QUAKER HILL X L* 82 days here, 4 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Bantam Inbreds Purdue 39 and Quaker Hill R. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7%" to 814", good type and uniformity. 
Broad, deep kernels of Bantam flavor, tenderness and color. 
Wilt Resistance. Excellent. 
Yields. Records and observations to date indicate yielding ability 
at least equal to Golden Cross, actually better in a number of tests. 
Remarks. Slightly earlier, better flavor, larger kernels and per¬ 
haps a little better yield than Golden Cross. Better try it. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 86 days here, 6 later than Bantam. 
Parents. Purdue Bantam Inbreds 39 and 51. 
Ears. 12 rowed, 714" to 814", light golden, ideal type, good size 
yet not too large, very uniform, and exceptionally attractive. Out¬ 
sells all other corns. Very high percentage marketable. Kernels 
narrower and deeper than Golden Bantam, very tender and sweet. 
Wilt Resistance. Nearly 100% resistant to wilt. Makes nearly 
a full crop when other varieties fail completely. 
Yields. Usually 50% to 100% better than any open pollinated 
corns ripening as early or earlier. Many plants produce two full 
sized ears ripening together. Stalks 6' to 7'. 
Remarks. Golden Cross has proved highly satisfactory whenever 
length of growing season and market requirements are right. It 
ranks very high in quality and yield and well deserves its popularity. 
REDGREEN 92 days here. 
Parents. Conn. Inbreds 77 and 78. 
Ears. 12 to 14 rowed, 8" to 9", pure white. Evergreen type, great 
uniformity, sweetest and tenderest of all white corns. Attractive and 
distinctive red and green husk coloring is a sales help. 
Wilt Resistance. Not good. Should not be growm in wilt areas. 
Yields. 25% to 50% better than Stowell’s Evergreen. Two good 
ears on nearly every stalk if well spaced. Stalks 7' to 9'. 
Remarks. A delicious com for late harvest. Profitable for gar¬ 
deners or canners outside the wilt areas. A favorite for corn roasts. 
HYBRIDS GOOD ONLY FOR FIRST CROP 
The amazingly better results from hybrid seed are secured only 
in the first crop. Later crops are less vigorous, more variable and 
quickly drop back to the level of their parent strains. It is necessary 
therefore, in order to get maximum results, to use each year seed 
that was produced by controlled cross pollination.
