New Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn 
Immune from Bacterial Diseases 
Resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Healthy, Robust and Most Productive 
During the past few years, corn growers have suffered much, 
loss from Stewart’s disease or wilt. No means have been 
found of combating the disease, other than avoiding it by 
planting a wilt resisting hybrid. We take pride in the high 
quality of the three varieties of hybrid corn we are offering 
our customers this year, and feel certain they will please the 
most critical planter. 
BURGESS’ DROUGHT-TOLERANT HYBRID. 86 days to maturity. This 
new hybrid has proven itself exceptionally drought tolerant. Matures the 
same time as Golden Cross Bantam, has fewer suckers, fewer two-eared 
plants than Golden Cross, but larger ears. Ears uniformly 12 to 14 
rowed, slightly larger in diameter than Golden Cross Bantam, cylindrical, 
small cobbed, 7 to 8 inches in length. Corn growers who have tested this 
new hybrid pronounce it a leader from the standpoint of yield as well as 
for eating and drought-resisting qualities. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 86 days to maturity. A cross of two in- 
bred Bantams. The stalks are uniform in height, usually about 6 feet, 
and are sturdy and straight. Under favorable conditions two to three 
ears are usually produced on each stalk. The ears are about 8 inches 
long, nearly cylindrical, and have 10 to 14 rows of kernels. At the 
eating stage the kernels are a light, golden yellow and harden some¬ 
what less rapidly than Golden Bantam. The uniformity of the ears is 
remarkable, and all ears are well filled to the tips. Tests conducted in 
23 states over a period of three years show that Golden Cross Bantam 
will give an average of 26% higher yield than Golden Bantam. One test 
showed a yield of 65% more than Golden Bantam. Under drought con¬ 
ditions this hybrid variety produced well filled ears where commercial 
strains of Golden Bantam were totally unproductive. 
TENDERGOLD. Early yellow hybrid corn. 76 days to maturity. It is 
a cross of Purdue Bantam and Golden Sunshine, 10-14 rowed and yields 
more than either Purdue or Sunshine, about the same as Golden Bantam. 
It is very resistant to Stewart’s Disease, and it is good for about 10 days 
during the picking stage. Ears are 8 to 10 inches long. 
Tendergold 
BLACK MEXICAN 
This is one of the richest flavored, sweetest, 
and tenderest sweet corns. To many of those 
who know it, no other variety can take its place. 
The ears are 7 to 8 inches in length, and are 
ready for the table in 85 to 90 days. The ripe 
seed is bluish black, but when in table condition 
the kernels are pearly white. It is a most de¬ 
sirable second early variety for the home garden.

Black Beauty Pop Corn 
AUSTRALIAN HULLESS. Also known in some sections as 
Japanese Rice, Tom Thumb, or Bumble Bee. A heavy yielder of 
little short ears, nearly as thick as long. Its crowning merit is its 
popping quality, fine flavor and absence of-hull or shell. 
GOLDEN AUSTRALIAN HULLESS. Same as Australian Hulless 
except that Kernels are of a beautiful gulden yellow color instead 
of white. Due to its superior flavor and richness of color it is 
one of the most popular varieties of Pop Corn. 
BLACK BEAUTY. Ripens earlier than any other 
variety, yet the ears are large in size and the yield is 
as heavy as that of any of the later sorts. Pops large 
and is the finest flavored variety of Pop Corn. Al¬ 
though the kernels are black, they show up nice and 
white when popped. 
South American Giant, or T.N.T. 
This is the new variety which has taken the coun¬ 
try by storm. The kernels are deep orange in color, 
extra large and smooth. When popped, they are larger 
than any" other variety and are of a rich creamy yel¬ 
low color. The flavor is something new in pop corn 
and is truly delicious. The stalks grow 6 to 8 feet 
tall and produce two and often three large ears which 
are 9 inches or more in length.
