Sweet Corn 
One pound plants 200 hills; 12 pounds plants an acre 
New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
Marcross C13.6. The best hybrid to date. The 
5-foot stalks produce 8-inch, 10 to 14-rowed, 
golden yellow ears in 77 days, or as early as Golden 
Early Market. As both parents are highly disease- 
resistant, Marcross C13.6 is doubly protected 
against disease. Well over 85 per cent of the 
attractive ears are usually marketable. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uni¬ 
form. This applies also to the 7}/2 to 8-inch, 10 
to 14-rowed yellow ears which mature all at one 
time in about 88 days. The tightly wrapped husks 
resist ear-worms. Will outyield all others even 
under adverse conditions. Is 95 per cent immune. 
Spancross C2. An early hybrid but 5 days later than 
Golden Early Market, with 63^-inch, dark yellow, 12 to 
16-rowed slim ears, averaging almost two to the 6-foot 
stalk. Quite immune to wilt. Matures at one time. 
Top Cross Sunshine. Has only one hybrid parent. Takes 
60 days to tassel. The light yellow, 73^-inch ears, 10 to 
14-rowed, mature 10 days after Spancross C2. 
First Early 
Golden Early Marked. This is the earliest large, 
golden Sweet Corn, earlier and larger than Golden 
Sunshine and 2 weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
The large ears are tightly filled with large, sweet 
kernels of exceptional flavor. This outstanding 
Corn will bring the best early market prices. The 
stalks grow 5 feet high and the ears, 7 inches long, 
are 12 to 14-rowed. 
Early Varieties 
Golden Sunshine. The earliest of Golden Bantam type, 
maturing 8 days earlier than that variety. More dwarf 
in habit than Bantam, with ears 7 inches long, with 
12 rows of broad, yellow, sweet grains. 
Whipple’s Early White. The stalks are 5 to 6 feet high, of 
vigorous growth; th ears often two to the stalk, are 
8 inches long, rather “blocky” in form, 16 to 18-rowed, 
and very well fdled to the end of the ear. 
Whipple’s Yellow. Matures a few days before Gol¬ 
den Bantam and grows golden yellow ears 7 to 
8 inches long and 12 to 16-rowed, with often two 
ears to a 6-foot stalk. Quality is excellent. 
Late Varieties 
Golden Colonel. A cross between Country Gentleman and 
Golden Bantam. The 8-foot stalks bear 72^-inch ears 
with peg-shaped, zig-zagged golden kernels. Ready in 
93 days. A nice variety for local roadside sale. 
Golden Cross Bantam Corn 
Bantam Evergreen. A cross between Golden 
Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. It is 
late in season with 8-inch golden yellow 
ears, 12-rowed, filled with big, deep grains. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears, 7 to 9 inches long 
and 18-rowed, are very white, having deep- 
set kernels, remaining in a green state for 
a long period. The stalks grow 7% feet.
