New Disease^Resistant Hybrids 
Marcross Cl3.6. 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 l /l 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, 7f£-inch ears, 10 to 
14-rowed, mature 10 days after Spancross C2.
