LANDRETHS’ SEEDS ARE GROWN BY AMERICA’S OLDEST SEED HOUSE 
15 
SWEET CORN—Continued 
Spancross P39 Ready to Eat 
; "v?.* 
Whipple’s Yellow—82 Days. Grains medium 
length, golden yellow color. Height of stalk 6 to 
64 ft. Ears medium in length and thickness, 
averaging 6 to 7 inches, long pointed. Rows mostly 
10 to 14. Another early favorite of the growers but 
unfortunately it is not resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Disease. 
★Whipcross P 39 (Whipple’s Yellow Top Cross) 
—83 Days. Grains medium length, golden yellow in 
color. The height of stalk is about the same as 
Whipple’s Yellow, as well as the length, thickness of 
the ear and the number of rows of kernels. It is 
somewhat resistant to wilt and therefore produces a 
greater yield than Whipple’s Yellow. It is uniform 
in maturing, and the crop is of good quality, better 
than open-pollinated Whipple’s Yellow. This 
variety is about 3 to 5 days earlier than Golden 
Cross Bantam. 
Whipcross 6.2—80 Days. This is another Whipple 
Cross becoming very popular as an early Sweet Corn. 
Whipcross 39.2—83 Days. One of the best of the 
early hybrids. 
Hybrid Corn must be produced each year by 
crossing and will not give satisfactory results unless 
this is done. Do not try to save your own Hybrid 
seed. 
GARDEN CORN —NOT SWEET 
Adams Extra Early or Early Burlington—74 
Days. Grains medium in length, white in color. 
Height of stalk 4 \ to 5 feet. Ears short and thick, 
averaging 5 to 6 inches, short pointed. Rows 
generally 10 to 14. This is a white dent variety 
that is planted very early in the Spring for roasting 
ears, not as good quality as true sweet corn. 
Adams Early—80 Days. Grains medium length, 
white in color. Height of stalk 5 to 6 ft. Ears med¬ 
ium in length and thickness, average 6 to 7 inches 
and medium pointed. Rows generally 10 to 14. 
Another white dent variety used for roasting ears. 
Long Island Beauty—98 Days. Grains medium 
length, color white. Height of stalk 8 to 9 ft. Ears 
long, thick and averaging 9 to 10 inches, short 
pointed. Rows mostly 12 to 16. Many years ago 
Long Island Beauty was produced by crossing Late 
Mammoth with Stowells’ Evergreen. A very 
popular late season variety with exceptionally large 
ears. Used principally where market gardeners 
supply a city trade which demands the most for 
their money. Fairly resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Disease. 
★Marcross 6.13—73 Days. Grains medium 
length and golden in color. It is one of the best for 
very early planting, producing a good sized ear. 
Height of stalk about 5 ft., ears medium size and 
medium to thick, averaging 5 to 6 inches, and 
tapering. Rows mostly 10 or 12. 
★Spancross P 39 (Spanish Gold Top Cross)— 
79 Days. Grains medium length, golden yellow. 
The height of stalk is about the same as Golden 
Cross Bantam, ears about the same length, 7 to 8 
inches. There are usually 12 rows of golden yellow 
kernels of fine quality. Spancross is 5 to 7 days 
later than Spanish Gold, is more wilt-resistant 
produces higher yields, and is better quality. About 
a week earlier than Golden Cross Bantam. 
The Vanguard—Improved Howling Mob—72 
Days. Grains medium length, color white. Height 
of stalk 5 to ft. Ears medium in length, thick, 
averaging 6 to 7 inches, short pointed. Rows mostly 
12 to 16. About a week to ten days earlier than 
Howling Mob. A favorite in New Jersey for a first- 
early sweet corn. Fairly resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Disease. Developed by A. L. Richie, a New Jersey 
grower. 
Whipple’s Early White—87 Days. A fine mid¬ 
season variety. Deep kernels. Desirable for home 
gardens. Ears 14 to 18 rows. Pure white. Sweet 
and tender.
