Last year the dreaded wilt disease of sweet corn moved farther north into New England, New York, Pennsylvania, 
Ohio and Indiana, and caused more loss of sweet corn than is generally realized. Another mild winter T^^r^ us of prob¬ 
able farther spread northward in 1939, Every sweet corn grower should consider the chances of wilt striking in his local¬ 
ity this summer and, if that is likely, should guard against loss by using wilt resistant hybrids. More detailed information 
is given over the page. Be sure to read it, * 
In the few years since hybrid sweet corns were first introduced commercially, hundreds of^'Yes^is by Experiment 
stations and thousands by growers have proved that the better hybrids do produce from 25% to 100%^^l$jore ears or 
larger ears per acre; and that they are more uniform and of better quality. . 
At first only a few hybrids were available. Now since plant breeders are developing more and better inbreds for 
crossing, we have many more hybrids to select from. It is therefore necessary to revise each year our list of hybrids in 
order to furnish our customers with the best available. These changes are expensive for us and confusing for you but 
they mean advancement. 
The following are outstandingly good hybrids. From them you can select one or a combination to meet your par¬ 
ticular market requirements. For the home gardeners there is the Family Garden Assortment (slightly changed) that has 
given so much enjoyment. Please read the descriptions carefully. 
Hqbrid Sweet Corns 
NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening per¬ 
iods are approximate for Western New York, Central Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan. 
Northern New England. Near the ocean, longer periods may be required. Very 
early jilantings require longer and late plantings require shorter periods. Moisture 
and temperature variations from normal affect the period. 
Germinations range from 90% to 98%. Seed is treated with Semesan Ji-. 
COCKCROW. 62-66 days here, 22 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Parents. Golden Gem and Golden Early Market Inbred C13. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 614" to 714", light golden, broad kernels, 
sweet and tender . Good appearance. 
Wilt Resistance, Susceptible. Should be used only where wilt 
disease does not occur. 
Yields. 25% to 35% better than its parents. Stalks 5'. 
Remarks. Cockcrow has the extreme earliness of its parents and 
combines quite well the prolificacy and quality of Gem with the size 
and type of Early Market. It ranks with the earliest in most tests 
and is definitely better market type than some. 
WHIP-MARCROSS C6.13. 62 to 66 days here, a little earlier than 
Golden Early Market, 22 days earlier than Golden Cross, several days 
earlier than Spancross P39 and Gemcross P39. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow Inbred C6 and Golden Early Market 
Inbred C13. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 714", light golden, round kernels, 
quality “very good”, fine uniformity, excellent appearance. 
Wilt Resistance. Very high resistance. Equal to Golden Cross. 
Yields. 35% more and 20% larger ears than Golden Early Mar¬ 
ket; about 75% as many ears as Golden Cross. Stalks 5.5'. 
Remarks. This is the first real early yellow hybrid that is safe 
to use in wilt infected areas. Moreover, it is of very good market 
type. It will be a money maker in those areas. 
BAN-MARCROSS R. C13. 72 to 76 days, 10 days later than the 
foregoing, 12 days earlier than Golden Cross. Replaces Spancross P39, 
Gemcross P39 and Whipcross C6.2. 
Parents. Quaker Hill Bantam Inbred R and Golden Eai’ly Mar¬ 
ket Inbred C13. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 7" to 8", golden, excellent type, better 
quality than the one preceding but not quite as uniform in ripening. 
Wilt Resistance. Not thoroly tested but apparently 85% to 95% 
resistant under severe wilt conditions.. 
Yields. About 90% of Golden Cross. Stalks 6'. 
Remarks. This hybrid is of better quality than the Spancrosses, 
more wilt resistant than the Gemcrosses, Suncross P39 and several 
others and more productive than Whipcross C6.2. We recommend it 
for replacing all these and other midseason hybrids. 
QUAKER HILL 0 K. 80 to 84 days here, 2 to 4 earlier than Gol¬ 
den Cross. 
Parents. Whipple’s Yellow Inbred C2 and Bantam Inbreds P39 
and Quaker Hill R, in a 3-way cross. 
Ears. 12 to 14 rowed, 7" to 8", larger diameter, good shape, well 
filled. Round deep golden kernels. Good quality. Not as uniform in 
ripening. 
Wilt Resistance. Good in Jersey trials last summer. 
Yields. Better than preceding hybrids, practically equal to Gold¬ 
en Cross, 50% to 75% better than Golden Bantam. Stalks 6' to 7'. 
Remarks. A little earlier than Golden Cross and a thicker ear, 
ripening over a longer period are advantages in some cases. 
QUAKER HILL X L. 82 to 86 days here, 4 earlier than Golden 
Cross. 
Parents. Bantam Inbreds P39 and Quaker Hill R. 
Ears. Mostly 12 rowed, 714" to 814", good type and uniformity. 
Round, deep kernels of Bantam flavor, tenderness and color. 
Wilt Resistance. Proven very good. 
Yields. Averaged 4% better than Golden Cross in 10 experiment 
station tests. Stalks 7'. 
Remarks. Slightly earlier, better flavor, ears a little larger and 
usually a little better yield than Golden Cross. Try it. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 84 to 88 days here, 6 later than 
Bantam. 
Parents. Purdue Bantam Inbreds 39 and 51. 
Ears. 12 rowed, 7" to 8", light golden, ideal type, good size yet 
not too large, very uniform, and exceptionally attractive. Outsells all 
other corns. Very high percentage marketable. Kernels narrower 
and deeper than Golden Bantam, very tended and sweet. 
Wilt Resistance. Nearly 100% resistant to wilt. Makes nearly 
a full crop when other varieties fail completely under severe wilt. 
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 proven highly satisfactory_ when¬ 
ever length of growing season and market requirements are right. It 
ranks very high in quality and yield and well deserves its popularity. 
Our Golden Cross has been for some years 100% white tasseled 
and silked. This indicates purity of the inbred parents, care in pro¬ 
duction and resulting better yields and greater uniformity. Quaker 
Hill Golden Cross is one of the best.
