with Our Hybrid Sweet Corn 
* CERTIFIED GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HY¬ 
BRID: 83 days. 220 kernels per ounce. In tests 
made by State Experiment Station, from New Hamp¬ 
shire to Oregon, our white tassel Golden Cross leads 
all other strains of this variety in quality and uni¬ 
formity. Our strain shows no red sun color on the 
husks, a characteristic that makes the ears of some 
strains appear to be old. 
Golden Cross is one of the most disease resistant 
varieties that we have tested and produces excellent 
crops in sections where Bacterial Wilt has been the 
worst. 
Stalk 6 feet tall. Ears 8 inches long with 10 to 14 
rows of broad medium yellow kernels. In tests by 
one of our leading canners Robson Golden Cross held 
on the stalk in edible condition longer than other 
strains. 
The kernels of the seed parent used in making this 
cross are small so it is very necessary that the grower 
shall not plant too thickly. 
Golden Cross is a true hybrid and we have to make 
the cross each year. You cannot save seed and pro¬ 
duce a satisfactory crop from it. Our seed is New 
York State certified. Pkt. 10 cts.; yi lb. 20 cts.; 
lb. 35 cts.; 6 lbs. $1.85; 12 lbs. $3.65, Prepaid. 
100 lbs. $28.50, Not prepaid. 5 to 6 lbs. will plant 
1 acre. 
Every ear of Robson seed corn 
is hand husked direct from the 
standing stalk and air dried in 
special crates. The ears then 
pass over roller conveyors 
where specially trained girls 
remove all ears that do not ->■ 
meet our standards of quality. 
The perfect ears are then put 
into a special room where cir¬ 
culating warm air dries the 
corn to the proper percentage of 
moisture.

What Hudson River Valley Growers think of Robson Hybrid Corn 
“I am much interested in Seneca “60”. I found its associate 
Seneca Golden very choice last year.”

“I have used your Hybrid corn for three years and have 
found it far superior to any corn I have ever grown.” 
“I gave your Hybrid corn trial last year and was very much 
pleased with the results; so I have increased my order of your 
seed to 200 lbs. this year.”

H. W. Bermender, Manager of the Mid-Hudson G. L. F. 
Produce Auction of Highland, New York, says: “On July 10, 
one of our patrons, Jacob Parnett of Kingston, N. Y., sold 
through the Mid-Hudson Coop. G. L. F. Produce Auction, 
Highland, N. Y., 48 bags of 50 ears each of Seneca “60” at 85 
cents per bag or $1.70 per hundred ears. I believe this to be the 
first sweet corn from this section to go on any commercial 
market. This corn was well filled and ready for the market. 
Is this a record?” 
“American Agriculturist” August 13, 1938 
“I’ve always had a high estimation of your sweet corn be¬ 
cause of its quality and the price it brings a local grower who 
ships to New York.” 
March 18, 1938 Robert S. Budd, 
Phillipsport, N. Y. 
“We tried your Seneca Golden last year. It turned out very 
well and made an excellent impression on our market.”
