yellow varieties for home and market garden. Ears

yellow, medium, tender, sweet, and of good flavor.

ing to eating stage, 75. Ear 6 to 7 inches. Pkt., 15c;

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Introduced jointly by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and Purdue University 
Agricultural Experiment Station. Excellent for 
market gardeners. Highly resistant to Stewart's 
disease and very prolific. Stalks sturdy, with excep¬ 
tionally broad, dark green leaves. Ears 10 to 14 rowed, 
slightly lighter yellow than Golden Bantam. Pkt., 15c; 
lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 22c per lb. 
IMPROVED BANCROSS P39. Outstanding new variety, 
very heavy producer, large eared and about five days 
earlier than Golden Cross Bantam, having all of the 
qualities of the Bantam and in addition, earliness and 
larger size. We are Inclined to think that this variety 
will soon be a rival of Golden Cross Bantam. Pkt., 
15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 22c per lb. 
MARCROSS P39. We consider the earliest large-eared 
hybrid. This variety has proven very prolific, very 
vigorous in growth and for such an early variety pro¬ 
duces quite large ears. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 
10 lbs. or over, 22c per lb. 
MARKET HYBRID. Market Hybrid, according to trials 
this year, was about a 70- to 72-day corn, stalks about 
the height of Golden Early Market, 4 to 41/2 feet; ears 
6 to 7 inches long, 12- to 14-rowed, covered with thick 
husks; excellent quality. We consider this to be one 
of the very best extra-early hybrids. We believe that 
if given a trial on good rich early land this will be a 
valuable market garden variety. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs. or over, 22c per lb. 
GOLDEN GIANT. Awarded the Silver Medal for novelty

the size of Bantam and being 14- to 16-rowed gives 
nearly four times the yield per acre; richer In color, 
more delicious, equally early. The husks are striped 
with red and very heavy. Golden Giant can be highly 
recommended to the market gardener because of the 
large ears and good shipping qualities of the Corn.

by Dr. F. S. De Lue of Boston, Mass., from a product of; 
"Howling Mob crossed with Golden Bantam." Pkt.,\4
