HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Early Bancross Hybrid 
WHIPCROSS 39-2 Produces cylindrical ears 7 to 9 inches 
long, with 8 to 14 rows. This hybrid has proven especially 
well adapted to use in such climates as Maryland, Delaware 
and New Jersey, and is distinctly superior to the Whipples 
Yellow from which it was developed. It is practically im¬ 
mune to wilt and makes a fine corn for market. Lb. 25c; 
12 Vi lb. $3.25; 50 lb. $12.50. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM A cross of two in- 
bred Bantams developed at the Purdue Experi¬ 
ment Station, it is midseason hybrid, typically 
4 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks 
average 6 3^ to 7 ft. in height and are sturdy and 
straight and under favorable conditions two ears 
are usually produced on each stalk. The ears 
are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 14 rows 
of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially for 
resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the remark¬ 
able uniformity of its ears. Our own trials for 
the past 5 years have failed to bring to light 
a better hybrid than this. It has been greatly 
improved since it was introduced several years 
ago, and will no doubt hold the lead for years 
to come. Lb. 25c; 12^ lb. $3.25; 50 lb. $12.50. 
PURGOLD A drought-tolerant hybrid resem¬ 
bling Golden Cross Bantam, ears uniformly 12-14 
rowed, 7-8 inches long and slightly larger than 
those of Golden Cross Bantam, and maturing in 
the same season. The ears are cylindrical and 
small cobbed. Under drought conditions it has 
done unusually well. Lb. 25c; 123^ lb. $3.25; 
50 lb. $12.50. 
BANTAM EVERGEEN HYBRID A late yellow hybrid matur¬ 
ing at Milford in about 95 days. The ears have 16 rows, 
taper slightly, with medium to dark yellow kernels. Stalks 
grow 7-8 feet tall. More wind-resistant and better yielding 
than Bantam Evergreen. Lb. 35c; 12 Yi lb. $4.00; 50 lb. 
$15.00. 
WHITE HYBRIDS 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN HYBRID Although the 
ear resembles Country Gentleman in general, 
this hybrid will be found greatly superior to the 
old variety, especially as to uniformity of size 
and maturity. Has fine deep kernels, a heavier 
root system and yields heavily. Lb. 35c; 12^ 
lb. $4.00; 50 lb. $15.00. 
STOWELLS TOPCROSS An excellent hybrid of 
the Stowells Evergreen type, noted for its great 
uniformity, depth of kernel and increased yield. 
The ears are 14 to 18 rowed, about 8 inches long. 
The stalk is 73^ to 9 feet tall. An excellent 
successor to the old Stowells variety. Lb. 35c; 
123^ lb. $4.00; 50 lb. $15.00. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID A late white hybrid, 
maturing after Stowells Topcross. The stalks are 
8 feet tall, the ears cylindrical and about 83^ 
inches long, with 12 to 16 rows of fairly deep 
kernels. Produces in normal seasons 50% to 75% 
of two-eared stalks. Lb. 35c; 12^ lb. $4.00; 
50 lb. $15.00. 
NARROW GRAIN HYBRID While its maturity 
and characteristics are almost identical with 
Narrow Grain Evergreen variety, this hybrid is 
less susceptible to lodging and disease. Through 
the elimination of barren and nubbin bearing 
stalks, this topcross easily produces 30% more 
corn than the Narrow Grain Evergreen. The 
ears are 18-26 rowed, about 73/2 inches long, 
cylindrical and well filled at the tips. Lb. 35c; 
123^ lb. $4.00; 50 lb. $15.00.
