HYBRID SWEET CORN —Wilt Resistant Hybrids 
One of the most successful and interesting plant breeding achievements of recent years is 
the production of hybrid sweet corns that actually yield 25 per cent to over 100 per cent more 
than the old favorites, and that are amazingly uniform and of wonderful quality. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Shows great ability 
to withstand wilt and adverse weather con¬ 
ditions. Has large, uniform golden ears, 
and matures in about 95 days. Pkt. 10c., 
34 lb. 25c., lb. 40c.

turity 90 days. Ears 12-14 rowed, and 8-9

Bantam succumbs to bacterial wilt (Stew¬ 
art’s Disease). Compares favorably with 
the Evergreens in canning cost. Pkt. 10c.,

Early Bancross. This topcrossed Bantam 
is produced from an especially selected, 
large eared strain of 8-rowed Golden Ban¬ 
tam. It produces 8-14 rowed, cylindrical 
ears of good quality and color, and matures 
3-4 days earlier than other available stocks 
of topcrossed Bantam. It carries a high 
resistance to bacterial wilt. Pkt. 10c., 34 
lb. 15c., 34 lb. 25c., lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.75. 
HYBRID FIELD CORN 
Blight, drought and wilt resistant. It is reported that 75 per cent of the com grown in the 
Great American Corn Belt is of hybrid varieties. Much work has been done by the scientists 
on corn in the corn belt. Here in the East we have watched and awaited developments, trying 
out the various varieties on a conservative scale. We are now happy to report that some of 
these hybrid varieties do exceedingly well in Lycoming County. 
K 23 Hybrid Field Corn. The past season the K 23 was tried out in numerous locations in 
Lycoming County showing excellent results. K 23 is a corn of nice height, leafy and with 
deep and spreading roots. At harvest time it was not lodged. This corn produced a yield 
of over 15 per cent over high grade open pollinated White Cap Yellow Dent. Like most 
hybrids, K 23 fills out to the tip of the ear, the kernels are deep, 16 to 18 rows, the cob small. 
An ideal husking corn for Lycoming County. Bu. $7.50.
