New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
We offer these, after careful checking and comparisons, 
as the finest developed so far. The first three are the same 
as recommended by Connecticut Agricultural Station. 
Marcross C13.6. The best early hybrid to date. The 
5-foot stalks produce 8-inch, 10 to 14-rowed, 
golden yellow ears well filled to the tip in 74 to 
77 days, or almost as early as Golden Early 
Market. As both parents are highly disease- 
resistant, Marcross C13.6 is doubly protected 
against disease. Well over 85 per cent of the at¬ 
tractive ears are usually marketable. 
Carmelcross (Marcross C13.P39). An excellent new 
hybrid of unusually high quality. The deep yel¬ 
low, 10 to 14-rowed, 8-inch ears come on stalks 
6 feet high. They are ready to pick in 78 to 82 
days, just nicely following Marcross C13.6. This 
strain is very highly disease-resistant. Topping 
all its other fine points, is the very high eating 
quality and delicious sweet flavor. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uni¬ 
form. This applies also to the 8-inch, 10 to 14- 
rowed yellow ears which mature all at one time 
in 88 to 90 days. The tightly wrapped husks resist 
ear-worms. Will outyield all others even under 
adverse conditions. Is 95 per cent immune. 
Top Cross Sunshine or Tendergold. Has only one hybrid 
parent. The golden yellow, 73^-inch ears, 10 to 14- 
rowed, mature in from 80 to 85 days. 
First Early 
Golden Early Market, Gill’s (also called Golden 
Hummer). This is the earliest large, golden Sweet 
Corn, earlier and larger than Golden Sunshine 
and 2 weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. The 
large ears are tightly filled with large, sweet 
kernels of exceptional flavor. This outstanding 
Corn will bring the best early market prices. The 
stalks grow 5 feet high and the ears, 7 inches long, 
are 12 to 14-rowed and ready in 72 to 75 days. 
Early Varieties 
Whipple’s Yellow. Matures in 82 to 87 days and 
grows golden yellow ears 7 to 8 inches long and 
12 to 16-rowed, with often two ears to a 6-foot 
stalk. The quality is excellent. 
Late Varieties 
Golden Cross Bantam Corn 
Bantam Evergreen. A cross between Golden 
Bantam and StowelPs Evergreen. Ready 
in 90 to 95 days; 8-inch golden yellow ears, 
12-rowed, filled with big, deep grains. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears, 7 to 9 inches long 
and 18-rowed, are white, remaining in a 
green state for a long period. The stalks 
grow 7)4 feet. Ready in 95 to 100 days.
