Enjoy Sweet Corn All Summer — Its Appetizing, Healthful And Economical 
Quaker Hill Hijbrid Srueel Corn 
SEE PRICES ON PAGE 5 
They actually yield 25% to 100% more than the old favorites, are 
much more uniform, have high quality and most of them are resistant 
to the dread wilt disease. The seed is produced by controlled cross 
pollination of two or more specially bred strains. The seed costs 
more, but results justify the cost many times over. Hybrid sweet 
corns are rapidly displacing the old kinds. 
We offer hybrids that ripen at different times, each one oj the 
best available in its ripening period. One can choose those that best 
suit his market or can provide a continuous supply from early to late 
by planting at one time several that will ripen in succession and then 
follow with successive plantings of a late one. 
In the brief descriptions given below, the maturity dates are 
approximate for this section and naturally vary with locality and sea¬ 
son. They are compai'able with Golden Bantam at 80 days. For more 
complete descriptions, planting suggestions and directions for control¬ 
ling corn borer and earworm, ask for our Sweet Corn Circular. 
Yellow Hybrids - Mostly 12-rowed, some 12 to 16 rowed. 
SPANCROSS-60 days, 26 earlier than Golden Cross, several days 
ahead of Golden Early Market. A new and better quality hybrid than 
Spancross C2, P39 and others. Very resistant to wilt. Prolific yielder 
of very uniform, attractive, medium sized 10 to 12 rowed ears. This 
is the earliest wilt resistant hybrid on the market. Every gardener 
should plant some Spancross. 
COCKCROW - 64 days. Of the real early hybrids, this is one of the 
best in yield, size, market type and quality. Susceptible to wilt. Should 
be used cnly north of 42nd parallel. 
MARCROSS - 64 days. Earlier than Golden Early Market, 22 days 
ahead of Golden Cross. Larger ears, better yield than preceding. 
Definitely wilt resistant. A money maker for market gardener and 
road side stand operators, and a source of pride and joy for home 
gardeners. 
BAN-MARCROSS - "Id days. Later, larger, heavier yielder, 
better quality than preceding. Wilt resistance about 85% to 95%. 
Recommended to replace Gemcross, Whipeross C6.2, Suncross or Ten- 
dergold and other mid-season hybrids. 
CARMELCROSS - 'i'4 days. A new hybrid, very much like Golden 
Cross but 12 days earlier. Fine appearance and quality. Wilt resist¬ 
ant. Should replace Whipeross C6.2. 
QUAKER HILL XL - 84 days. Outstanding in sweetness, flavor 
and tenderness. Usually produces slightly more and larger ears than 
Golden Cross. Not quite so uniform. A favorite with home gardeners 
and road side stand operators. Resistant to wilt. Try it. 
GOLDEN CROSS - 86 days. Has proved highly satisfactory where 
length of season and market requirements are satisfactory. Very 
resistant to wilt. Quaker Hill Golden Cross in experiment station 
trials, has for several years averaged around 10% better yields than 
the average of the Golden Cross samples from other sources in the 
trials. It is one of the few that shows 100% white tassels and silks, 
indicating purity and care in production.

Seed Potatoes 
Seed potato value depends mostly on (1) freedom from diseases 
carried in the tuber, (2) the breeding back of the strain and (3) con¬ 
dition of the seed. The first two cannot be told by appearances, yet 
are most important. The buyer must depend on the certification tag 
and the word of the seller. 
All of the certified lots are from fields reported by the inspectors 
either free or very nearly free of virus diseases. The not certified lots 
were growm from certified seed and especially for seed use. All lots 
are backed by years of careful breeding. They are northern grown, 
w’ell stored, well graded and guaranteed to reach you in satisfactory 
condition. 
NEW VARIETIES 
In recent years, more new varieties of potatoes have been intro¬ 
duced than in the preceding 50 years. On the basis of their perform¬ 
ance records in numerous trials, Warba, Chippewa, Katahdin, and 
Houma deserve recognition in this area. Growers should not be too 
slow in adopting them. See prices page 5. 
WARBA - Originated by crossing at the Minnesota Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station in 1926. Ten to 14 days earlier than Cobbler and has 
generally outyielded it on both mineral and muck soils in many parts 
of the Country. Quality is very good. It resembles Cobbler, but has 
pink eyes. Mosaic resistant; susceptible to scab, leaf roll, etc. 
Warba has everything that Cobbler has and in addition, yields 
more and is definitely earlier. Better plant Warba for your summer 
supply and to market, too. We offer Maine certified. 
IRISH COBBLER - For many years the main early potato. Round, 
white, deep eyed tuber of excellent quality. We have found Prince 
Edward Island Cobbler seed most satisfactory. We offer certified 
seed from there and not certified Cobblers grown here from P. E. 1. 
certified seed. 
CHIPPEWA - Week later than Cobbler, week earlier than Green 
Mountain and Katahdin, 2 weeks earlier than the Rurals. Beautiful 
white, flattened potato with few and shallow eyes. Cooks white and 
firm, not mealy as most people like. Excellent for chipping and French 
frying. Seems well adapted to all soils and sections of the Northern 
States. It is resistant to mild mosaic, susceptible to scab like Cobbler, 
more susceptible than the Rurals. Has made splendid yield records. 
We offer N. Y. certified seed. 
HOUMA - Another hybrid seedling from the U. S. Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture. Mid-season potato with same requirements of cool moist sea¬ 
son as Green Mountain. Tubers are shorter and rounder. Houma out- 
yielded Green Mountains in Long Island and Northern New York 
tests in both ’39 and ’40. Last season in college tests at Ithaca it 
outyielded Chippewa and Katahdin and approximately tied with Green 
Mountain. It has not equalled the Rurals in Western New York. We 
offer surplus stock from our increased plot. 
GREEN MOUNTAINS - Mid-season variety. Requires cool moist 
climate for best yields. We have Prince Edward Island certified seed. 
KATAHDIN - Matures with Green Mountain or a few days later, a 
week earlier than Rurals. Fine appearing, white-skinned, round, 
flattened potato of very good quality. Mosaic resistant, scab suscepti¬ 
ble. Sets lightly but develops nearly all No. 1 size potatoes. Grown 
extensively in Maine and liked here tho yield records so far have not 
been so good as Chippewa. We offer N. Y. certified seed, U. S. No. 1 
and also a commercial grade from a lot that meets all c-'rtification re¬ 
quirements except grade. Too many wire worm holes. But worms 
are not carried over in the seed so real seed value is not affected. 
New York does not certify Commercial grade. 
RUSSET RURAL - Deep rooted hardy late potato that yields well 
under adverse conditions. Under favorable conditions it has made re¬ 
cord yields in the East. We offer N. Y. certified U. S. No. 1 and 
Mich, certified U. S. No. 1 and Commercial grade. Michigan certifies 
Commercial grade this year. Seasonal conditions caused too many 
second growth shapes in certain lots to meet U. S. No. 1 requirements. 
These shape characteristics will not be transmitted to the next crop. 
WHITE RURALS - Smooth or White Rurals have same adaptations 
as R.ussets. Preference over Russets is increasing. Usually outyields 
Chippewa, Katahdin and all others in Western New York. We offer 
N. Y. certified seed. 
Sprinq Wheal 
Requires cool climate. Should be planted as early as possible. 
SARTOV -A new introduction. Has outyielded other varieties in New 
York tests and is recommended by the College plant breeders. White 
kernels and chaff. Beardless; stiff straw. 
MARQUIS - Best in the West. Similar to Sartov but has red kernels. 
Buckwheat 
Valuable as a substitute where other plantings have missed, also 
to plow under and for bee pasture. See prices page 5. 
JAPANESE - Larger plant, larger kernel, larger yield. Requires 
better ground. Better for cover crop. 3 to 4 pecks per acre. 
SILVER HULL - Smaller plant, smaller kernel. Better flour and 
feed. 2 to 3 pks. per acre.
