GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID. While this original hy¬ 
brid variety still leads the group in yield per acre, new va¬ 
rieties have been developed that mature earlier at the ex¬ 
pense of production. We still strongly recommend Golden 
Cross Bantam, believing it to be as good as one would want 
for the home garden and for maximum production of ears. 
However, if as a market gardener, you are out after the 
earliest production and want to get on the market with sweet 
corn before your neighbor, then we suggest that you plant 
either Marcross or Improved Bancross, listed below. Golden 
Cross Bantam matures in about 90 days, yields double that 
of Golden Bantam; twelve rows to the ear. In trial plantings 
it yielded 20,000 ears to the acre. A trifle lighter in color 
than Golden Bantam. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. 
$3.50. 
IMPROVED BANCROSS. Excellent flavor, good size ears, yields 
slightly below that of Golden Cross Bantam. Matures in about 
85 days. Like all the hybrid sweet corns, Bancross matures 
and is ready for picking more simultaneously. Two pickings 
will clean the field, resulting in a quick clean-up of the crop. 
You will find Bancross, like the other hybrid varieties, more 
profitable to plant than the old varieties. Pkt. 15c; Vz lb. 
35c; lb. 60c. Ask for quantity price. 
MARCROSS. This is the earliest maturing of the hybrid va¬ 
rieties. First picking can be made about the 80th day. Yield 
is slightly under that of Bancross. Quality of the corn very 
good. Color the same as Bancross and Golden Cross, light 
yellow. Pkt. 15c; Vz lb. 35c; lb. 60c. Ask for quantity 
price. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. One of the best extra early yellow 
varieties for home and market garden. Ears have strong 
husks; 8 to 1 2 rowed. Kernels golden-yellow, medium, ten¬ 
der, sweet and of good flavor. Very prolific for so early a 
variety. Matures in 75 days from planting which is 5 days 
earlier than Golden Bantam. Prices at top of page. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. The best known and most favorably known

CULTURE. Reasonably good soil that is fully exposed to the 
sun will raise a good crop of Cucumbers. Every family should be 
supplied from its home garden, since the fruit is so much better 
when gathered fresh from the vines as desired for use than it 
is in the more or less wilted condition in which it is found on 
the market. Cucumbers are close relatives of melons but mature 
in about 60 days and may be brought to maturity with little 
trouble in the home garden. The seeds must be sown after the 
ground becomes warm, and the plants thinned to three or four 
to the hill. A very rich soil is the best precaution against insects 
and the blight. The striped beetle should be kept away from 
the young plants with liberal applications of powdered DUTOX. 
Dust the under side of the leaves with NICO-DUST to kill 
aphis. See page 18.
