Cross Bantam, ears about the same length, 7 to 8 
inches. There are usually 12 rows of golden yellow

later than Spanish Gold, is more wilt-resistant, 
produces higher yields, and is better quality. About 
a week earlier than Golden Cross Bantam.

Days. Grains medium length, color white. Height 
of stalk 5 to 5| ft. Ears medium in length, thick, 
averaging 6 to 7 inches, short pointed. Rows mostly

fortunately, it is not resistant to Stewart’s Wilt 
Disease. * 
★WHIPCROSS P39 (Whipple’s Yellow Top 
Cross)—83 Days. Grains medium length, golden 
yellow in color. The height of stalk is about the same 
as Whipple’s Yellow, as well as the length, thickness 
of the ear and the number of rows of kernels. It is 
somewhat resistant to wilt, and therefore produces a 
greater yield than Whipple’s Yellow. It is uniform 
in maturing, and the crop is of good quality, better 
than open-pollinated Whipple’s Yellow. This 
variety is about 3 to 5 days earlier than Golden 
Cross Bantam. 
★WHIPCROSS 6.2—80 Days. This is another 
Whipple Cross, becoming very popular as an early 
sweet corn. 
★WHIPCROSS 39.2—83 Days. One of the best 
of the early Hybrids. 
Hybrid Corn must be produced each year by 
crossing, and will not give satisfactory results 
unless this is done. Do not try to save your own 
Hybrid seed.

CORN 
Plant 7 to 12 pounds to the acre or about one bushel (56 pounds), to 5 acres. Originally a native 
of North and South America. Was grown in Peru centuries ago. We feel that our regular stocks 
of Field Corn are superior in quality and germination to the usual strains grown, as they are all grown in 
Bucks County, Pa., one of the four best corn counties. Our Hybrid Field Corn is grown elsewhere. It is 
all grown from the best hand selected, tipped stock which we select from the various fields which we are 
growing in this neighborhood. Landreths’ stock should not be compared with the cheap field corn, as our 
aim is to produce better quality, regardless of price.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THE HYBRIDS OF FIELD CORN ARE MARKED WITH A STAR ★ 
These corns are becoming increasingly popular every year. They are uniform in growth and ripening, and 
produce larger yields per acre than regular open-poliinated corn only when adapted. We offer for sale only 
the varieties which are adapted to the territories of our customers. Be sure that the Hybrid variety of field 
corn which you purchase is adapted to your location or very disappointing results may be obtained. 
Be sure to plant some of our Hybrid Sweet Corn marked with a star (★).
