such trouble in growing Sweet Corn, by all means 
plant Golden Cross this season. This remarkable

sweet corn since Golden Bantam was introduced. It 
is a bright yellow, 12-rowed corn with 8-inch ears, 
borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully 
equal to Golden Bantam in every way, matures six 
days later and is two to three times as productive.

Important READ 
During the past few years in 
certain sections of the country a 
disease has developed in Golden 
Bantam types of Sweet Corn 
known as Bacterial Wilt or Stew¬ 
art’s Disease. Stewart’s Disease 
causes the stalk to wither from 
the tip to the root, having the 
appearance of being frosted and 
eventually falls down. In many 
instances this disease has com¬ 
pletely damaged entire crops. To 
all of you who have encountered 
Stewart’s Disease in your fields 
we highly recommend to you our 
special varieties of Hybrid and 
Inbred Sweet Corn listed on this 
page. Hybrid Sweet Corn and 
Inbred varieties are much more 
expensive to produce than open- 
pollinated types, nevertheless, on 
infested areas troubled with Wilt 
or Stewart’s Disease we recom 
mend them as being the best and 
most profitable to plant.
