HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Early Bancross Hybrid 
WH1PCROSS 39-2 Produces c - lindrical ears 7 to 9 inches 
long, with 8 to 14 rows. This hybrid has proven especially 
well adapted to use in such climates as Maryland, Delaware 
and New Jersey, and is distinctly superior to the Whipples 
Yellow from which it was developed. It is practically im¬ 
mune to wilt and makes a fine corn for market. Lb. 45c; 
12*4 lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15 00. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM A cross of two in¬ 
bred Bantams developed at the Purdue Experi¬ 
ment Station, it is midseason hybrid, typically 
4 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks 
average 6% to 7 ft. in height and are sturdy and 
straight and under favorable conditions two ears 
are usually produced on each stalk. The ears 
are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 14 rows 
of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially for 
resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the re¬ 
markable uniformity of its ears. Our own trials 
for the past 5 years have failed to bring to light 
a better hybrid than this. It has been greatly 
improved since it was introduced several years 
ago, and will no doubt hold the lead for years i 
to come. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00. 
PURGOLD A drought-tolerant hybrid resembling Golden 
Cross Bantam, ears uniformly 12-14 rowed, 7-8 inches long 
and slightly larger than those of Golden Cross Bantam, 
and maturing in the same season. The ears are cylindrical 
and small cobbed. Under drought conditions it has done 
unusually well. Lb. 40c; 12^4 lb. $3.50; 50 lb. $12.50. 
BANTAM EVERGREEN HYBRID A late yellow hybrid matur¬ 
ing at Milford in about 95 days. The ears have 16 rows, 
taper slightly, with medium to dark yellow kernels. Stalks 
grqw 7-8 feet tall. More wind-resistant and better yielding 
than Bantam Evergreen. Lb. 45c; 1 2/ 2 lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00. 
WHITE HYBRIDS 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN HYBRID Although the 
ear resembles Country Gentleman in general, this 
hybrid will be found greatly superior to the old 
variety, especially as to uniformity of size and 
maturity. Has fine deep kernels, a heavier root 
system and yields heavily. Sold out. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID 3x33 An excellent hybrid of 
the Stowells Evergreen type, noted for its great 
uniformity, depth of kernel and increased yield. 
1 he ears are 14 to 18 rowed, about 8 inches long. 
1 he stalk is 7% to 9 feet tall. An excellent suc¬ 
cessor to the o d Stowells variety. Lb. 45c; 12% 
lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID "A" A single cross of two 
Early Evergreen inbreds, which gives a large, 
cylindrical 14-18 rowed ear in Early Evergreen 
season. The ears are about 7% inches long, and 
the stalks suckerless and 7 to 8 feet tall. This 
hybrid will outyield Early Evergreen under al¬ 
most any conditions, and has the additional ad¬ 
vantage of greatly increased uniformity of ma¬ 
turity and type, making it more advantageous to 
the grower satisfying a white corn market. Lb. 
45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00. 
NARROW GRAIN HYBRID While its maturity 
and characteristics are almost identical with 
Narrow Grain Evergreen variety, this hybrid is 
less susceptible to lodging and disease. Through 
the elimination of barren and nubbin bearing 
stalks, this topeross easily produces 30% more 
corn than the Narrow Grain Evergreen. The 
ears are 18-26 rowed, about 7% inches long, 
cylindrical and well filled at the tips. Lb. 45c ; 
12 % lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.
