SWEET CORN HYBRIDS 
EARLIGOLD 
The newest Hybrid developed for critical market gardeners, 
who want earliness, ear size, wilt tolerance, and improved qual¬ 
ity in a first early Hybrid. Earligold matures in 72 to 75 days, 
which is in season with Golden Hummer, Golden Sunshine and 
Golden Early Market. It produces 12-16 rowed ears, slightly 
tapering, well filled and 61/2 lo "7 inches long. Uniformity is one 
of its merits. The plants are sturdy, 5 to by 2 feet tall, with few 
suckers. In wilt-free sections production of marketable ears 
is 10% to 30% greater and in wilt-infested areas 10% to 
60 % greater than Golden Hummer, Golden Sunshine and Golden 
Early Market. 
TENDERGOLD 
A top cross of Purdue Bantam on Golden Sunshine, ears are 
cylindrical to slightly tapering, from 7 to 8 inches long. It has 10 
to 14 rows of kernels of the high quality of Golden Bantam. It 
yields more than either Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine and 
matures in 82 to 85 days, at about the same time as the Golden 
Bantam. It is very resistant to Stewart's disease, shows great 
uniformity of ears and produces a large percentage of two 
eared stalks. 
MARCROSS C6.13 
A 76-day early, yellow, wilt-resistant corn. The 7-inch to 
8 -inch ears are borne on sturdy, leafy stalks, 5 to 6 feet tall. The 
ears are slightly tapering, containing 12 to 14 rows of delicious 
golden kernels. The ears are well above the ground. This variety, 
like all hybrids, is a heavy producer, yielding 30 to 40% more 
marketable ears than most open pollenated types. Its uniformity 
in maturing is a great advantage to the market grower in the 
gathering. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
4 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks averaging 6^2 
to 7 feet, are sturdy and straight, and under favorable conditions 
two ears are usually produced on each stalk. The ears are 
about 8 in. long, 10 to 14 rowed, with tightly wrapped husk, 
which makes it resistant to ear worms. This hybrid is also noted 
for resistance to Stewart's disease and for the uniformity of its 
ears. Matures in 88 days.
