HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Golden Cross Bantam. A cross of two inbred 
Bantams developed at the Purdue Experiment 
Station; it is a midseason hybrid, typically 4 to 8 
2 ES % 

Golden Cross Bantam 
days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks average 
6 feet in height and are sturdy and straight, and 
under favorable conditions two ears are usually 
produced on each stalk. The ears are about 8 
inches long and have 10 to 14 rows of kernels. 
This hybrid is noted especially for its resistance 
to Stewart’s disease and for the remarkable 
uniformity of its ears. Tests conducted over a 
period of three years in 23 states show that 
Golden Cross Bantam will give an average of 
26% greater yield of marketablé ears than 
SENCROSS_ This topcross produces 12-16 rowed 
slightly tapering to tapering ears 7-10 in. long; 
is 2-3 days later than Tendergold and in the same 
season as Whipples. This hybrid produces about 
40%, more than Tendergold or Early Yellow 
Sensation and as much or more than Whipples. 
It is easly superior to Whipples in uniformity, 
color and resistance to bacterial wilt. Lb. 35c; 
121% lb. $4.00; 50 Ib. $15.00. 






Golden Bantam. Our trials for two years showed 
a yield of about 65% more than Golden Bantam. 
Pkt. 10c ; 1 Ib., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00 
Tendergold. The earlier of our two hybrids, it 
is a top cross of Purdue Bantam on Golden Sun- 
shine. It has 10 to 14 rows of kernels of the 
Golden Bantam type and of highest quality. It 
yields more than either Golden Bantam or Golden 
Sunshine, and matures at about the same time 
as Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to 
Stewart’s disease, shows great uniformity of ears, 
and produces a large percentage of two-eared 
stalks. Pkt., 15¢; 1 lb., 25c3 5 lbs., $1.00. 
RESISTANT TO STEWART’S WILT 
During the past few years, corn growers have 
suffered much loss from Stewart’s disease or wilt. 
No means has been found of combating the dis- 
ease, and the only way to avoid it seems to be to 
plant only varieties or hybrids which show re- 
sistance to the wilt. 
We take pride in the high quality of the two hy- 
brids which were grown this past season on Mil- 
ford farms, and which are described below. 
Growing these hybrids for seed is an expensive 
proposition, with a great deal of scientific know- 
ledge and hand labor necessary, and the prices 
may seem high to you. But you must remember 
that you will save nothing by buying ordinary 
ear if you lose your crop through Stewart’s 
wilt. 
Our supplies are limited, and we reserve the right 
to refuse orders when our stocks are exhausted.
