Better Sweet Corns For Better Growers a 
Every hybrid in our 1941 list is a proven money maker. Scores of unsolicited letters from customers and perform- 
ance records in station tests confirm this statement. Spancross which we offered first last season, won an “All America” 
award for superiority in the extra early class. Magnagold, a new late hybrid, first offered this season, outyielded in weight 
of husked ears all other hybrids in two years tests at one experiment station. Ripening between these extremes, we offer five 
other proven producers of high yields of fine quality large ears that sell fast at top prices. All of them are wilt resistant and 
So may be grown successfully where susceptible hybrids would fail miserably. All lots test 90% germination or better. Our 
seed is thoroly recleaned, graded.and treated with Semesan Jr. 
Please read the descriptions carefully. See the planting suggestions, page 2. Remember our hybrids are produced 
with care and understanding resulting from experience and study since hybrid sweet corns were first introduced. 
Hybrid Sweet Corns 
NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening pe- 
riods are approximate for most of New York and adjacent areas. Near the Atlantic 
seaboard longer periods are required. Very early plantings require longer and late 
plantings require shorter periods. Moisture and temperature variations from normal 
affect the period. 
SPANCROSS. 58 to 62 days here, 26 earlier than Golden Cross. 
This is a new hybrid and should not be confused with Spancross C2, 
Spancross C6 or Spancross P39, which are no longer recommended. 
Ears. 6%” to 7” x 1.6”, slightly tapering, 10° to 12 rowed, very 
uniform. Kernels medium size, light yellow, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. Prolific producer. Almost as many ears as Golden Cross 
but smaller. Stalks 4’ to 5’. 
Remarks. Earlier and better than Golden Early Market. Produces 
larger and usually more ears than Seneca 60 and rates better quality. 
Cold resistance permits earlier planting and wins those first-on-the- 
market high prices. Earliness and prolificacy are its advantages. 
Every market and home gardener should plant Spancross this year 
for his earliest pickings but do not use it for later pickings. 
MARCROSS. (Formerly our Whip-Marcross C6.13) 62 to 66 days 
here, 4 later than Spancross, a day or so later than Golden Early 
Market, 6 to 12 earlier than Whipple’s Early Yellow. 
Ears. 74%” to 8” x 1.7” to 1.9”, nearly cylindrical, mostly 12 
rowed, uniform in ripening and appearance. Kernels good depth, 
fairly broad, light golden, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. 25% to 60% more marketable ears than Golden Early 
Market. Ears much larger than most early corns — larger than 
Whipple’s Yellow, fully as large as Golden Cross. Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
Remarks. This hybrid is a money maker. It not only makes the 
early markets but its fine big ears bring premium prices. No other 
hybrid as early can compete with it, especially in wilt areas. Planted at 
the same time as Spancross it ripens when that is done. 
CARMELCROSS. 68 to 72 days here, 6 days later than Marcross, 
16 days earlier than Golden Cross. 
Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed. Kernels 
like Golden Cross but deeper, light golden, tender, very good flavor. 
Yields. In 1940 station tests, Carmelcross produced from 12% 
to 30% more marketable ears than Marcross and the ears averaged 
‘as large. It also proved superior to all others in its own maturity class. 
Remarks. Carmelcross has proved itself an excellent hybrid in 
all respects. It should replace others in its maturity period. Planted. 
with Marcross it is ready for use when Marcross is finished. 
BAN-MARCROSS. 70 to 74 days here, 8 days later than Marcross, 
14 days earlier than Golden Cross. 
Fars. 7” to 74%" x 1.5” to 1.7”, 10 to 12 rowed. Kernels broad. 
Good appearance and excellent quality. 
Yields. Equal to or better than most of the hybrids in its matur- 
ity class. Not quite equal to Carmelcross. Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
Remarks. We recommend this hybrid for the home gardener and 
roadside stands because of its quality and longer ripening period. 
QUAKER HILL XL. 82 to 86 days here, 14 later than Carmel- 
cross, 2 earlier than Golden Cross. 
Ears. 7%” to 8%" x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed, good 
type. Kernels like Golden Cross, light golden, very tender, sweet and 
with real Bantam flavor. 
Yields. Usually about 10% better yield than Carmelcross and 5% 
better than most strains of Golden Cross. Stalks 6’ to 7’. i 
Remarks. Slightly earlier, ears a little larger and usually a little 
better yield than Golden Cross. This hybrid has ranked high in certain 
experiment station “blind-fold” tests of tenderness, sweetness and 
flavor. It is ideal for trade that appreciates quality. 
We recommend several plantings of Quaker Hill at 5 to 7 day 
intervals, beginning as early as safe and continuing until 80 days be- 
fore your average fall frost date. It is easy to gain and hold regular 
trade with this fine hybrid. And it pays.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. 84 to 88 days here. 
ars. 17” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, practically cylindrical, 12 rowed, ex- 
cellent type for market or canning, fine appearance and uniformity. 
Yields. Better than any of the preceding hybrids except Quaker 
Hill XL and usually 50% to 100% better than any open pollinated 
corns ripening as early or earlier. Stalks 6’ to 7’. 
Remarks. Our supply of Golden Cross will not hold out. If or- 
dering please state whether or not you wish us to substitute Quaker 
Hill XL if out of Golden Cross. 
MAGNAGOLD. (Previously called A2-93) 90 to 94 days here, 6 
days later than Golden Cross. 
Ears. 8%” to 9%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 14 to 16 rowed, cylindrical, well 
filled. Impressively large but surprisingly tender, sweet and well 
flavored. Kernels rich golden, deep. 
Yields. Number of ears slightly more than Golden Cross. Weight 
of ears 30% to 40% more, occasionally 50% more. Stalks 7’ to 8’. 
Remarks. This is the bigger and later sweet corn needed for 
many markets and by canners where seasons are long enough. It is 
more resistant to wilt, heat and drought than Golden Cross. 
Because of small supply, orders for this hybrid will be limited to 
20 lbs. each. . 
Grades 
To permit more accurate planting, the seed is graded:— 
LARGE FLAT—not over 14/64” thick, not less than 19/64” wide. 
MEDIUM FLAT—not over 13/64” thick, 17/64” to 19/64” wide. 
LARGE ROUND—19/64” to 23/64” diameter. 
MEDIUM ROUND—17/64” to 19/64” diameter. 
Experience to date indicates that the above grades are equally 
productive, provided spacing is the same. Both flat kernel grades are 
priced the same and as in the table below. The round kernel grades 
are 5c per lb. lower. Large flat kernels will be shipped unless your 
order specifies another grade. Supply of the medium sizes is quite 
limited, so it will be well to mention a substitute for either of them. 
AVERAGE PLANTING RATES 
To plant 20,000 kernels per acre which is very close to 4 kernels every three feet 
in rows 3 feet apart, will require the amounts shown below for the seed offered 
this season.
