For Bigger Yields and 

One reason why Hybrid seed corn costs more is because of the labor it takes to produce the seed. In order to insure pure crossed seed 
the tassels must be removed daily during the silking period from the seed parents. Here is our crew of 25 women breaking off tassels 
in a 1940 field of Robson Golden Cross seed.

HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Plant after danger of frost, either in hills 30 to 36 
inches apart and 2 to 3 seeds per hill or in rows 30 to 36 
inches apart and 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. 
Golden Cross is a very vigorous grower and seems to do 
better in rows than hills.

*SENECA ‘60°’: 60 days, 150 kernels per oz. A 
new extra early yellow hybrid that we have been 
developing for several years. Seneca ‘60°’ under 
favorable conditions is ready to eat in sixty days 
from planting. Of course if it is planted very early, 
while ground is still cold, it will take a few days 
more to mature. 
This new hybrid is very prolific usually producing 
two and many times three ears per stalk. The stalk 
is 4 to 4% feet tall. Ears 6 inches long, slender, 8 to 
10 rowed. Kernels yellow, medium wide and fair 
quality. The earliest of all hybrids. Seneca “60” is

SENECA GOLDEN: 72 days, 220 kernels per oz. 
Seneca Golden is a hybrid and might be described as 
an early Golden Cross. The stalks grow 5% feet tall 
and produce two marketable ears on practically every 
stalk. The ears are nearly as large as Golden Cross 
and well filled clear to the tip. The kernels are a 
rich golden yellow and if harvested when ready are 
of excellent quality. Like all hybrids you cannot 
save the seed and produce a satisfactory crop.
