Better Corn Plant Hybrids 
. ee —— 

Seed Corn must receive special attention if it is to produce strong, healthy plants. Robson Hybrid Corn seed is husked from the stand- 
ing stalk, air dried in these crates and then finished off in specially built mechanical dryers. This insures you of seed of high vitality. 
HYBRID SWEEET CORN 
*CERTIFIED GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM: 83 
days, 220 kernels per oz. In tests made by State 
Experiment Stations, from New Hampshire to 
Oregon, our white tassel Golden Cross leads all 
other strains of this variety in quality and uni- 
formity. Our strain shows no red sun color on the 
husks, a characteristic that makes the ears of some 
strains appear to be old. 
Golden Cross is one of the most disease resistant 
varieties that we have tested and produces excellent 
crops in sections where Bacterial Wilt has been the 
worst. 
Stalk 6 feet tall. Ears 8 inches long with 10 to 14 
rows of broad medium yellow kernels. In tests by 
one of our leading canners, Robson Golden Cross held 
on the stalk in edible condition longer than other 
strains. 
The kernels of the seed parent used in making this 
cross are small, so it is very necessary that the grower 
does not plant too thickly. 
Golden Cross is a true hybrid and we have to make 
the cross each year. You cannot save seed and pro- 
duce a satisfactory crop from it. Our seed is New
