HYBRID SWEET CORN conven 

Early Bancross Hybrid 
CARMELCROSS' A new development by the Con- 
necticut Agr. Experiment Station, and recommended 
for New England and the northeastern states. Ears 
average 12 rows of kernels and are slightly tapering 
in shape. Lb. 45c; 12% Ib. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM § A cross of two in- 
bred Bantams developed at the Purdue Experi- 
ment Station, it is midseason hybrid, typically 
4 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks 
average 6¥4 to 7 ft. in height and are sturdy and 
straight and under favorable conditions two ears 
are usually produced on each stalk. The ears 
are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 14 rows 
of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially for 
resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the re- 
markable uniformity of its ears. Our own trials 
for the past 5 years have failed to bring to light 
a better hybrid than this. It has been greatly 
improved since it was introduced several years 
ago, and will no doubt hold the lead for years 
to come. Lh. 45c; 12% Ib. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
BANTAM EVERGREEN HYBRID A late yellow hybrid matur- 
ing at Milford in about 95 days. The ears have 16 rows, 
taper slightly, with medium to dark yellow kernels. Stalks 
grow 7-8 feet tall. More wind-resistant and better yielding 
than Bantam Evergreen. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
1214 Ib. $4.25: 50 Ib. $15.00. 
GOLDENWOOD A nev, late yellow hybrid, to follow 
Golden Cross Bantam. It is also more drought and 
heat resistant, and produces a taller stalk and a 
better root system, especially under high tempera- 
ture or low moisture conditions. The ears are 
s lightly larger and longer than Golden Cross Ban- 
tam, have a tighter and longer husk, with a higher 
percentage of 14 and 16 rowed ears. The kernels 
resemble those of Golden Cross Bantam in size, 
quality and color, and the flavor is as good or better 
than Golden Cross. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 
Ib. $15.00. 
WHIPCROSS 39-2 Produces cylindrical ears 7 to 9 inches 
long, with 8 to 14 rows. This hybrid has proven especially 
well adapted to use in such climates as Maryland, Delaware 
and New Jersey, and is distinctly superior to the Whipples 
Yellow from which it was developed. It is practically im- 
mune to wilt and makes a fine corn for market. Lb. 45c; 
12% Ib. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
WHITE HYBRIDS 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN HYBRID Although the 
ear resembles Country Gentleman in general, this 
hybrid will be found greatly superior to the old 
variety, especially as to uniformity of size and 
maturity. Has fine deep kernels, a heavier root 
system and yields heavily. Lb. 55c; 12% lb., $5.00; 
50 Ib., $18.00. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID 3x33 An excellent hybrid of 
the Stowells Evergreen type, noted for its great 
uniformity, depth of kernel and increased yield. 
The ears are 14 to 18 rowed, about 8 inches long. 
The stalk is 7% to 9 feet tall. An excellent suc- 
cessor to the old Stowells variety. Lb. 45c; 12% 
lb. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID “A” A single cross of two 
Early Evergreen inbreds, which gives a large, 
cylindrical 14-18 rowed ear in Early Evergreen 
season. The ears are about 7% inches long, and 
the stalks suckerless and 7 to 8 feet tall. This 
hybrid will outyield Early Evergreen under al- 
most any conditions, and has the additional ad- 
vantage of greatly increased uniformity of ma- 
turity and type, making it more advantageous to 
the grower satisfying a white corn market. Lb. 
45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
NARROW GRAIN HYBRID While its maturity 
and characteristics are almost identical with 
Narrow Grain Evergreen variety, this hybrid is 
less susceptible to lodging and disease. Through 
the elimination of barren and nubbin bearing 
stalks, this topcross easily produces 30% more 
corn than the Narrow Grain Evergreen. The 
ears are 18-26 rower, about 8-9 inches long, 
cylindrical and well filled at the tips. Lb. 45c;
