Quality Sweet Corn Seed for 1942 
We are able to offer the home and market gardener for 
1942 what we believe to be the best of the sweet corn hybrids 
for their respective seasons of maturity, and, in addition, a very 
high quality strain of open-pollinated Golden Bantam which 
we have developed ourselves. The hybrids range from 
“extremely early” to “late mid-season” in time of maturity. 
Included in the list of hybrids are two “All-American” seed 
selections. Spancross received this honor award for 1941 and 
Lincoln, a new Whipcross, for 1942. The Lincoln hybrid is, in 
our opinion, the best Whipcross yet developed and replaces the 
Whipcross P39.2 which we have offered previously. 
Our acreage of hybrid sweet corn is probably the largest 
in Connecticut grown for seed purposes and we offer only that 
seed for sale. We do not sell seed from other sources. This 
policy assures, as far as possible, that our customers will receive 
seed properly crossed, high in germination and true to variety. 
We do not substitute varieties unless authorized to do so by the 
customer. 
In as much as shortages are anticipated in some of the 
hybrids this season, we respectfully suggest that orders be 
placed early. 
The Spancross, Marcross and Carmelcross hybrids are out- 
standing in their seasons of maturity. If all three are planted 
at the same time, they will give a continuous harvest of about 
two weeks. They may be followed by Lincoln and Golden Cross 
Bantam or later plantings of Carmelcross. The new “All- 
American” Lincoln hybrid compares favorably with Golden 
Cross Bantam, is several days earlier and has a slightly larger 
ear. Our strain of Golden Bantam (not a hybrid) is a true 
8-rowed type and is the best strain of this variety to come to our 
attention. 
To make our seed more satisfactory for those of our custom- 
ers who plant by machine, we have purchased the necessary 
equipment to separate round from flat kernels and make more 
precise grades of each. The two grades of round kernels may 
be purchased at a discount. (See price list). To those who plant 
ey hand or can use round kernels, we suggest that they take
