196 Stiluer Cross Bantam 
A REMARKABLE NEW WHITE HYBRID SWEET CORN (86 DAYS) 
Silver Cross Bantam is the answer to the need for a really high quality white 
sweet corn. It is the first successful attempt to breed white corn that can compete 
with the fanciest yellow types, and it not only competes with them, but comes 
out on top in any test. 
We sincerely believe that no matter what white variety you may have planted, 
Silver Cross Bantam will easily surpass it in tenderness, sweetness, and flavor. 
We moreover believe that there is no corn grown, no matter what color or 
maturity, that is as tender as this new hybrid, either when eaten on the cob or 
when canned. 
Silver Cross Bantam is a true bantam type, with plants 6 feet high, and maturity 
only 6 days later than Golden Bantam. The ears are’'12 or 14 rowed, 8 in. long, 
with broad, glistening white kernels. There are no spindly, weak plants; every 
stalk carries one or two marketable ears; the uniformity of both plant and ear is 
really astonishing. 
This grand new corn corresponds to its yellow twin, Golden Cross Bantam, in 
respect to ear size, type and sweetness, plant height, wilt resistance, and matur- 
ity. It is superior to it in tenderness, yield, and strength of stalk. 
Our unusually enthusiastic description of Silver Cross Bantam led thousands of 
our friends to try it when it was offered for the first time last year. The reports 
we have received from them fully justify our recommendation. Silver Cross 
Bantam is already established as the leading white sweet corn.

EDIBLE SOY BEANS WILL BECOME AMERICA'S MOST IMPORTANT VEGETABLE 
It’s not always good business to make prophecies, because a wrong guess is hard to 
forget. But no matter how glowing the future we prophesy for edible soy beans, 
we can hardly exaggerate the possibilities, nor do we run much risk of being wrong. 
Four thousand years of constant service to countless millions of people make it 
pretty certain to be useful to those of us who have never tried it. 
We believe that the edible soy bean will become the most important garden vege- 
table in America. We believe that it will force certain vegetables into extinction, and 
that it will become the most universally planted single garden crop. 
To be such a lusty contender in everybody’s garden, soy beans must have some 
pretty wonderful characteristics. Here are the major ones: 
Absolutely greatest balanced food value. 
Rich, pleasant, unique flavor. 
Virtual immunity to disease of any sort. 
Freedom from most insect damage. 
~ Vigorous, easy, trouble-free growth. 
Universal adaptability. (Early types, north; late, south.) 
Delicious over a long growing period. 
Versatility in cooking. Many recipes. 
Ease of preparation for cooking, canning, etc. 
10. Very sure, heavy, easily harvested crops. 
Bansei, the variety which is most satisfactory for the greatest number of gardens, 
is pictured here in its mature state. The leaves all drop off the plant at maturity, 
and the pods hang on tightly, awaiting harvest. For more information, turn to 
page 10 and to the natural color photograph inside the back cover.
