New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
Spancross C4.13. This is the earliest good hybrid 
and matures in 67 to 70 days, well ahead of Golden 
Early Market. The 12-rowed, deep yellow ears 
are 6 to 7 inches long and well filled, about two 
to each 4 to 5-foot stalk. Valuable in northern 
latitudes for its extreme earliness. 
Marcross C13.6. One of the best early hybrids. The 
5-foot stalks produce 8-inch, 10 to 14-rowed, 
golden yellow ears well filled to the tip in 74 to 
77 days, or almost as early as Golden Early 
Market. As both parents are highly disease- 
resistant, Marcross C13.6 is doubly protected 
against disease. Well over 85 per cent of the at- 
tractive ears are usually marketable. 
Carmelcross (Marcross C13.P39). An excellent new 
hybrid of unusually high quality. The deep yel- 
low, 10 to 14-rowed, 8-inch ears come on stalks 
6 feet high. They are ready to pick in 78 to 82 
days, just nicely followmg Marcross C13.6. This 
strain is very highly disease-resistant. Topping 
all its other fine points, is the very high eating 
quality and delicious sweet flavor. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uni- 
form. This applies also to the 8-inch, 10 to 14- 
rowed yellow ears which mature all at one time 
in 88 to 90 days. The tightly wrapped husks resist 
ear-worms. Will outyield all others even under 
adverse conditions. Is 95 per cent immune. 
Top Cross Sunshine or Tendergold. Has only one hybrid 
parent. The golden yellow, 71-inch ears, 10 to 14- 
rowed, mature in from 80 to 85 days. 
First Early 
Golden Early Market, Gill’s. Earlier and larger 
than Golden Sunshine and 2 weeks earlier than 
Golden Bantam. The ears are filled with large, 
sweet kernels of exceptional flavor. The stalks 
grow 5 feet high and the ears, 7 inches long, are 
12 to 14-rowed and ready in 72 to 75 days. 
Early Varieties 
Whipple’s Yellow. Matures in 82 to 87 days and
