HYBRID SWEET 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 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, 6 lbs. will plant | acre. 
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 
York State Certified. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 25 cts.; 
Ib. 45 cts.; 2 lbs. 80 cts.; 6 lbs. $2.00; 12 lbs. $3.75;

use 2 weeks before any corn in this section. I sold it for 30 and 35c
