Spancross 13 x 4 (72 days) 
An extra early hybrid, 2 or 3 
days earlier than Golden Early 
Market. This Spancross should not 
be confused with older varieties of 
similar name; it is extra early, wilt 
and cold resistant. Stalks 4 to 5 ft., 
ears 6% inches long, 12-rowed, yel- 
low kerneled. Price per pkt., 15c.;

Market Hybrid (73 days) 
One of the best of the extra 
early, yellow hybrids, only slightly 
smaller than Marcross, but 3 or 4 
days earlier, and that sometimes 
makes quite a difference in the 
profit. Price per pkt., 15c.; per pt., 
35c.; per qt., 65c.; 10 lbs., $3.20; 
100 lIbs., $29.00. 
Marcross (77 days) 
Gardeners have been looking for 
an earlier, good-sized hybrid ear. 
Marcross fills the need better than 
any other for its season. An at- 
tractive ear 7 inches long, 12 to 16 
rowed; fine table quality, and a 
week earlier than Whipple’s Top 
Cross. This, together with its 
hybrid vigor and productiveness, 
makes it a valuable and profitable 
addition to the list of better varie- 
ties. Price per pkt., 15c.; per pt., 
35c.; per qt., 65c.; 10 lbs., $3.20; 
100 lIbs., $29.00.

Top Cross Whipple’s Yellow (384 days) 
A top cross is more uniform and more productive than the variety itself and therefore more 
profitable to grow. The ears of Top Cross Whipple’s Yellow are 7% inches long, 12 to 14 rowed, and 
are ready for market in 84 days. Market growers have found it the most profitable variety to im- 
mediately precede Golden Cross Bantam. Price per pkt., 15c.; per pt., 35c.; per qt., 65c.; 10 lbs., $3.20; 
100 lbs., $29.00. 
Be Golden Cross Bantam (338 days) 
Originated by Glenn M. Smith of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Indiana 
Experiment Station. Golden Cross Bantam sets a standard for quality, productiveness, and resist- 
ance to bacterial wilt. It is extensively used and should be grown in every home garden. Market 
Gardeners were surprised at the tremendous yield of marketable ears per acre (15,000—practically 
double other good stocks). The ears are 10 to 14 rowed, 7% to 8 inches long, and ready for mar- 
ket in 88 days as compared with 80 days for the small original Bantam. Price per pkt., 15c.; per 
pt., 35¢.; per qt., 65c.; 10 lIbs., $3.20; 100 lbs., $29.00.
