ee SWEET CORN 

Golden Cross Bantam (2 plants) in our trials at Milford 
Culture. Hybrid sweet corns are grown the same as 
ordinary open pollinated corns, excepting that less seed 
is used per acre. Most growers find 8 lb. enough per acre. 
We caution our customers against trying to save their 
own seed from hybrids, as the seed must be produced by 
crossing each year. Results will not be satisfactory unless 
this is done. A bushel weighs 50 lb., a peck 12% lb. 
YELLOW HYBRIDS 
SPANCROSS 13 x 4 The improved Spancross de- 
veloped by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment 
Station. An extra early yellow hybrid, with medium 
sized ears and short stalks. Resistant to wilt and 
somewhat resistant to cold, as it can be planted in 
late April in southern Connecticut. It is a few days 
earlier than Golden Early Market. Lh. 45c; 12% 
Ib. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
SENCROSS This topcross produces 12-16 rowed 
slightly tapering to tapering ears 7-10 inches long; 
is 2-3 days later than Tendergold and in the 
same season as Whipples. This hybrid produces 
about 40% more than Tendergold or Early Yellow 
Sensation and as much or more than Whipples. 
It is easily superior to Whipples in uniformity, 
color and resistance to bacterial wilt. Lb. 45c; 
12 Ib. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
EARLY BANCROSS _ This topcrossed Bantam is 
produced from an especially selected, large eared 
strain of 8 rowed Golden Bantam. It produces 
8-14 rowed. cylindrical ears of good quality and 
color, and matures 3-4 days earlier than other avail- 
able stocks of toperossed Bantam. Has a high re- 
sistance to bacterial wilt. Lb. 45c; 12% Ib. $4.25; 
50 Ib. $15.00. 
TENDERGOLD Ears are cylindrical to slightly tapering from 
7-8 in. long. It has 10 to 14 rows of kernels of the 
Golden Bantam type and of highest quality. It yields 
more than either Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine 
and matures at about the same time as Golden Bantam. 
It is very resistant to Stewart’s disease, shows great 
uniformity of ears, and produces a large percentage of 
two-eared stalks. Lb. 45c; 12% Ib. $4.25; 50 1b. $15.00. 
MARCROSS 6x13 This single cross is one of the most pop- 
ular early hybrids at the present time. It produces cylin- 
drical, chunky, heavy husked ears 6% to 7 inches long 
with 12-14 rows of medium yellow kernels. The stalks are 
5 to 514 feet tall in Connecticut, and 4 to 4% feet tall in 
New Jersey. It matures in the same season as Golden 
Early Market, which is about 72 days at Milford. Orig- 
inally developed by Drs. Jones and Singleton of the 
Connecticut Agr. Experiment Station to fill the need 
for an early, wilt-resistant hybrid, it has increased in 
use among market gardeners since its introduction. 
Lb. 45c; 12% |b. $4.25; 50 Ib. $15.00. 
WOODRUFF’S EARLIGOLD The best early hybrid, 
developed by us for market gardeners who have 
been looking for a hybrid both early and large eared. 
The 1939 trials at Riverhead, Long Island, showed 
one hybrid earlier than Earligold, but Earligold 
yielded more ears which were nearly twice as large. 
Long Island users were very enthusiastic about it, 
as were growers in other sections. In our own 
trials at Milford it matured in 72 days, and on Long 
Island in 64 days. The ears are 6% to 7 inches 
long, slightly tapering and very uniform, well filled 
with 12 to 16 rows of kernels. The plants are 
sturdy, 5 to 5% feet tall, with few suckers. Some- 
what resistant to wilt. Lb. 55c; 12% lb. $5.00; 
50 Ib. $18.00.
