Spancross Sweet Corn ~ 
A Very Early Variety 
During the last two years I have had satisfactory 
expetience with this very early yellow hybrid sweet 
corn. One planting produced eats ready for the 
table in 63 days and the other in 67 days, if I 
remember correctly. It ripens from 60 to 70 days 
after planting which is nearly a month earlier than 
Aunt Mary’s. Sweet Corn customers will pay a — 
higher price for green ears of very early sweet corn — 
than they will later in the season. This new variety — 
should be planted only for very early use in both 
home and commercial gardens and I recommend at 
least three plantings of it. The first planting to be 
‘made on the same day Aunt Mary’s is planted. You 
can wait full two weeks to make the second plant- 
ing of Aunt Mary’s —but the second planting of 
Spancross should be made in seven or eight days 
after the first planting, because like many other 
yellow hybrid corns, the grains remain in edible 
condition only seven or eight days and then become 
too hard for table use. The third PaRBDE should 
be made about a week later, 
1-4 pound___15c 71-2 ounces_ 25c 
At these prices, these two small packages - 
will be sent by prepaid parcel post 
anywhere in the United States. 
The reason I quote on 7% ounces is that this 
amount in a container weighing one half ounce 
requires only 4c postage to be sent anywhere in the 
United States. A package weighing 814 ounces 
must carry 15c postage when addressed to a customer 
in Zone 8. 
1 pound to 25 pounds will be sent by 
express, charges collect, to any address in 
the United States, at 35c per pound. , 
I believe that many of my customers will be 
glad to get acquainted with this very early variety 
which will open the sweet corn season at least three 
weeks earlier than the standard varieties.
