SPANCROSS 
HYBRID CROSSED CORN 
For eastern markets it is definitely established that crosses from 
Connecticut Experimental Station Inbreds are outstanding in their 
maturity classes. We offer the following for delivery from 1940 
crop. 
Spancross (C4 x 13) — An extra early hybrid, with a medium- 
sized ear of good quality. It is highly resistant to bacterial wilt 
and is somewhat cold resistant. The plant is short and stocky 
and with ears set low and is remarkably uniform in time of 
maturity, producing most of its crop before Golden Early 
Market makes its first ears. Ears about 614 inches long, 10-12 
rowed, slightly slimmer and longer than Golden Market. 
Marcross (13 x 6 or 6 x 13) — Matures 3 to 4 days later than Span- 
cross, is about 1 inch longer, heavier and larger, 12-14 rows. 
It is also cold and wilt resistant and very uniform in all plant and 
ear characteristics. It has been thoroughly tested in all north- 
eastern states and is well adapted as far south as New Jersey 
and in certain parts of the Corn Belt. 
Lexington (13 x 15)— Slightly later than Marcross but with 
longer, plumper and heavier ears. 
Lincoln (23 x 39) — Fills the maturity gap between Marcross and 
Camelcross. Long, thick, heavy ears of very superior table 
quality. A big producer and a highly desirable market corn. 
This fine corn won the 1941 All-American award. 
Improved Carmelcross — Matures slightly earlier than Carmel- 
cross with heavy, thick ears 8 inches long and 12 to 14 rows of 
very high quality and flavor. An exceptionally heavy yielder. 
Carmelcross (P39 x C13) — Matures 8 to 10 days after Marcross 
or about 4 days earlier than Whipple’s Yellow. Its quality is 
much higher than Whipple’s or Whipcross and will do well in 
all sections where Golden Cross is adaptable. Ear length 714 
inches, 12-14 rows, very heavy. 
Golden Cross — First and still most popular of Hybrid Corns, 
although late in maturity its long slender ears of surpassing 
flavor and its extreme uniformity and high yields, make it the 
standard of Hybrids. 
Wilson — Maturing at about the period of Evergreen this new 
Hybrid has an extremely long and heavy ear and is an excep- 
tionally large yielder. Its table quality is excellent. 
Pearlcross — A cross on our Early Pearl (the sweetest Corn in the 
world) which doubles the size and doubles the yield without 
sacrificing the deliciously sweet and delightfully tender flavor 
of that surpassing variety. 7 inch ears with long pearly white 
kernels in 10 to 12 rows, borne over 16,000 to the acre. The 
finest Corn you can set on your table and the greatest advertise- 
ment for quality a road stand or market gardener can offer to his 
customers. They all come back for more. 
SWEET CORN may be planted after all danger of 
frost is passed in drills 21% feet apart spacing the seed 
4 to 6 inches apart and later thinning to 12 inches or in 
hills about 3 feet each way allowing about 4 plants to 
remain in each hill. For continuous supplies make 
weekly sowings of the same variety or sow varieties which 
mature in succession. Corn is a vigorous feeder and 
should be well fertilized. 
MARCROSS 
EARLY PEARL 
The Sweetest Corn in the World 
The peak of perfection. In no place in the world does Sweet 
Corn, the most delightful of all native delicacies, attain its finest 
flavor than in the fertile Connecticut River Valley and no Corn 
can even begin to approach the delicate flavor and delightful 
taste of our Early Pearl. This really remarkable Corn grows 
about 5 inches long, just the right size for the high class hotel and 
restaurant trade, and is 12 rowed, with long, deep, snowy-white 
kernels. The tender thin pericarp breaks readily to release the 
delicious tenderness. 
We have had so many glowing reports and so many letters of 
praise from our customers, that we want others to try Early Pearl; 
we know you will be delighted. If you have only a small space for 
a garden nothing will repay you more than a few hills of Early 
Pearl — that is if you appreciate fine things — and who doesn’t 
like fine things to eat? 
EGG PLANT 
Black Beauty — Strong, sturdy plants with a heavy yield of 
beautiful dark purple fruit. We have an excellent strain. 
Aubergine Petronciano 
New York Improved — Later and larger than the above. 
Long Purple Italian — Early and club-shaped. 
New Hampshire Hybrid — A new smaller headed type which 
bears heavily and produces fruit earlier than other strains. 
EGG PLANT requires rich, sandy, warm soil and 
must be started indoors in February. Its culture is the 
same as Peppers.
