harvest for two weeks. Lincoln, Golden Cross Bantam, and 
Wilson will follow in order at intervals of a few days. Lincoln 
seems to be the outstanding new hybrid and compares very 
favorably with the old standby, Golden Cross Bantam. Lincoln 
has a slightly larger ear, excellent table qualities, and is a few 
days earlier in maturing. Wilson is a late Stowells hybrid very 
recently developed by the Connecticut Experiment Station, and 
seems well worthy of trial. 
We wish again to caution against saving seed from any 
hybrid for seed purposes. Such seed may prove entirely unsat- 
isfactory. Hybrids must be crossed anew each year from 
certain inbreds to be sure of getting the desired seed. Each 
field must also be properly isolated from other fields of hybrids 
and other corn. 
Because of possible transportation delays and limited stocks 
we suggest not to delay in placing your order for seed after 
you have decided upon your requirements. 
SPANCROSS is a new and extremely early hybrid which 
matures ahead of other early kinds. This ‘‘All-American’’ 
selection has medium-sized ears 614 - 7 inches long, with 10-12 
rows of yellow kernels of good quality. Quite resistant to cold. 
Wilt resistant. A profilic yielder. Height of plants 4-5 feet. 
The earliest practical hybrid yet developed. It should not be 
confused with the several top-crosses of this variety, many of 
which resemble it very little. 
~MARCROSS is an early hybrid, maturing three or four days 
later than Spancross. It has large ears, 7 -8 inches long, mostly 
12 rowed, with light yellow kernels of good quality. Wilt 
resistant. Height of plant 5-6 feet. A fine yielder. Very 
well-known and popular. Probably the most used of the new 
early kinds. A money-maker for the market grower. 
CARMELCROSS is an early mid-season type, maturing 
three or four days later than Marcross. It has ears 714-8 
inches long, with 12-14 rows of beautiful yellow kernels of 
excellent quality. Highly wilt resistant. Height of plants 
514 - 614 feet. A very good yielder. This hybrid is becoming 
very popular. 
LINCOLN is a mid-season type. This new “All-American” 
selection matures about a week later than Carmelcross and 
several days ahead of Golden Cross Bantam. It has ears 714-814 
inches long, with 12-16 rows of bright yellow kernels. The 
ear is slightly larger in diameter than Golden Cross Bantam. 
Wilt resistant. Height of plant 6-7 feet. Fine quality and a 
good yielder. Very highly recommended.
