Early Golden Hybrid 1.13 sweet corn is a high qual- 
ity and productive member of the early season group. 
CORN 
HYBRID — MIXED YELLOW 
AND WHITE 
Sugar and Gold — An extra early high 
quality sweet corn with a mixture of yellow 
and white kernels. It matures about 3 days 
ahead of Spancross 13.4 but is very susceptible 
to bacterial wilt so should only be grown north 
of Massachusetts, or for trial in western or cen- 
tral Pennsylvania or where bacterial wilt does 
not occur. 
The stalk is rather slender, about 4’ tall, with 
reddish foliage. The ear is 6-6!14’’ long with 
8 or 10 rows of tender sweet kernels, some 
yellow and some white. The husk is rather 
short and light. In areas where adapted it is a 
splendid corn for the first early planting in 
home gardens and for limited planting to sup- 
ply the first few days of a market that will 
accept high quality in spite of mixed color 
kernels. 
HYBRID — YELLOW 
Early Golden 1.13 —A very early, dis- 
tinctly high quality yellow hybrid requiring 
only about 79 days from planting to roasting 
ears. The stalk is slender but stiff and strong, 
averaging about 514’ tall in central Massa- 
chusetts. Several tillers are normally produced 
by each plant. The ear is about 7’” long, 
12 rows and nearly cylindrical in shape with 
little taper toward the tip. The husk is medium 
heavy. The kernels are sweet and considerably 
more tender than either Spancross or Marcross. 
It is highly resistant to bacterial wilt. Desirable 
for either home gardens or for early markets 
interested in high quality. 

Spancross 13.4— An extra early yellow 
hybrid requiring only about 77 days from plant- 
ing to edible maturity. It is a cross between in- 
breds of Golden Early Market and Spanish 
Gold developed by the Connecticut Agricul- 
’ tural Experiment Station. It is resistant to bac- 
terial wilt and is the earliest desirable variety 
available. Plant grows about 4’ tall. Ear is 
61%" long, as thick as that of Marcross 13.6, 
and with 12 rows of kernels of good quality 
for the, season. It should only be used for 
the first planting since its quality is not high 
enough to compete with better later hybrids. 
Marcross 13.6 —A _ high-yielding, early, 
yellow hybrid resulting from a cross of two 
Connecticut inbreds —13 and 6. It reaches 
roasting ear stage about 82 days after planting 
and produces ears extra large for the season, 
about 8’’ long with 12 to 14 rows. The eat- 
ing quality is fair and very acceptable on 
many markets. The plants grow about 5/ 
tall and are highly resistant to bacterial wilt. 
It is one of the most popular and widely used of 
all varieties for the main early market. It is not 
recommended as a first choice for home gardens 
where higher quality varieties should be used. 
Carmelcross 30.13 — This hybrid replaces 
39.13 of former years. The inbred 30 is a selec- 
tion by the Connecticut Experiment Station 
out of the inbred Purdue 39 formerly used, giv- 
ing a slightly larger ear in the resulting hybrid. 
Otherwise the characteristics are the same. 
Plants are moderately leafy, growing to a 
height of 54’ and are highly resistant to 
bacterial wilt. Ears are large with 12 to 16 
tows and a heavy, tough husk which covers 
the tips well. They reach roasting ear stage 
about 84 days after planting. Quality is excel- 
lent. This hybrid is very desirable for either 
home garden or market in the midseason period. 
Golden Cross Bantam — This is a hybrid 
from a cross of two inbreds of Golden Bantam 
— Purdue 51 and 39. It is the slowest maturing 
of all hybrids on our list requiring about 98 
days from planting to roasting ears. It also has 
the highest quality of all standard varieties. 
The ears are about 8” long, cylindrical, with 
12 or 14 rows and good husk cover affording 
considerable protection against ear worms. 
Plants are dark green, leafy, about 614’ tall 
and highly resistant to bacterial wilt. This 
variety should supply the main crop in every 
home garden and with its great uniformity in 
growth and maturity as well as its exceptional 
quality and heavy yields it is especially adapted 
for canning, freezing or later season market. 
HYBRID — WHITE 
Narrow Grain Evergreen 14.13 — This is 
a midseason white, wilt-resistant hybrid that 
matures for eating or processing 95 to 100 days 
after planting. Plants are 7 to 8’ tall, vigorous 
and strong. Ears are 7 to 8’’ long, usually 
well tipped and with 16 to 18 rows of deep, 
white kernels of high quality. 
OPEN POLLINATED — YELLOW 
Golden Bantam — A standard variety with 
cylindrical slender ears of high quality. The 
plant tillers (suckers) freely. It is susceptible 
to bacterial wilt. 
Bantam Evergreen — A high quality corn 
for midseason or late. A selection from a cross 
of Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. It 
has the Evergreen type of ear, with deep yellow 
kernels of high quality. Plants are large and 
vigorous. 
Sweet Corn Culture 
Two ozs. of seed plants 100’ of row — 10 
to 12 lbs. per acre. Plant after danger of hard 
frost, 1’’ deep, 8’’ apart in 30’’ to 36’’ rows. 
When planting in hills, drop 4 to 5 seeds 30’ 
apart and thin to 3 stalks. For succession har- 
vest, plant at weekly intervals or use preferably 
later maturing varieties. 
CUCUMBER 
PICKLING (BLACK SPINE) 
Association Pickling — A highly desirable 
black spine pickling strain developed by the 
Michigan Experiment Station for the Na- 
tional Pickle Packers’ Association. The plants 
are very prolific and the. fruit is dark green, 
symmetrical and square-ended, suitable for 
pickling at any size. 
Chicago Pickling — The most widely used 
variety particularly adapted for large pickles. 
The fruits are thick, uniform, medium-green 
and square-ended. The plants are very pro- 
lific. 
SLICING (WHITE SPINE) 
Straight 8—An early variety producing 
cylindrical symmetrical smooth fruits well- 
rounded at the ends. When ready for use the 
color is deep green and the fruit is free from 
light tips and stripes. Highly productive. 
A & C Special — A desirable market cucum- 
ber because of its uniform length, very dark 
green color and high productivity. The fruits
