New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
Spancross C4.13. This is the earliest good hybrid 
and matures in 67 to 70 days, well ahead of Golden 
Early Market. The 12-rowed, deep yellow ears 
are 6 to 7 inches long and well filled, about two 
to each 4 to 5-foot stalk. Valuable in northern 
latitudes for its extreme earliness. 
Marcross C13.6. One of the best early hybrids. The 
5-foot stalks produce 8-inch, 10 to 14-rowed, 
golden yellow ears well filled to the tip in 74 to 
77 days, or almost as early as Golden Early 
Market. As both parents are highly disease- 
resistant, Marcross C13.6 is doubly protected 
against disease. Well over 85 per cent of the at- 
tractive ears are usually marketable. 
Carmelcross. A hybrid of unusually high quality. The 
deep yellow, 10 to 14-rowed, 8-inch ears come on 
stalks 6 feet high. They are ready to pick in 78 to 
82 days, just nicely following Marcross C13.6. 
This strain is very highly disease-resistant. Top- 
ping all its other fine points, is the very high eating 
quality and delicious sweet flavor. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green leaves, are unbelievably uni- 
form. This applies also to the 8-inch, 10 to 14- 
rowed yellow ears which mature all at one time 
in 88 to 90 days. The tightly wrapped husks resist 
ear-worms. Will outyield all others even under 
adverse conditions. Is 95 per cent immune. 
Ioana. A fie disease-resistant main-crop variety 
often withstanding more drought than Golden 
Cross Bantam. The broad-leaved stalks, 6 to 
7 feet tall, bear cylindrical, 12 or 14-rowed, tender, 
cream-yellow ears over 8 inches long in 86 days. 
Narrow Grain Evergreen 26.15. A white hybrid of 
high quality. The 7-inch ears, uniformly tapered 
with 18 to 22 rows of narrow, deep white kernels, 
mature in 98 days on 8-foot stalks. 
First Early 
Golden Early Market. 
The stalks grow 5 feet 
high and the golden 
yellow ears, 7 Inches 
long, are 12 or 14- 
rowed and ready in 72 
to 75 days. 
Early Variety 
Whipple’s Yellow. Ma- 
tures in 82 to 87 days 
and grows golden yel- 
low ears 7 to 8 inches 
long and 12 to 16- 
rowed, often two to a 
6-foot stalk. 
Golden Cross Bantam Corn 
Late Varieties 
Bantam Evergreen. A cross between Golden 
Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. Ready 
in 90 to 95 days; 8-inch golden yellow ears, 
12-rowed, filled with big, deep grains. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Ears, 7 to 9 inches long 
and 18-rowed, are white, remaining in a 
green state for a long period. The stalks 
grow 714 feet. Ready in 95 to 100 days.
