Spancross 13 x 4 (72 days)

days earlier than Golden Early

an earlier, good-sized hybrid ear. 
Marcross fills the need better than 
any other for its season. An at- 
tractive ear 7 inches long, 12 to 
16 rowed; fine table quality, and a 
week earlier than Whipple’s Top 
Cross. This, together with its 
hybrid vigor and productiveness, 
makes it a valuable and profitable 
addition to the list of better 
varieties. Price per pkt., 15c.; per 
pt:, -50c.;; per qt:, S5cssa 10 mibs: 
$4.30; 100 lbs., $40.00.

Lee (85 days) 
Very similar to Lincoln, though in most cases slightly larger. It has not definitely been deter- 
mined which of these varieties will produce more satisfactorily under unfavorable conditions, or has 
wider adaptability. Both are exceptionally large ears for their season and have fine quality. Price 
per pkt., 15¢.; pt., 50c.; qt., 95c.; 10 lbs., $4.30; 100 Ibs., $40.00. 

Golden Cross Bantam (83 days) 
Originated by Glenn M. Smith of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Indiana 
Experiment Station. Golden Cross Bantam sets a standard for quality, productiveness, and resist- 
ance to bacterial wilt. It is extensively used and should be grown in every home garden. Market 
Gardeners were surprised at the tremendous yield of marketable ears per acre (15,000—practically 
double other good stocks). The ears are 10 to 14 rowed, 7% to 8 inches long, and ready for mar- 
ket in 88 days as compared with 80 days for the small original Bantam. Price per pkt., 15c.;
