Wilt Resistant—High Yield— 
Uniform 
We recommend this new hy- 
brid sweet corn for places 
where Stewart’s disease (wilt) 
makes it impossible to grow 
ordinary varieties of sweet 
corn. This corn which is the 
product of crossing two pure 
lines is not only resistant to 
bacterial wilt (Stewart’s dis- 
ease) but produces larger crops 
of beautiful ears. The ears 
have 10 to 14 rows of golden 
yellow kernels, uniform in 
length (about 8 in.) and of ex- 
cellent quality. Matures a week 
tater than Golden Bantam, the 
Poe erop ripening at about 
e same time.

duced by the controlled polli- 
nation of two inbred parents
