SWEET CORN—Continued 








HYBRID SWEET CORN 
The large number: of hybrid varieties now offered make it difficult for the grower to 
select the best. Each year we thoroughly test many of these and we now offer nine hybrids 
which we have chosen as the best, covering the season from extra early to late or main crop. 
Our hybrid corn is grown from proven pure line parents and great care is taken in detasseling 
the seed parent. Hybrid corn cannot be saved for seed the next year as it will break down. 
124 Lincoln 
Drought Tolerant—Lar ge Ears (81 days) 
This new hybrid developed by the Connecticut Experiment 
Station has won an important place in many sections because of its 
tall sturdy plants and its ability to stand drought and adverse con- 
ditions. The plants grow 7 to 8 feet tall with very stiff stalks and 
practically no suckers, and they make an even more vigorous growth 
than Golden Cross Bantam. Resistant to wilt. 
The ears are ready 3 or 4 days earlier than Golden Cross and are 
nearly as large, measuring 7-8 inches. They are cylindrical, very 
uniform and have 12 to 16 rows of deep narrow kernels, with fine 
color and very good quality. 
We highly recommend this popular new market variety. See 
prices on next page. 
115 Golden Cross Bantam 
The Best Main Crop Hybrid (84 days) 
One of the first hybrid sweet corns to be developed, Golden Cross 
Bantam is still by far the best main crop type for both market and 
canning. Our strain has been so much improved in recent years that 
the seed we now Offer is as close to perfection as anything we have 
ever seen. Widespread tests and the reports of growers in all sections 
prove that this stock is better than others in yield, uniformity, 
quality and size of ear. 
The tall vigorous plants produce heavy crops ripening nearly all 
at one time. The ears are large (about 8 in.) and remarkably uniform 
in size and type. They have 12 to 14 rows of bright golden yellow ker- 
nels of supreme quality. Our stock of Golden Cross holds its tender- 
ness and flavor better than other kinds and the handsome appearance 
of the ears has never been surpassed. 
This variety is resistant to wilt and widely adapted all over the 
country. For best results sow not more than six pounds per acre. See 
prices on next page. 

Lincoln i 123 Ioana 
Big cylindrical ears. Large Eared—Midseason—Wilt Resistant (86 days) 
This outstanding hybrid has been welcomed by sweet corn growers as an exceptionally de- 
pendable large eared variety for main crop. The ears are large, slightly tapering, mostly 8 to 9 
inches long with 12 to 14 rows (a few 16) of creamy yellow, medium deep kernels, which fill the ear 
well at the tip. 
These large attractive ears are of good quality, being sweet and tender. The plant is tall and 
strong and is resistant to Stewart’s Disease (wilt). It seems to stand drought remarkably well. 
In some sections where large crops of sweet corn are grown for market, some of our customers 
prefer it even to Golden Cross Bantam. See prices on next page. 
120 Harris’ Extra Early Bantam—Heavy Yielding—Very Early (68 days) 
In spite of the growing demand for larger ears in some markets, many growers find that 
because of the earliness, large yield and superior quality, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam is still on 
their ‘‘must grow” list. It is not only an extremely heavy yielder but is one of the earliest varieties, 
maturing ears which can be sold at high prices before the market becomes flooded. 
The ears resemble true 8-rowed Golden Bantam in size and shape and high quality but mature 
ten days earlier. They are up to 7 in. long with 8 to 10 rows of golden yellow kernels and are very 
uniform in size and appearance. See prices on next page. 
“I bought some of your Harris Extra Early Bantam and had the first corn in our neighborhood 
—about two weeks earlier than any.’ Mrs. Lawrence Casey, Cambridge, Vt., February 26, 1944.
