SEED GROWERS 
HYBRID SWEET CORN—Continued 
ARISTOGOLD BANTAM 83 
Another one or our winners from the All America Seed Trials and one 
which is built to stand abuse from the weather. This handsome, fast grow- 
ing, rich yellow corn yields extra long 12 to 14 rowed ears with deeper 
kernels than any other Bantam type. Stalks are 8 to 9 feet tall with dark 
green leaves and husks. ‘The ears are uniform and symmetrical, making 
exceptional yields even under adverse conditions of drouth or heat because 
of the deep root system. It is a quality corn, more resistant to ear worm 
and smut damage and will stand earlier planting in cold, wet soil than other 
types. 
ARISTOGOLD BANTAM EVERGREEN 87 
This is the biggest yellow sweet corn which can be classed in the high 
quality group. Ears are 16 to 18 rowed, 9 to 10 inches long with clean 
stalks 8 to 9 feet tall. It has yielded as much as ten tons of snapped ears 
per acre under good conditions and is resistant to ear worm, smut and hot 
weather the same as Aristogold Bantam. But don’t let the size mis- 
lead you as this corn is strictly first class in flavor and tenderness, good 
enough that people from the fancy early yellow north country often take 
ears back with them to give their friends. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 82 
A bright yellow, 12-rowed corn with 8-inch ears borne well up on a sturdy 
stalk. The quality is fully equal to Golden Bantam in every way, matures 
six days later and is two to three times as productive. In addition, this 
corn is very resistant to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart’s Disease, 
which often causes failure with other early yellow sweet corns. Originally 
introduced by Glenn Smith of Purdue University and is a very popular 
variety. 
MICHAEL-LEONARD’S HYBRID GOLDEN HUMMER 68 
Like the open pollinated but more productive, more uniform and has a 
higher sugar content. The big well filled ears are among: the most deli- 
cious of the early types; very hardy and a reliable producer. 
HYBRID STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 95 
A big eared, thrifty, high-yielding hybrid. Gives top yields of ears and 
“fodder” with more uniform quality and ear style than Stowell’s Evergreen. 
IOANA 83 
A fine uniform All America winner developed by Dr. E. S, Haber of the 
Iowa Experiment Station at Ames. Growers everywhere like the clean, 
suckerless 7 foot’plants, Ears are uniformly 12 rowed and of quality flavor. 
MARCROSS 76 
Stalks short but sturdy, highly resistant to bacterial wilt. Ears long, 
plump, abruptly tapered at tips; 10-14 rowed, with light cream-yellow, me- 
dium-broad kernels of good quality; popular early hybrid. 
SILVER CROSS EVERGREEN 88 
This hybrid combines the parentage and quality of the white bantams with 
the size and yield of the Evergreens. Stalk and leaf growth are like the 
Early Evergreens but the ears have higher sugar content and excellent 
tenderness. Ears are about 8 inches long, of good diameter and mostly 
16 rowed. 
SILVER CROSS NARROW GRAIN 91 
A hybrid representing some distinct improvements over the open pollin- 
ated type. It is vastly more uniform, with greater yield, higher sugar con- 
tent and superior tenderness. The stalk and leaf growth are similar to 
Evergreen, although earlier in maturity. Ears are 18 to 22 rowed with 
well filled tips. Stalks are vigorous and 8 to 9 feet tails
