SWEET CORN—HYBRID—(Continued) 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM (See Photo Page 19) 
This is one of the hardy disease resistant varieties which has produced ex- 
cellent crops in localities where bacterial wilt is prevalent. Stalks six feet tall, 
ears 8 inches, 10 to 14 rows of rich, well filled yellow kernels. Remains in 
edible condition over a long period and quality unsurpassed. 
The kernels of corn when dry are quite small usually 220 per ounce. Care 
should be taken not to plant too thick. This is a true hybrid and the crop 
grown from this seed should not be used for planting another year. 
KINGSCROFT E-5—12 Row Bantam (See Photo Page 19) 
This hybrid matures a few days earlier than Golden Cross but has the same 
general characteristics. Ears 714 inches, mostly 12 rowed, rich yellow color, 
plants 6 feet high and very vigorous grower. A single grain will often produce 
three or more stalks all bearing well filled ears. The dry grain is small and care 
should be taken not to plant too thick. The husks are attractive light green, 
corn is extra tender, a rich creamy yellow and most delicious. As this is a 
true hybrid the crop grown from this seed should not be used for planting 
another year. 
MARCROSS 13.6 
Matures 3 to 4 days later than Spancross. Height of plants 5 to 6 feet. Ears 
7 to 8 inches long, mostly 12 rowed with light yellow kernels of good quality. 
Wilt resistant. We consider this the best of the new early hybrids. 
SPANCROSS 4.13 
Extremely early yellow hybrid. Wilt resistant and quite resistant to cold. 
Height of plants 4 to 5 feet. Ears 614 to 7 inches long with 10 to 12 rows of 
yellow kernels of good quality. 
The above list of hybrids will give a complete succession of maturity. 
POP CORN 
Japanese Hulless 
Known also as Australian, Tom Thumb, etc. A dwarf variety producing a 
good yield of very thick ears averaging about 4 inches long. A sure popper. 
When popped is large, tender, delicious and free from hull. 
LARGE GIANT YELLOW 
This variety is used by most popcorn vendors. Makes large creamy kernels 
when popped. Ears 5 to 6 inches, stalks 6 to 7 feet. Matures in 100 days. 
CRESS or Pepper Grass 
The seed should be sown in drills about 16 inches apart on very rich ground. Cover with about 
44 inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When well started thin the plants 4 to 6 inches apart in 
the row. It may be planted very early but repeated sowings about every two weeks are necessary 
to secure a succession. Keep off insects by dusting with Pyrethrum powder. 
Curled or Pepper Grass 
The frilled or curled leaves are used for garnishing. Its warm pungent taste 
is also an appetizing addition to lettuce. The plant makes a rapid growth to 
about 1 fo® high.
