SWEET CORN—Continued 
124 Lincoln 
Drought Tolerant—Large 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 
conditions. 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 very 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. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Out of the large number of sweet corn 
varieties now on the market we have se- 
lected nine hybrids as the best to grow in 
the east, covering the season from extra 

i “g early to late or main crop. Our hybrid corn

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.

Large Eared—Midseason—Wilt Resistant (86 days) 
This outstanding hybrid has been welcomed by sweet corn grow- 
ers as an exceptionally dependable 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 Dis- 
ease (wilt). It seems to stand drought remarkably well. In some sec- 
tions 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. 


“I hope you will be able to ship me the Golden Cross sweet corn on the 
enclosed order. Last year I planted it in a field with seed I bought else- 
where, and your corn outytelded the other two to one.’ 
Arthur H. Smith, Springfield, N. J. Jan. 29, 1945. 
“Your Carmelcross corn is the nicest corn I have ever grown.” «
