NORTHRUP, KING & CO.’S VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 


Kingscrost Har Pack Bantam 8 Row B2 
Kingscrost Ear Pack Bantam 
B-2 80 days 
Developed and introduced by Northrup, 
King & Co. Especially bred for those pack- 
ing corn on cob. We believe it is the best, 
most uniform, 8 row corn on the market to- 
day for this purpose. In our yield compari- 
sons, made during 1936 in three different 
sections, this hybrid yielded 20% more ears 
per acre and 65% more ears suitable for 
packing in No. 2 tall and No. 318 cans than 
the normal 8 row Golden Bantam. Ears 5% 
to 61% in., 8 row, butter yellow in color. Cob 
slender and uniform. Ears uniform in diam- 
eter and maturity. Plant 5 to 6 ft., slightly 
taller than normal Golden Bantam, with an 
unusual tendency to produce a large second 
ear. Does well where Golden Bantam can be 
grown. 

Kingscrost 12 Row Bantam Bd 

Kingscrost Golden Bantam 
8 Row—G7 
(Market Gardeners Strain) 
This hybrid is our own development. It is 
from a week to ten days earlier than the 
ordinary Bantam strains, and has the true 
eight row Bantam ears. It is much more uni- 
form in maturity and plant characters. Foli- 
age is of darker green color, enabling it to 
resist drought better. It grows almost as 
tall as the variety and ears are nearly as 
large. Its quality is excellent and is a fav- 
orite with market gardeners who prefer the 
true eight row Bantam type. Gardeners 
usually pick the entire crop for market at 
one picking.

Hybrid M-13 
Kingscrost 12 Row Bantam

King & Co. Bred as a companion to Golden 
Cross. It matures about a week earlier and 
has the same general ear characters. Ear 
length 6% to 7% in., mostly 12 rowed, de- 
sirable yellow color. In our tests, on a two 
years’ basis, it has “cut” only slightly less 
than Golden Cross. Plant height about 6 ft. 
A good, vigorous grower. Very uniform. 
Especially desirable in sections with shorter 
growing seasons,
