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

HYBRID SWEET CORN (Cont.) 
Kingscrost 12 Row Ear Pack 
J-9 82 days 
This is quite similar to Kingscrost 12 Row 
Bantam E-5 except that the ears are longer 
and more uniform and have a more slender 
cob. This makes it more desirable for whole 
ear pack. We recommend this variety for 
those interested in packing 12 row whole 
ear corn as we feel it is the most uniform 
12 row variety to date. 
Marcross C6x13 76 days 
Developed by the Connecticut Experiment 
Station. A very early yellow variety. Stalks 
short, about five feet. Ears carried low. 
Ears 10 to 14 rowed, length 61% to 7 inches, 
blunt ended, color light yellow. A good early 
large eared variety. 
Wilson 95 days 
A new, large, late yellow hybrid recom- 
mended primarily as a cream style pack for 
canners. Also good for home gardeners in 
territories with a long growing season. 
Plants are tall, 742-8 feet, foliage is dark 
green. Suckers only moderately. Ears 
average 914-10 inches, kernel depth quite 
good, row number 12 to 16, quality fair to 
good. Ears are carried high. 
HYBRID POP CORN 
Minhybrid 250 
Minhybrid 250 developed at the Univer- 
sity of Minnesota. A hybrid Japanese Hull- 
less but superior in quality, yield, flavor 
and tenderness. Average yield 15% greater 
than ordinary types. 25% greater popping 
expansion. 
OPEN POLLINATED SWEET CORN 
{fe spite of the great rise to popularity of Hybrid Sweet Corn, many growers still prefer 
the open pollinated. Northrup, King & Co. have been breeding and growing seed corn 
since 1887 and are equipped to supply dealers with finest quality and a variety list that 
satisfies everyone’s requirements.
