HONEOYE FALLS, N. Y. - FEBRUARY 10, 1946 
ue pe oe P Oudker Hill Hybrids Are Test Proven Producers 
High quality, attractive appearance, abundant yields and resistance to bacterial wilt disease distinguish our sweet 
ie corns. They have been selected from over 100 hybrids on their performance records in many carefully conducted trials in 
pate the important sweet corn producing states. Enthusiastic letters from customers confirm our judgment. 
ie Their maturities range from 65 days, sometimes 60, for Spancross to 90 days, sometimes over, for Magnagold. In 
2 between, others ripen at 3 to 6 day intervals. Because they are wilt resistant, they are safe to grow where wilt occurs. In 
pixel ace they are being grown successfully where susceptible sweet corns usually fail miserably. Most lots test 90% to 96% 
germination. 
«ger Our seed is thoroughly dried, recleaned, graded and treated with Arasan. 
eves _ Please read the descriptions carefully. See the ‘planting and pest control suggestions, page 2. You can profit by the 
‘ oe and judgment we have gained in working with hybrid sweet corns since their beginning.

aco Descriptions | 
a NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening pe-- 
_ Tiods are approximate for most of New York and adjacent areas as shown by recent — 
trials. Near the Atlantic seaboard longer periods are required. Very early plantings 
_ require longer and late plantings require shorter periods. Moisture and temperature 
__-yariations from normal affect the period. 
SPANCROSS. 65 days here, 19 earlier than Golden Cross. The 
is __ earliest wilt resistant hybrid. 
“Bars, 6616!" to 7" =x 1.6" , slightly tapering, 10 to 12 rowed, very 
“uniform, | ‘Kernels medium size, light yellow, tender, good flavor. 
‘Yields. Prolific producer. Almost as Peay ears as Golden Cross 
3 but smaller. Stalks 4’ to 5’. 
iy Remarks. Cold resistance permits earlice planting and wins 
those first-on-the-market high prices. Earliness and prolificacy are 
its advantages. Every market and home gardener should plant Span- 
cross this year for his earliest pickings but not for later pickings. 
MARCROSS. (Formerly our Whip-Marcross C6. 13) 68 days here, 
_ 3 later than Spancross, a day or so later than Golden Early Market, 
6 to 8 earlier than Whipple’s Early Yellow. 
pee Ears. 712” to 8” x 1.7” to 1.9”, nearly cylindrical, mostly 12 
oe rowed, uniform in ripening and appearance. Kernels good depth, 
joa 33 fairly broad, light golden, tender, good flavor. — 
: Yields. 
Market. Ears much larger than most early corns — larger than 
4 Whipple’ s Yellow, fully as large as Golden Cross. 
ie Remarks. This hybrid is a money maker. It not only makes the 
early markets but its fine big ears bring premium prices. No other 
hybrid as early has bettered it, especially in wilt areas. 
the same time as Spancross it ripens when that is done. 
: _CARMELCROSS. 72 days here, 4 days later than Marcross.

Yields 
to 30% more marketable ears than Marcross and the ears averaged 
as large. It also proved superior to all eer in its own maturity 
. Stalks: 572" to 6’. 
es - Remarks. Carmelcross has proved itself an excellent hybrid in 
the North Eastern States, where it should replace others in its maturi- 

ty period. Further south it gives way to Old Hickory. Planted on 
_ Marcross it is ready for use when Marcross is finished. 
= OLD HICKORY. 73 days here, one or two later than Carcleroee:

Seat o Yields. Similar to Chrmenrons.. Slightly fewer ears per 100 
‘es stalks but heavier per ear. Stalks 5%4’ to 6%’. Fewer suckers.

heavier than Lincoln under favorable conditions. Kernels deep, rather 
broad, very tender. Flavor good. Appearance fine. 
Yields. Equal Lincoln, heavier than Golden Cross. Stalks 6’ - 7’. 
Remarks. Under good growing conditions, Lee excels Lincoln. 
Under hot or dry conditions it is not as good. Recommended for 
Southern New England and Southeastern New York. 
GOLDEN (ROSS BANTAM. 84 days here. 
Ears. x 1.6” to 1.8”, practically cylindrical, 12 rowed, 
Z excellent ioe a pie or canning, fine appearance and uniformity. 
Yields. Better than any of the preceding hybrids except Lincoln 
and Lee and usually 50% to 100% better than any open pollinated 
corns ripening as early or earlier. Stalks 6’ to 7’. 
Remarks. Golden Cross, one of the first successful hybrids, is a 
prolific producer of high quality, attractive ears. 
SILVER CROSS BANTAM. 84 days here. A snowy white 
counterpart of Golden Cross Bantam, except larger ears and stalks. 
Ears. 8” to 9” x 1.6” to 1.9”, cylindrical with pointed tip, 12 to 
14 rowed, fine appearance; kernels medium depth, very tender and 
sweet, quality equal to Golden Bantam. 
Yields. Nearly twice as many ears as open pollinated Stowell’s 
Evergreen and Country Gentleman, and ears that are a little larger. 
One of the best yielders among all the white hybrids. Stalks 7%’ to 8’. 
Remarks. Ranks very high in sweetness, flavor and tenderness. 
Wherever white sweet corn is in favor, Silver Cross Bantam goes 
over in a big way. 
JOANA. 87 days here, 3 later than Golden Cross. 
Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, mostly 12 rowed. Similar to Golden 
Cross in appearance and equal in quality. 
Yields. Equal to or slightly better than Golden Cross. Usually 
better under hot or dry conditions. Stalks 614’ to 744’, sucker free. 
Remarks. Heat and drought resistance, freedom from suckers, 
combined with good yield and quality explain the i increasing popularity 
of Ioana. 
MAGNAGOLD. 90 days here, 6 days later than Golden Cross. 
Ears. 8%” to 9%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 16 to 18 rowed, cylindrical, well 
filled. Impressively large but surprisingly tender, sweet and well 
flavored. Kernels light golden, deep, tender. 
Yields. Number of ears slightly more than Golden Cross. Weight. 
of ears 30% to 40% more, occasionally 50% more. Stalks 7’ to 8’, 
no suckers. 
Remarks. This is the bigger and later sweet corn needed for 
many markets and by canners where seasons are long enough. It is 
more resistant to wilt, heat and drought than Golden Cross. Customer 
reports are enthusiastically favorable. Size, appearance and quality 
assure easy selling at profit making prices. 
Grades 
To permit more accurate pisating, the seed is sold in 4 grades:— 
LARGE FLAT MEDIUM FLAT 
LARGE ROUND. MEDIUM ROUND 
Experience indicates that the above grades are equally productive, 
provided spacing is the same and the medium sizes are not planted 
too deeply. Large flat kernels will be shipped unless your order 
specifies another grade. Supply of the medium sizes is quite limited, 
so it will be well to mention a second choice for either. Round kernels 
are priced lower.
