Seneca Chief The Best Of All Hybrids 

The White Springs Farm near Geneva, N. Y. has beautiful sloping fields; fine for drainage but subject to loss by soil erosion. Recently 
Mr. Lewis, the owner, cooperating with the County Soil Conservation Service laid out a beautiful system of contoured fields, diversion 
dams and ditches. Beans and Alfalfa alternate with 72 acres of Robson Certified Golden Cross sweet corn; seeded with Domestic Rye 
Grass at last cultivation.

making thousands of crosses and testing them to 
produce the ideal hybrid yellow corn that combines 
size of ear, quality and yield. We are now introduc- 
ing Seneca Chief. Seneca Chief we believe is the 
finest quality corn ever produced. The plant is 
sturdy, 5% ft., producing one or two 8 inch 12 rowed 
ears of delicious yellow corn. The kernels are very 
sweet and extremely tender. We believe that Sene- 
ca Chief is the finest quality hybrid corn that we 
have ever offered. We are sure that a trial will 
convince you that we are right. Pkt. 25 cts.; % lb. 
45 cts.; lb. 75 cts.; 2 lbs. $1.35; 6 lbs. $3.60. 
*x CERTIFIED GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM: 83

gon, our white tassel Golden Cross leads all other 
strains of this variety in quality and uniformity. 
Stalk 6 feet tall, Ears 8 inches long with 10 to 14 
rows of broad medium yellow kernels. In tests by 
one of our leading canners, Robson Golden Cross 
held on the stalk in edible condition longer than other 
strains. 
Golden Cross is one of the most disease resistant 
varieties and produces excellent crops in sections 
where Bacterial Wilt has been the worst. Our seed

160 kernels per oz. A midseason hy- 
brid developed at the Connecticut Experiment Sta- 
tion. Under favorable conditions Lee will give a 
larger ear than Lincoln but has a more limited range 
of conditions in which it will do well. The ears are 
almost cylindrical with 12 to 14 rows of rather broad 
yellow kernels. Quality only fair. We can only 
recommend Lee where a large ear is desired and 
quality is not an important factor. Pkt. 10 cts.;
