SWEET CORN—Continued 
132 Northern Cross 
An Early, Heavy Yielding Hybrid (73 days) 
Since its introduction by us in 1938 this hybrid 
has proved to be a money maker for the grower. 
It is a variety of great vigor with fine sturdy 
plants which will produce great crops of large 
even ears. There are usually two and sometimes 
three good ears to a plant. It is truly a tre- 
mendous yielder of fine large ears and is well 
suited to fill the gap between the extra early and 
later kinds. 
These large ears are very uniform in size, 
usually eight inches long with 12-14 rows of 
bright yellow kernels. They are very attractive 
in appearance and of exceptionally high quality. 
Caution: Northern Cross is not resistant to 
Stewart’s Disease (wilt). See prices on page 13.

Experiment Station has won an important place 
in many sections because of its tall sturdy plants 
and its ability to stand drought and adverse 
re conditions. The plants grow 7 to 8 feet tall with 
amt , very stiff stalks and practically no suckers. It is

115 Golden Cross Bantam 
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 re- 
ports of growers in all sections prove that this stock is better 
than all 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 kernels of supreme quality. Our stock of Golden 
Cross holds its tenderness 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 
growers 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 Disease (wilt). It seems to stand drought remarkably 
well. In some sections 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. IOANA —For late market.
