CORNELI'S GOLD RUSH HYBRID (New) HMSC CHOOP 69 
This is the one. A first early yellow hybrid for the early market with the strong hybrid 
vigor and productiveness to replace the old open pollinated first early yellow sorts. Its 
earliness and beautiful ears are almost unbelievable but unquestionably true as the 
records show from our Keystone Valley Farm trial grounds. Many canners have ex- 
tended their Quality Pack season as much as two weeks with this early hybrid.

developed at the Connecticut experiment station. Fits in well between Corneli's Gold
