New Disease-Resistant Hybrids 
Spancross C4.13. This is the earliest good hybrid 
and matures in 67 to 70 days, well ahead of Golden 
Early Market. The 12-rowed, deep yellow ears 
are 6 to 7 inches Jong and well filled, about two 
to each 4 to 5-foot stalk. 
Marcross C13.6. One of the best early hybrids. The 
5-foot stalks produce 8-mch, 10 to 14-rowed, 
golden yellow ears well filled to the tip in 74 to 
77 days. Highly disease-resistant, well over 85 
per cent of the ears are usually marketable. 
Carmelcross. A hybrid of unusually high quality. The 
deep yellow, 10 to 14-rowed, 8-inch ears come on 
stalks 6 feet high. They are ready to pick m 78 to 
82 days, just nicely following Marcross C13.6. 
This strain is very highly disease-resistant. High 
eating quality and delicious sweet flavor. 
Golden Cross Bantam. The very sturdy stalks, with 
broad dark green Jeaves, are unbelievably uni- 
form. This applies also to the 8-inch, 10 to 14- 
rowed yellow ears which mature all at one time 
in 88 to 90 days. The tightly wrapped husks resist 
ear-worms. This hybrid is 95 per cent immune. 
Joana. A fine disease-resistant main-crop variety 
often withstanding more drought than Golden 
Cross Bantam. The broad-leaved stalks, 6 to 
7 feet tall, bear cylindrical, 12 or 14-rowed, tender, 
cream-yellow ears over 8 inches Jong in 86 days. 
Lincoln. A top-rank, bright yellow hybrid maturing 
between Carmelcross and Golden Cross Bantam in 
82 days. The well-filled, tapering ears, 8 inches 
long and 2 inches in diameter, are 12 to 16-rowed. 
The vigorous, well-foliaged stalks are 6 feet high. 
Narrow Grain Evergreen. A fine white hybrid of 
high quality. The 7-inch ears, uniformly tapered 
with 18 to 22 rows of narrow, deep white kernels, 
mature in 98 days on 8-foot stalks.
