HONEOYE FALLS, N, Y. - MARCH 1, 1947 
Quaker Hill Hybrids Are Test Proven Producers 
High quality, attractive appearance, abundant yields and resistance to bacterial wilt disease distinguish our sweet 
corns. They have been selected from over 100 hybrids on their performance records in many carefully conducted trials in 
the important sweet corn producing states. Enthusiastic letters from customers confirm our judgment. 
Their maturities range from 61 days, sometimes less, for Improved Spancross to 90 days, sometimes over, for Magna- 
gold. In between, others ripen at 2 to 6 day intervals. 
! Most lots test 90% to 96% germination. 
dried, recleaned, graded and treated with Arasan or Spergon. 
Our seed is thoroughly 
Please read the descriptions carefully. See the planting and pest control suggestions, page 2. You can profit by the 
experience and judgment we have gained in working with hybrid sweet corns since their beginning. 
You, Too, Can Make Money With Quaker Hill Hybrids 
NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening 
periods 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 variations from normal affect the period. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS. * 61 days here. WHarliest yet! And 
still better quality! 
Ears. 6” x 1.4”, fairly cylindrical, 8 to 12 rowed. Kernels medium 
size, very tender, good flavor. Better quality than regular Spancross. 
Yields. Twenty per cent more ears but a little smaller. Stalks 4’. 
_ Remarks: Cold resistance permits real early planting which 
wins those first-on-the-market high prices. High yield and fine 
quality with extreme earliness rate this hybrid best of the early 
corns. Better plant Improved Spancross for earliest pickings. 
MARGROSS. | 68 days here. A dandy large eared, real early corn. 
Ears. 712” to 8” x 1.7” to 1.9”, nearly cylindrical, mostly 12 
rowed, uniform in ripening and appearance. Kernels good depth, 
fairly broad, light golden, tender, good flavor. 
~ Yields. 25% to 60% more marketable ears than Golden Early 
Market. Ears much larger than most early corns — larger than 
Whipple’s Yellow, fully as large as Golden Cross. Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
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. Planted at 
the same time as Spancross it ripens when that is done. 
CARMELCROSS. 72 days here. Golden Cross quality but earlier. 
Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed. Kernels like 
Golden Cross but deeper, light golden, tender, very good flavor. 
Yields. In station tests, Carmelcross has produced from 12% 
to 30% more marketable ears than Marcross and the ears averaged 
as large. It also proved superior to most others in its own maturity 
class. Stalks 51%’ to 6’. 
Remarks. Carmelcross has proved itself an excellent hybrid in 
the Northeastern States, where it should replace others in its maturi- 
ty period. Planted with Marcross it is ready right after Marcross. 
CONN. 22x27. * 75 days here. Excellent, new midseason hybrid 
maturing between Carmelcross and Lincoln. 
Ears. Larger than any preceding, 742” x 1.9", slightly tapering, 
12 to 16 rowed, attractive, kernels deep, medium large; good quality. 
Yields. Out-yields other hybrids in this maturity class in both 
number and weight of ears. Stalks 6’. 
Remarks: On markets demanding large ears, this hybrid will 
outsell all others in its maturity group; and where quality is first 
consideration it will please too. Plant this for midseason picking. 
LINCOLN. 78 days here. Received “All America” award. 
Ears. 714” to 8%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, 15% to 20% 
heavier per ear than Golden Cross, good shape. Kernels deep, medium 
width, bright yellow, very tender, not quite as sweet as Golden Cross. 
Tight husks reduce earworm infestation. Large, highly attractive ears 
outsell all competitors at premium prices. 
Yields. Equal to or better than Golden Cross in number of mar- 
ketable ears as well as size. Stalks 614’ to 7%’, no suckers. 
Remarks. One of the very best, maturing between Carmel- 
cross and Golden Cross. A real money maker for market or canner. 
LEE. 78 days here. Quality in abundance. 
Ears. 7%” to 8%” x 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, cylindrical, a little 
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’ - 1 
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. 
BIG LEE. * 80 days here. Largest eared, heaviest yielding hybrid 
in late midseason group. 
Ears. 8” x1.9”, cylindrical, 12 to 16 rowed. Kernels medium 
size, very tender, good flavor. 
Yields. More ears per 100 plants than any listed above and as 
large as any tested. Stalks equal the tallest. 
Remarks: This hybrid continues the succession of heavy yield- 
ing large eared, good quality corns that sell so easily and pay so well. 
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, tender and sweet. 
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 712‘ to 8’. 
Remarks. Ranks very high in sweetness, flavor and tenderness. 
Wherever white sweet corn is in favor, Silver Cross Bantam wins. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN CROSS. 84 days here. Dr. Glen Smith 
of Indiana Agr. Exp. Sta. has produced this new hybrid to replace his 
original Golden Cross. Somewhat higher yield, more kernel rows, 
fewer suckers, taller stalks, ears higher from ground. 
Ears. 7%” x 1.8”, cylindrical, 14 to 16 rowed, excellent type for 
market or canning, fine appearance and uniformity. Quality best of all. 
Yields. Ranks with best in number of ears, 3% to 5% better 
than original. Stalks 6%’. 
Remarks: These improvements bring Golden Cross up to date 
with other new hybrids. It still leads in its maturity period. 
IOANA. 87 days here. Rugged weather-proof producer. 
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 64’ to 7%’, sucker free. 
Remarks. Heat and drought resistance, freedom from suckers, 
combined with good yield and quality explain the popularity of Ioana. 
BIG IOANA, 88 days here. 10% more and 10% larger ears and 
stalks than Joana. 
Ears. 8”x1.9", cylindrical, 12 to 16 rowed. Kernels large, 
tender, excellent flavor. Stalks 7’. 
Yields. Averaged most marketable ears per 100 stalks last sea- 
son here; many had 2, some 3. Vigor, hardiness like Ioana. 
Remarks: 10% more and larger ears can double profits. 
MAGNAGOLD. 90 days here. Abundant tonnage and quality. 
Ears. 8%” to 94%” 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% 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.
