HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid Corns require the same growing conditions 
and care as any other corn. These hybrids are of out- 
standing vigor, uniformity and productivity and are 
more disease-resistant. The hybrids have almost entirely 
replaced the older varieties, especially for market use. 







The following Hybrid varieties in their respec- 
tive seasons from earliest to late represent the 
most popular and most planted varieties for 
commercial purposes. Taken into consideration 
is time of maturity, size of ear, quality and ap- 
pearance of ear, keeping qualities and, of great 
importance to the commercial grower, the yield. 

MATURING IN THE ORDER NAMED 
Spancross. One of the best early Hybrids, highly re- 
sistant to wilt, small well tinped ears, golden yellow 
kernels of good quality. Pkt. 15c, 1% Ib. 40c, 1 Ib. 
70c, 2 lbs. $1.30. 
Marcross 13-6. About the season of Golden Sunshine 
and 10 to 19 days earlier than Golden Cross Bantam. 
It is very productive and of excellent quality for so 
early a Corn. Pkt. 15c, 4 |b. 40c, 1 Ib. 70c, 2 Ibs.

2 Ibs. $1.30.

HYBRID SWEET CORN FOR THE 
HOME GARDENER 
Though the list above are all suitable for garden use, 
the following are from the newer varieties and are es- 
pecially recommended for the home gardener. These 
cover the entire season from early to late and are 
selected primarily on the basis of eating quality which 
is the one essential for the gardener who grows for his 
home table. 
Priscilla. A new introduction only 2 or 3 days later 
than Spancross but with the superior eating quality 
of Golden Bantam. The stalk is not tall, ears set 
rather low on the stalk and are good size for an 
extra early corn. Pkt. 15c, 4% |b. 40c, 1 Ib. 70c, 
2 Ibs. $1.30. 
Washington. Is sometimes called an Improved Marcross. 
Slightly smaller ear than Marcross, narrower kernel, 
superb eating quality. It is really an early corn but 
ears of good size with fair size stalk. Strong growing, 
heavy yielding variety. Pkt. 15c, 14 lb. 40c, 1 Ib. 
BOC, 10$.-51.50. 
Big Lincoln. Very similar in most respects to the well- 
known Lincoln but is a more vigorous Hybrid with 
larger ear of eaually excellent quality. Big Lincoln 
is a very desirable mid-season Corn. Pkt. 15c, % lb. 
A0¢,<1-16307 Oc: l6s2 51-30) 
Wilson. A comparatively new late Corn following in 
maturity the popular Golden Cross Bantam. Large 
staiked, large eared corn of splendid eating quality. 
It finishes the season of the best of the Hybrid Corns.

HERE IS A GARDEN SUGGESTION 
Instead of planting a couple of varieties of Sweet 
Corn in a hit or miss schedule resulting in some days 
without corn and some with too much, why not try a4 
package of our “SWEET CORN ALL SUMMER.’

brids all listed on this page. Plant them all at one time 
and have a complete succession of Sweet Corn from

Big Lincoln Golden Cross Bantam Wilson 
Each packet will plant 20 to 25 hills, or the 6 packets 
are sufficient for approximately 150 hills of Corn.
