We caution against saving your hybrid corn for seed purposes, 
for it may prove to be very unsatisfactory. Hybrids must be 
crossed anew each year from specified parents to be sure of 
getting seed that will give the desired results. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS — This new variety is the result of 
crossing C13 with C3 instead of with C4 as for the old Spancross 
with these advantages. It is a day or two earlier, has a larger 
ear and better eating qualities. Plants are as tall as the old 
variety, as prolific yielders, and as resistant to cold and wilt. 
- MARCROSS — This early hybrid matures about 4 days after 
Improved Spancross. The light yellow kernels are of good 
quality and are on large ears 7 to 8 inches long, mostly 12 rowed. 
The plants are 5 to 6 feet in height, wilt resistant, and fine 
yielders. This variety is very well known and widely grown. 
CARMELCROSS — This early midseason variety matures about 
4 days after Marcross. It has ears 7 to 8 inches long with 12 
to 14 rows of fine yellow kernels of the highest quality. The 
plants are 514 to 614 feet tall, highly wilt resistant, and very 
good yielders. Its popularity still continues. 
GRANT — This is oun first offering of this midseason variety, 
which matures between Carmelcross and Lee or Lincoln. It 
- makes a strong sturdy growth almost as tall as Lincoln. The ear 
is a fine large one, fully the size of Lee. Foliage is dark green 
with considerable growth of streamers on the ears. The quality is 
fair to good. Well worthy of trial because of its time of 
maturity and size of ear. 
LEE —Maturing about the same time as Lincoln, this mid- 
season hybrid has cylindrical ears about 8 inches long and 
nearly two inches in diameter with 12 to 14 rows of broad 
kernels. The quality is very good to excellent. Each year we 
rate the hybrids as they appear on our table. Lee was “tops” 
bas Nie 
LINCOLN — Maturing about a week later than Carmelcross, 
this is a standard midseason hybrid. The ears are about 8 inches 
long with 12 to 16 rows of bright yellow kernels of excellent 
quality. The plants are 6 to 7 feet tall, wilt resistant, and 
excellent yielders. An outstanding hybrid of recent years.
