ROBSON QUALITY SEED, HALL, NEW YORK 15 

MID-SEASON HYBRID YELLOW SWEET CORN 
This is a group of taller growing, large eared hybrids 
suitable for the main crop. Seneca Chief leads these 
varieties in quality and should be planted in the home 
garden and for markets where high quality brings a 
premium. 
Our Certified Golden Cross Bantam is an especially 
fine strain of this variety that we have developed over 
a period of 15 years. It outyields other strains, is 
better quality, more uniform and holds longer on the 
stalk in prime condition. Our Certified Golden Cross 
Bantam is the standard of quality by which other 
strains are judged in many of the Eastern Agricultural 
College and Experiment Station trials. 
The other hybrids in the list do not have the flavor 
or sweetness of Seneca Chief or Certified Golden Cross 
but do fit certain conditions where high quality is not a 
factor to be considered. 
Midseason hybrids are larger growing and require 
more room. Hills should be three feet apart each way 
with 3 to 4 seeds in each hill. If planted in 3 ft. rows 
the seed should be placed 12 to 14 inches in the row. 
There are no late hybrids suitable to the Northeast. 
A succession of corn throughout the season can be had 
by planting early and midseason hybrids at the same 
time and following with plantings of the midseason 
hybrids at weekly to ten day intervals.
