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.

NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening 
periods are approximate for Western 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. 
still better quality! 
Ears. 6%” to 7” x 1.4” to 1.7”, cylindrical, 8 to 12 rowed. Ker- 
nels medium size, very tender, good flavor. Better quality than re- 
gular Spancross. 
Stalks 414’, 
61 days here. Earliest yet! And 
Yields. 20% more ears but a little smaller. 
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. 
WASHINGTON. 67 days here. 
produced by Dr. W. R. Singleton et al, New Haven, Conn. Station. 
Ears. 7” to 742” x 1.7”, larger ‘than Spancross, not quite as 
large as Marcross, eenidrieal: 10 to 12 rowed. Kernels medium to 
large, light golden, very tender, excellent flavor. 
Yields. More ears by 20% than Marcross. Stalks 414’ to 5’. 
Remarks: Washington offers more slightly smaller ears than 
Marcross and better quality. Better for home gardens and direct to 
consumer marketing where quality counts most. Wilt resistance high, 
like Spancross and Marcross. Don’t miss this one in your ’48 program. 
MARCROSS. 68 days here. A dandy large eared, real early corn. 
Ears. 742” 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 
Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
Remarks. This hybrid is a money maker. It not only makes the 
early market but its fine big ears bring premium prices. 
CARMELCROSS. 72 days here. Golden Cross quality but earlier. 
Ears. 7” t x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed. Kernels like 
Golden Cross, light golden, tender, very good flavor. 
Yields. High yield of ears per plant like Golden Cross, usually 
10% to 20% more than other hybrids in its group. Stalks 514’ to 6’. 
Remarks. Carmelcross has proved itself an excellent hybrid in 
the Northeastern and North Central States. 
OLD. BIORO RX: 73 days here. Bigger, hardier than Carmelcross. 
Ears. 712” to 8%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 12 to 14 rowed. Kernels like 
Golden Cross, medium depth, light yellow, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. Ears per 100 stalks high, like Carmelcross. Stalks 5%’ 
to 6%’, fewer suckers. 
Remarks: Old Hickory is a sturdy, vigorous corn that produces 
a little bigger and better than Carmelcross under adverse conditions, 
particularly heat and drouth. 
GRANT, 75 days here. Large eared, midseason hybrid. Offered 
first by us last season as Conn. 22 x 27. Customers report favorably. 
Ears. 7%” to 8%” x 1.9”, slightly tapering, 12 to 16 rowed, at- 
tractive. Kernels light golden, medium size, good depth, very good 
quality. 
‘Yields. Out yields other hybrids in this maturity class in num- 
ber and especially in weight of ears. Stalks 61%’. 
Remarks. On markets demanding large ears, this hybrid will 
outsell all others ripening as early; and where quality is desired it 
will please too.
