SWEET CORN—Continued. 
107 CARMELCROSS. Improved. The Finest Second Early Corn. (72 
days.) Now at the top of the list in popularity, Carmel- 
cross has everything—big, attractive ears, fine quality and bears tremendous crops 
ripening just after the extra early kinds are past. For market, it is ideal because the 
ears compare in size and type to the best later kinds, and home gardeners are delight- 
ed to find how many delicious ears they can get, even from a small space. 
It is entirely resistant to wilt, and the sturdy plants often bear two big, well-filled 
ears, 8 in. long. There are 12 to 16 rows of deep, bright yellow kernels, sweet and 
tender with remarkably fine flavor. Wonderful to eat fresh and desirable for freez- 
ing. Our improved strain has larger and longer ears and is the best medium-early 
corn lo grow.

124 LINCOLN. Large Ears, Drought Resistant. (81 days.) A sturdy, vigorous 
hybrid which is popular with market growers. It comes on just ahead of Golden 
Cross Bantam and is valuable to fill the gap between that variety and the early kinds. 
The stalks are very tall, stiff and erect and withstand adverse conditions, such as hot 
dry weather, much better than most kinds. For this reason it is widely grown for 
main crop in many sections. 
The ears are straight, cylindrical, 7 to 8 inches long and are closely set with 12 to 
16 rows of deep narrow kernels. They are well protected by a good husk, and our 
strain produces very uniform large ears of handsome appearance.

Carmelcross, Improved 
These fine big ears ripen just after North Star. 
115 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt Resistant—High 
Yielding—Uniform. 
(84 days.) Golden Cross Bantam was one of the first hybrids intro- 
duced and it is still the standard of excellence in sweet corn. 
The ears are attractive, about 8 inches long, nearly cylindrical in 
shape with 12 rows of golden yellow kernels which fill the ear beauti- 
fully. The kernels are deep, tender and of wonderful flavor and sweet- 
ness. Matures in midseason, a large part of the crop ripening over a 
short period of time, but the ears hold their fine quality and tenderness 
longer than any kind we know. It is ideally suited for home canning or 
quick freezing and is by far the most widely grown variety for com- 
mercial processing. It is entirely resistant to Stewart’s disease (wilt). 
Ours is a carefully bred stock, and its great uniformity and super- 
lative quality have never been surpassed.

123 IOANA, Excellent Midseason Hybrid. (86 days.) [oana fills the need for a main crop corn 
of high quality to follow Golden Cross Bantam. The plant is strong and robust, pro- 
ducing large ears (8 inches long) with 12-14 rows of sweet, tender, bright yellow kernels. It is one of the 
heaviest yielding varieties we know and is resistant to wilt (Stewart’s disease). In season it closely follows 
Golden Cross Bantam, and is preferred by some growers because of its sturdy vigorous growth, even 
under adverse conditions. We recommend this big hybrid corn highly.

111 GOLDEN BOUNTY. (New.) Larger-Eared Golden Cross Type. (85 days.) This new 
hybrid has the real sweet corn flavor and the highly attractive appear- 
ance that have made Golden Cross Bantam famous, and in addition it is nearly an inch longer and better 
filled to the tip. We consider it the best of the Golden Cross class and can recommend it most highly 
to all our customers. 


The vigorous, broad-leaved plants grow about 6 inches taller and carry the ears well up on the stalk. 
Well-filled, cylindrical and attractive, these long ears mature at about the same season, and the golden 
yellow kernels are sweet, tender and of the most delicious flavor. Plant Golden Bounty for main crop 
this year.
