Carmelcross Sweet Corn 

Treated Corn Grows Better! 
We find the Seed Corn, even of 
high vitality, which has been treated 
with Spergon has twice the chance 
of growing and making a good stand 
under unfavorable weather condi- 
tions, that untreated seed has. The 
cost is so small and the method so 
easy that all growers should take 
advantage of this easy Crop Insur- 
ance. (2 ounces treats 1 bushel of 
Corn. ) 
Price: 1 oz., 25c; 5 ozs., $1.00; 
1 Ib., $2.25.

Golden Cross Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
Sweet Corn 
4 packet will plant about 40 hills; 1 pound-about 300 hills; 12 pounds to the acre. 
The home gardener in Northern Ohio plants Corn as early as May lst 
and as late as July 15th. For a succession of harvests, early, medium and 
late varieties are sown at the same time. Because they are smaller, early 
varieties are spaced 8 to 10 inches apart in 30- to 36-inch rows, while the 
larger and later sorts are placed 12 to 14 inches between plants. If you 
have not done so, by all means sow some of the new hybrid Corns—they 
are rapidly replacing many of the old standbys.

(62 days.) Our improved strain. One of the best extra early. An extra 
early hybrid which matures ahead of Golden Early Market and has 614- 
to 7-inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of yellow kernels of good quality. It is 
resistant to bacterial wilt. Height of plants 4 to 5 feet. A prolific yielder. 
One of the earliest hybrids yet developed.

(66 days.) A new early hybrid. See page 3. 
124 Marcross Pkt., 15c; Y 1b., 40c; 1b., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30; 5 lbs., $3.00 
(66 days.) An early type, maturing 4 or 5 days later than Spancross, 
and has large ears 71% to 8 inches long, mostly 12-rowed, with light 
yellow kernels of good quality. Wilt-resistant. Height of plants 5 to 6 
feet. A surprisingly good yielder, well known and popular.

(70 days.) Ears 7 to 8 inches, cylindrical, 12-rowed. Kernels like 
Golden Cross but deeper, light golden, tender, very good flavor. Yields 
more marketable ears than Marcross. It should replace others in its 
maturity period. Carmelcross is an excellent hybrid in all respects.

(78 days.) A big midseason hybrid Corn 7 to 8 feet tall with excellent 
large ears, well filled over the tips; attractive in appearance; the husks 
long and tight. Ears 8 inches long, 12 to 16 rows with kernels bright 
golden color of excellent quality. In trials it has proven its outstanding 
ability to produce excellent crops. 
120 loana Pkt., 15c; Y2 1b., 40c; 1b., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30; 5 lbs., $3.00

Golden Cross Bantam. Is of fine quality. The plant is strong and 
robust, producing large ears (8 inches long) with 12 to 14 rows of sweet, 
tender, bright yellow kernels. It is one of the heaviest yielding Corns 
and is drought-resistant, highly resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). 
We highly recommend this new hybrid Corn.

ceptional quality and flavor. It is quite uniform in growth and maturity 
and is especially adapted to market, canning, and home gardens. Plants 
6 feet tall, are dark green and leafy. Ears 8 inches long, 10 to 14 rows 
and broad, medium yellow kernels. Holds its stock in edible condition 
longer than any other variety. Husk covering affords considerable pro- 
tection against ear worms. 
127 Ohiogold Pkt., 15c; % 1b., 40c; 1b., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30; 5 lbs., $3.00 
(90 days.) Higher yield—excellent quality. Its stalks are tall and a 
few days later in maturity than those of Golden Cross Bantam. Yields 
of Ohiogold have exceeded those of Golden Gross Bantam by about 
25 per cent. The ears are long and large, and carry 12 to 14 rows of 
medium deep, tender yellow kernels—quality good. Market growers 
who planted Ohiogold were very well pleased with performance and 
have placed sizeable orders. This speaks for itself.
