the season for sweet corn. 
We caution against saving seed from the hybrid corn you 
grow. It may prove to be unsatisfactory for seed purposes. 
Hybrids must be crossed anew each year from certain specified 
parents to be sure of getting seed that will give the desired 
results. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS—This new extra early variety is 
the result of crossing C13 with C3 instead of with C4 as for the 
old Spancross. It produces a variety a day or two earlier with 
a larger ear and better table qualities. The plants are as tall 
as those of the old variety, as prolific yielders, and as resistant 
to cold and wilt. 
MARCROSS—The above variety is followed in about 4 days by 
this well known hybrid. The kernels are light yellow and of 
good quality. The large ears are 7 to 8 inches long and are 
mostly 12-rowed. The plants are 5 to 6 feet in height, wilt 
resistant, and good yielders. 
CARMELCROSS—Our cross is P39 by C 13, a fine midseason 
variety about 5 days later than Marcross. The ears are 7 to 8 
inches long with 12 to 14 rows of fine yellow kernels of the very 
highest quality. Plants are 514 to 61% feet tall, highly wilt 
resistant and very good yielders. Still very popular. 
~GRANT—Last year saw our first offering of this new mid- 
season variety, maturing between Carmelcross and Lee or 
Lincoln. It makes a strong heavy growth almost as tall as 
Lincoln. The ear is very large, fully the size of Lee. The foliage 
is a dark green with considerable growth of streamers on the 
ears. Its quality is fair to good. Grant is well worthy of trial 
because of its time of maturity and its handsome ear. 
LEE—Maturing at about the same time as Lincoln, this mid- 
season variety is preferred by many to Lincoln. It has 
cylindrical ears about 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter 
with 12 to 14 rows of broad yellow kernels. The quality is 
very good to excellent. 
LINCOLN—This is a standard midseason hybrid maturing 
about a week later than Carmelcross, The ears are about 8 
inches long with 12 to 16 rows of bright yellow kernels of
