CUCUMBER, IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
CORN—Continued 
Silver Cross Bantam. Fancy Edible. (80 
to 86 days.) This is the sweet corn that 
will amaze you—because it has all the 
tenderness, succulence, and real corn fla- 
vor of the best yellow corn. Yet it’s 
white! How come? Well, that’s one of 
the many wonders you come across in 
hybrid creations. This corn was derived 
from Golden Cross Bantam, which it re- 
sembles in many respects. But the stalks 
are taller and the ears are longer and 
larger. But, above all, you like its flavor. 
Many folks who thought they didn’t 
like white sweet corn at all, now prefer 
Silver Cross Bantam to any other vari- 
ety! First choice for quality canning and 
freezing!
