124 Lincoln 
Drought Tolerant—Large Ears (81 days) 
Lincoln, developed by the Connecticut Experi- 
ment Station, has won an important place in 
many sections because of its tall sturdy plants 
and its ability to stand drought and adverse 
conditions. The plants grow 7 to 8 feet tall with 
very stiff stalks and practically no suckers. It is 
resistant to wilt. 
The ears are ready 3 to 4 days earlier than 
Golden Cross and are very large, measuring 7-8 
inches. They are cylindrical, very uniform and 
have 12 to 16 rows of deep narrow kernels. See 
prices on next page. 

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
132 Northern Cross 
An Early, Heavy Yielding Hybrid (73 days) 
Northern Cross had a great deal to recommend 
it when we introduced it in 1938, but it has now 
been improved even further in size and quality. 
It is a variety of great vigor with fine sturdy 
plants which will produce great crops of large 
even ears. There are usually two and sometimes 
three good ears to a plant. It is truly a tre- 
mendous yielder of fine large ears and is well 
suited to fill the gap between the extra early and 
later kinds. 
These large ears are very uniform in size, 
usually eight inches long with 12-14 rows of 
bright yellow kernels. They are very attractive 
in appearance and of exceptionally high quality. 
k¥ Caution: Northern Cross is not resistant to 
Stewart’s Disease (wilt). See prices on next 
page. 

LINCOLN 
115 Golden Cross Bantam 
Big Yields—Best Quality (84 days) 
One of the first hybrid sweet corns to be de- 
veloped, Golden Cross Bantam is still a widely 
grown main cropper for both market and can- 
ning, and the strain we offer is the best example 
of the variety we have ever seen. Widespread 
tests and the reports of growers in all sections 
prove that this stock is better than others in 
yield, uniformity, quality and size of ear. 
The tall vigorous plants produce heavy crops 
ripening nearly all at one time. The ears are 
large (about 8 in.) and remarkably uniform in 
size and type. They have 12 to 14 rows of bright 
golden yellow kernels of supreme quality. Our 
stock of Golden Cross holds its tenderness and 
flavor better than other kinds and the hand- 
some appearance of the ears has never been 
surpassed. 
This variety is resistant to wilt and widely 
adapted all over the country. For best results 
sow not more than six pounds per acre. See prices 
on next page. 
“T surely think Golden Cross Bantam is the best 
sweet corn I’ve ever planted, and my customers 
watt for it and come miles to get tt.” 
Carl Hahn, Defiance, Ohio. June 14, 1948.
