One new Robson Hybrid means that thousands were discarded as not being good 
OTHER EARLY HYBRIDS 
Early hybrids produce a shorter stalk than the mid- 
season varieties and can be planted closer. It makes 
no difference whether you plant in hills or rows. Hills 
should be planted 24 to 30 inches apart, 3 to 4 seeds in 
each hill with the rows 30 to 36 inches apart. All 
hybrids are heavy feeders and should be well fed with 
a good grade of commercial fertilizer. 
Seneca Golden resembles Golden Cross Bantam but 
matures 10 to 12 days earlier. The ears are a trifle 
smaller and the quality not quite equal to Golden Cross 
Bantam.

two and many times three ears per stalk. The stalk 
is 4to 4% feet tall. Ears 6 inches long, slender, 8 to 
10 rowed. Kernels yellow, medium wide and fair 
quality. The earliest of all hybrids. Not resistant
