Quaker Hill Hybrids Are Test Proven Producers 
High quality, attractive appearance, abundant yields and resistance to bacterial wilt disease distinguish our sweet 
corns.

They have been selected from several hundred hybrids on their performance records in many carefully conducted 
Enthusiastic letters from customers confirm our judgment. 
Their maturities range from 61 days, sometimes less, for Improved Spancross to 94 days, sometimes over, for Brook-

You, Too, Can Make Money With Quaker Hill Hybrids 
NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening 
periods are approximate for Western New York and adjacent areas as shown by 
recent trials. Near the Atlantic seaboard longer periods are required. Very early 
plantings require longer and late plantings require shorter periods. Moisture and 
temperature variations from normal affect the period. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS. 61 days here. Earliest yet! And 
still better quality! Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 6%” to 7” x 1.4” to 1.7”, cylindrical, 8 to 12 rowed. Ker- 
nels medium size, very tender, good flavor, Better than original. 
Yields. 20% more ears than original Spancross. Stalks 4%’. 
Remarks: Cold resistance permits real early planting which 
wins those first-on-the-market high prices. High yield and fine 
quality with extreme earliness make this hybrid one of the most pro- 
fitable if planted in time for earliest markets. For later markets, the 
following pay better. 
WASHINGTON. 66 days here. Making high records in ears per 
acre and winning approval everywhere. Wilt resistant. 
, Ears. 7” to 74%” x 1.7”, larger than Spancross, not quite as 
large as Marcross, cylindrical, 10 to 12 rowed. Kernels medium to 
large, light golden, very tender, excellent flavor. 
Yields. More ears by 20% than Marcross. Stalks 4%’ to 5’. 
Remarks: Washington offers more, slightly smaller ears than 
Marcross and better quality. Better for home gardens and direct to 
consumer marketing where quality counts most. Better try this one. 
MARCROSS. 68 days here. A dandy large eared, real early corn. 
High wilt resistance. 
Ears. 7%” to 8” x 1.7” to 1.9”, nearly cylindrical, mostly 12 
rowed, uniform in ripening and appearance. Kernels good depth, 
fairly broad, light golden, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. Equal or exceed most hybrids and all open pollinated 
considering both size and number of ears. Ears much larger than 
most early corns, fully as large as Golden Cross. Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
Remarks. This hybrid is a money maker. It not only makes the 
early market but its fine big ears bring premium prices. 
CARMELCROSS., 72 days here. Golden Cross quality but earlier. 
Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed. Kernels like 
Golden Cross, light golden, tender, very good flavor. 
Yields. High yield of ears per plant like Golden Cross, usually 
10% to 20% more than other hybrids in its group. Stalks 544’ to 6’. 
Remarks. Carmelcross has proved itself an excellent hybrid in 
the Northeastern and North Central States. 
GRANT. 75 days here. Large eared, midseason hybrid. Offered 
first by us in 1947, it won unanimous approval. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7%” to 8%” x 1.9”, slightly tapering, 12 to 16 rowed, at- 
tractive. Kernels light golden, medium size, good depth, very good 
quality. 
Yields. Out yields other hybrids in this maturity class in num- 
ber and especially in weight of ears. Stalks 6%’. 
Remarks. On markets demanding large ears, this hybrid will 
outsell all others ripening as early; and where quality is desired it 
will please too. Promises to be as popular as Magnagold. 
LINCOLN. 78 days here. Outstanding appearance. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 732” to 8%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, 15% to 20% 
heavier than Golden Cross, good shape. Kernels deep, medium width, 
bright yellow, very tender, not quite as sweet as Golden Cross. Large, 
highly attractive ears sell readily. 
Yields. Usually better than Golden Cross in number of market- 
able ears as well as size. Stalks 6%’ to 7%’, no suckers. 
Remarks: One of the very best, maturing between Carmelcross 
and Golden Cross. Has demonstrated wide adaptability and drouth 
resistance. A real money maker in its season.

LEE. 78 days here. Better quality, less wilt resistance than Lincoln. 
Ears. 73%” to 8%” x 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, cylindrical, a little 
heavier than Lincoln under favorable conditions. Kernels deep, rather 
broad, very tender. Flavor very good. Appearance fine. 
Yields. Equal Lincoln, exceed many. Stalks 6%’ to 744’.

BIG LINCOLN. 80 days here. A larger eared, heavier yielding, 
taller Lincoln. Wilt resistant.

Lincoln. Kernels deep, medium width, light, tender, good flavor.

Remarks: Big Lincoln meets the requirements of those markets 
that want and pay for large ears and furnishes good quality to boot. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN CROSS. 84 days here. By Dr. Glen 
Smith of Indiana Agr. Exp. Sta. to replace his original Golden Cross. © 
Somewhat higher yield, more kernel rows, fewer suckers, taller stalks, 
ears higher from ground. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7%” x 1.8”, cylindrical, 14 to 16 rowed, excellent type for 
market, canning or freezing, fine appearance and uniformity. Quality 
best of all.

Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, mostly 12 to 14 rowed. Similar to 
Golden Cross in appearance and almost equal in quality. 
Yields. Equal to or slightly better than Golden Cross. Usually 
better under hot or dry conditions. Stalks 6%’ to 744’, sucker free. 
Remarks: Heat and drought resistance, freedom from suckers, 
combined with good yield and quality explain the popularity of Ioana. 
BIG IOANA, 88 days here, 10% more and 10% larger ears and 
stalks than Ioana. 
Ears. 8” x 1.9”, cylindrical, 12 to 16 rowed.

flavored. Kernels light golden, tender, medium depth. 
Yields. Number of ears slightly more than Golden Cross. Weight 
of ears 30% more. Stalks 7’ to 8’, no suckers.

many markets and by canners where seasons are long enough. It is 
more resistant to wilt, heat and drought than Golden Cross. Size, 
appearance and quality assure easy selling at profit making prices. 
Customer reports are enthusiastically favorable and many orders are 
placed a year ahead.
