16 ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 

OTHER EARLY HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
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. 
601 SENECA ‘‘60°’: 62 days. 150 kernels per oz. 
This new hybrid is very prolific usually producing 
two and many times three ears per stalk. The stalk 
is4to4¥% feet tall. Ears 6 inches long, slender, 8 to

quality. The earliest of all hybrids. Not resistant

H. F. Albee, Concord, N.H., writes, “I am enclosing a snapshot of 
our field of Seneca Dawn Sweet Corn taken on July 9th, the day 
we started picking it.” . 

‘““A few years ago I had occasion to try out your Seneca 60 and 
Golden Cross against the corns of the largest and best advertised 
seed houses in America. Yours was by far the best, and in the 
general run of garden seeds I find the same condition prevails.”
