18 ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 

MID-SEASON HYBRID SWEET CORN 
[his year we are introducing a new variety, Golden 
Crown. We developed this variety because of a 
demand for a longer eared hybrid with narrower kernels 
than Golden Cross and having the same high quality 
that Golden Cross has. 
Our Certified Golden Cross Bantam is an especially 
fine strain of this variety that we have developed over 
a period of ‘15 years. It outyields other strains, is 
better quality, more uniform and holds longer on the 
stalk in prime condition. Our Certified Golden Cross 
Bantam is the standard of quality by which other 
strains are judged in many of the Eastern Agricultural 
College and Experiment Station trials. 
The other hybrids in the list do not have the flavor 
or sweetness of Seneca Chief, Golden Crown or Certified 
Golden Cross but do fit certain conditions where high 
quality is not a factor to be considered. 
Midseason hybrids are larger growing and require 
more room. Hills should be three feet apart each way 
with 3 to 4 seeds in each hill. If planted in 3 ft. rows 
the seed should be placed 12 to 14 inches in the row. 
There are no late hybrids suitable to the Northeast. 
A succession of corn throughout the season can be had 
by planting early and midseason hybrids at the same 
time and following with plantings of the midseason 
hybrids at weekly to ten day intervals. 
613 GOLDEN CROWN: 83 days. A new yellow 
hybrid of the Golden Cross type. Stalks 6 ft ; ears 
8 inches long, 14 to 16 rows of medium narrow yellow 
kernels. Ear somewhat larger and better filled at 
tip than Golden Cross. Very uniform and as good 
or better quality than Golden Cross. In our repli- 
cated trials over the past five years Golden Crown 
has outyielded Golden Cross by approximately 15%.

Lincoln has become popular in many areas as a market corn where 
the demand is for a larger ear than Golden Cross. The quality 
of Lincoln, however, is not equal to Golden Cross. 

A beautiful field of Golden Crown shows the uniform growth of a 
well-bred hybrid sweet corn.

612 SENECA GIANT: 95 days. 116 kernels per oz. 
A new hybrid that our plant breeding department 
has developed for the grower whose market calls for 
a large eared sweet corn. Seneca Giant is 10 to 12 
days later than Golden Cross, produces an 8 ft. stalk 
bearing well filled giant ears 12 to 14 inches long. The 
kernels, 16 to 18 rows, are rich yellow in color and

610 LEE: 81 days. 160 kernels per oz. A midseason 
hybrid developed at the Connecticut Experiment Sta- 
tion. Under favorable conditions Lee will give a 
larger ear than Lincoln but has a more limited range 
of conditions in which it will do well. The ears are 
almost cylindrical with 12 to 14 rows of rather broad 
yellow kernels. Quality only fair. We can only 
recommend Lee where a larger ear is desired and 
quality is not an important factor. Pkt. 15c; % lb.
