SWEET CORN 
CuLture.—Hybrid Sweet Corns are grown the same 
as ordinary open pollinated Corn, except that less seed is 
used per acre. Most growers find 8 pounds enough per 
acre; 14 pound for 100 feet of row. We caution our cus- 
tomers against trying to save their own seed from hybrids, 
as the seed must be produced by crossing each year. Re- 
sults will not be satisfactory unless this is done. 
Carmelcross. 75 days. Followmg Marcross maturity, 
this deep yellow Corn is considered the best early 
midseason hybrid in the Northeast—large-eared, 
productive, wilt-resistant and of high quality. The 
12- or 14-rowed, 8-inch ears come on 6-foot stalks. 
Golden Cross Bantam. 88 days. This ts a hybrid Corn 
that is highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. Ears 
are 10- to 14-rowed and are longer than the Golden 
Bantam with grains lighter in color; excellent flavor. 
Vigorous-growing 6-foot stalks. Being extremely 
uniform in ears and maturity, It is well adapted to 
canners’ use and is an excellent variety for market. 
Ioana. 87 days. Ears 71% to 8 inches long, cylindrical, 
12-or 14-rowed. Stalks 6 to 7 feet tall. Kernels are 
yellow and of delicious flavor. Excellent for canning.

necticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Resembles 
Lincoln except that it has red silks.

rows. Vigorous stalk 7 to 8 feet tall.

Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid. 90 days. Considered one 
of the best strains of Stowell’s Evergreen. It is a good 
bearer of excellent-flavored Corn. The deep roots 
are valuable to the tall fodder in drought and storm. 
Tendermost. 83 days. Vigorous stalks about 7 feet 
tall, producing 9-inch ears of 14 to 16 rows. The 
ears are well filled with deep yellow kernels of splen- 
did flavor. Unexcelled for home and canning. 
Whipcross. 84 days. Uniform midseason top-cross 
for home- and market-garden. The 7-foot stalks are 
sturdy; highly resistant to Stewart’s disease; golden

GARDEN CORN (Not Hybrid) 
Adams Early (Ideal). 80 days. Stalk 5 to 6 feet tall. 
Ears 6 to 7 inches long, with 10 to 14 rows. Good

Adams but makes a larger ear, averaging about 9 
inches long. The grains are fairly deep, and when at 
roasting-ear stage are tender and miiky. It is hardier 
than any of the Sugar Corns, withstands cold ground 
better and can be planted much earlier. If not used 
for roasting ears, it makes a good-yielding Corn for 
stock feeding.

Adams type. Stalk 7% to 8 feet tall. Ears 7 to 8

two ears.
