Very many varieties of hybrid sweet corn are now available, 
ranging from extra early to late season. We offer what we 
believe to be the best for their separate seasons of maturity. 
Planted all at the same time, these varieties will give a success- 
sion of sweet corn for over three weeks. A later planting of 
mid-season varieties will further extend the sweet corn season 
in your garden. All our varieties are yellow in color and 
equally good for the home garden or market grower. Carmel- 
cross, Lincoln, and Golden Cross Bantam are unexcelled for 
home freezing. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS (C13.3). This new hybrid is better 
than the old Spancross—two days earlier, larger ear, and better 
quality. Plants are sturdy, productive, and wilt and cold 
resistant. It is the best extra early variety. 
WASHINGTON (C13.17-1). With us this hybrid ripens in 
season with Marcross. The ear is about the size of the latter, 
but the sweet tender kernels are much better in quality. It 
has the usual hybrid traits of vigor, productiveness, and 
resistance to wilt. 
MARCROSS (13.6). Following Improved Spancross by some 
six days, it is a widely-known favorite of market growers. The 
ears are 12-rowed, of good size, with light yellow kernels of 
good quality. Plants are wilt resistant, vigorous, and productive. 
CARMELCROSS (P39.C13). Our cross following the original 
pattern gives a fine mid-season variety some 5 days later than 
Marcross. Ears are 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to 14 rows of 
golden kernels very sweet and tender. Plants are tall and 
strong, wilt resistant and excellent yielders. 
GRANT (C22.27). This promising new hybrid was introduced 
in 1948 to fill in between Carmelcross and Lincoln. A vigorous 
grower it produces a heavy plant with a very large attractive 
ear, a strong selling point in the tough midseason market. 
Quality is good to excellent. 
LINCOLN (P39.C23). This is a standard reliable midseason 
variety. It matures about 4 days after Grant, some 80 days 
after planting, the same season as the old favorite Golden 
Bantam. The large ears are about 8 inches long with 12 to 16 
rows of deep yellow kernels of excellent quality. The stiff 
sturdy plants are wilt resistant and heavy yielders.
