* HOOSIER GOLD (C30xG8) — 84 days. A new mid-season 
yellow hybrid maturing 4 days to a week ahead of Golden 
Cross, showing very high quality, and heavy yields. Ears 
average 1/2 inch longer than Golden Cross, are slightly thinner 
and have 12-14 rows of medium depth kernels. Stalks are 
slightly taller than those of Carmelcross but not as tall as 
Golden Cross. Ear shanks are medium to long and snap from 
plant quite easily. This is the variety we put up in sample 
lots for trial this past season. While all reports are not in, the 
majority of those received have been very favorable. Several 
commercial growers, however, detected a trace of blanking at 
the ear tips. If this characteristic should persist, the general 
acceptance of this variety would be limited. It seemed that 
this blanking just showed up under certain conditions and was 
not general, since some reports emphasized the good tip filling. 
Commercial growers should be conservative in their usage of 
this new variety until it definitely proves itself to be of value 
under local conditions. It definitely has a place in the home 
garden and is highly recommended. (See picture on Cover. ) 
NEW JERSEY 101 (P39x143Y)—85 days. A 12-14 rowed yellow 
hybrid, released by New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion, maturing slightly later than Carmelcross. New Jersey 
tests in 1951 showed this variety to have very high quality 
and a high degree of consumer preference. It will be recom- 
mended by the New Jersey Agricultural College for 1952. A 
short supply of seed of this variety has necessitated limiting 
sales to New Jersey agencies only.
