Hybrid Corn Seed Produces More At Less Cost Per Bushel 
Hybrid Sweet Corns 
The larger yields, greater uniformity and better quality of hybrid 
sweet corns are the reasons for their now almost 100% use by can- 
ners, commercial growers and home gardeners. They definitely pay 
better in dollars and satisfaction. 
Of the literally hundreds of hybrids now available we offer a 
series ripening at successive periods, each being one of the best avail- 
able in its ripening period. You can choose those that best suit your 
market or can provide a continuous supply from early to late by 
planting at one time several that will ripen in succession and then 
following with successive plantings of a late one. 
In the brief descriptions given below, the days of ripening are 
approximate for this section under favorable conditions. They vary 
with locality, season and planting date. They are comparable with 
Golden Bantam at 80 days. For detailed descriptions ask for our 
Special Sweet Corn Circular. It gives valuable planting suggestions.

Sweet Corn Pest Control. 
ADVANCED SPANCROSS - 60 days, first offering of earlier 
and better Spancross. Cold resistant. Wilt resistant. Earliest com- 
mercial type available. Prolific yielder. Attractive, medium size, 
8-12 rowed ears. 
PATRICK HENRY - 64 days, first offering. Another Conn. Sta. 
hybrid. Outstanding quality and unusual size for so early a _ corn, 
make this most desirable for both home and market gardeners. 
Wilt resistant. 
WASHINGTON - 66 days, new hybrid from Conn. Exp. Station, 
More and larger ears than Spancross, more ears but smaller than 
Marcross, better quality than either. Wilt resistant. 
PRISCILLA - 67 days, another recent release from Conn. Station. 
Top quality, slightly larger ears than preceding. Wilt resistance not 
yet determined. Recommended north of wilt area only. 
MARCROSS - 68 days. 16 days ahead of Golden Cross. Wilt 
resistant, good yielder, large 12 rowed ears, good quality, excellent 
market type. 
IMPROVED CARMELCROSS - 72 days. Wilt resistant, fine 
quality, 12 rowed, large ears, heavy yielder. Similar to Golden Cross. 
GRANT - 75 days. New mid-season hybrid, notably large ears, 
fine quality too. An easy-to-sell corn. Moderately wilt resistant. 
LINCOLN - 78 days, 6 days ahead of Golden Cross. Wilt resistant, 
drought resistant, wide adaptation. Heavy producer of large, at- 
tractive, good quality, 12 to 16 rowed ears.

little better. Not so hardy or wilt resistant. Recommended only for 
New England.

developed and still one of the best in quality and yield. Attractive, 
mostly 12 rowed ears; medium size, tender, light golden kernels. 
Wilt resistant. 
BIG GOLDEN CROSS - 87 days, a larger eared, later, taller 
Golden Cross. Wilt resistant. Sold Out 
MAGNAGOLD - 90 days. Seed weather damaged, not offered. 
BROOKHAVEN - 94 days, a new large eared hybrid using 
Connecticut and Ohio inbreds. Heaviest yields in several tests, 50% 
to 100% more weight of ears per acre than Golden Cross, Ioana and 
many other hybrids. 
FAMILY GARDEN SWEET CORN ASSORTMENTS. 
Since our first offering of garden assortments of hybrids ripening 
in succession from one planting, the idea has won wide approval. Our 
orders increase yearly as neighbor tells neighbor. For more real 
sweet corn enjoyment and food economy try one of the following,— 
SMALL GARDEN ASSORTMENT includes seed for 25 or more 
hills each of Patrick Henry, Carmelcross, Lincoln, Golden Cross and 
Magnagold. These high quality hybrids ripen at intervals furnishing 
delicious fresh corn for an average family for 5 weeks from one 
planting. 
LARGE GARDEN ASSORTMENT includes 2% oz. each Span- 
cross, Washington, Carmelcross, Madison, Magnagold and 12% oz. 
Golden Cross. One planting of all and 4 later plantings of the 
last furnishes continuous feasting for a hearty family from early 
summer till fall and plenty to can or freeze for winter. Directions for 
planting included. 
Order now to enjoy delicious sweet corn all year. 
Birdsfoot Trefoil 
Cornell Ext. Bul. 797 discusses this crop very satisfactorily. Ask 
for copy. Empire Broadleaf Birdsfoot Trefoil is recommended, mixed 
with a tall grass, for long term stands on land unwanted for rotation 
cropping, to be used for full season pasturing or pasturing before and 
after harvesting hay, silage or seed. European Broadleaf Birdsfoot 
Trefoil, with different growth habits, is better suited for hay than 
pasture and is recommended for long term stands on land unsuited 
for alfalfa, to be used for hay or silage or alternate grazing. We 
offer top quality seed of both kinds. 
Hybrid Field Corns 
There is no question now that hybrids are more profitable, either 
for silage or grain. The problem is to choose from the many offered. 
It is better to decide on the basis of experiment station tests than 
advice of an agent paid to sell a certain brand. Reports of such tests 
are available in most states. They show in nearly every case that in 
any maturity group, there is an “open formula” hybrid that equals or 
excels the “secret formula” or “trade name” hybrids. Open formula 
hybrids are made from inbreds produced and controlled by the 
U. S. D. A. and state experiment stations. They are more reliably 
the same each year and usually are available at less cost. In other 
words, the higher prices usually charged for trade name hybrids sel- 
dom buy higher yielding seed but pay for expensive advertising and 
agent’s commissions. ; 
On the basis of experiment station tests and customer experience, 
we have selected and offer the following “open formula” hybrids with 
confidence that they will produce as much food value per acre as, if 
not more than others in the areas designated. Numbers in paren- 
theses are approximate days required for maturing under conditions 
here. They of course vary from season to season and place to place, 
but show relative maturities. 
For grain it is best to use corns that ripen well within the season 
limits. Our selections are intended to be on the safe side. For silage, 
taller corns with high grain yield records that ripen 5 to 15 days 
later, usually make maximum yields of best quality silage. We have 
listed such for each situation described below. If writing us for ad- 
vice, please give your location in miles and direction from nearest 
town and date you will plant.
