HONEOYE FALLS, N. Y. - FEBRUARY 1, 1951 
Quaker Hill Hybrids Are Test Proven Producers 
High quality, attractive appearance, abundant yields and resistance to bacterial wilt disease distinguish our sweet 
corns. They have been selected from several hundred hybrids on their performance records in many carefully conducted 
trials in the important sweet corn producing states. 
Enthusiastic letters from customers confirm our judgment. 
Their maturities range from 60 days, sometimes less, for Advanced Spancross to 94 days, sometimes over,for Brook- 
haven. In between, others ripen at 2 to 6 day intervals. 
dried, recleaned, graded and treated with Spergon. 
Most lots test 90% to 96% germination. 
Our seed is thoroughly 
Please read the descriptions carefully. See the planting suggestions, page 2. You can profit by the experience and 
judgment we have gained in working with hybrid sweet corns since their beginning.

NOTE—Descriptions following are based on good growing conditions. Ripening 
periods are approximate for Western New York and adjacent areas as shown by 
recent trials. Near the Atlantic seaboard longer periods are required. Very early 
plantings require longer and late plantings require shorter periods. Moisture and 
temperature variations from normal affect the period. 
ADVANCED SPANCROSS. 60 days here. Still earlier than 
Improved Spancross. Earlier by 2 to 5 days than other “earliest” 
hybrid corns marketed. And wilt resistant. 
Ears. 6%” to 7” x 1.4” to 1.7”, cylindrical, 8 to 12 rowed. Kernels 
medium size, very tender, good flavor. Better quality than original. 
Yields. Still better than preceding Spancrosses. Stalks 4’. 
Remarks: Cold resistance permits real early planting which wins 
those first-on-the-market high prices. High yield and fine quality 
with extreme earliness make this hybrid one of the most profitable if 
planted in time for earliest markets. For later markets, the follow- 
ing pay better. 
PATRICK HENRY. 
hybrid of Marcross type. 
duction. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 6%” to 7” x 1.8”, cylindrical, 10 to 14 rowed. Kernels light 
golden, medium size and depth, very tender, excellent sweetness and 
flavor. 
Yields. About equal to Marcross in both number and size of ears; 
fewer but larger ears than Priscilla and Washington. Stalks 442’. 
Remarks: This is the first hybrid to bring desirable market size and 
top quality into the extra early group. Both market and home garden- 
ers will be happy with this extra early, big eared, quality corn. 
WASHINGTON. 66 days here. Making high records in ears per 
acre and winning approval everywhere. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7” to 74%” x 1.7”, larger than Spancross, not quite as large as 
Marcross, cylindrical, 10 to 12 rowed. Kernels medium to large, light 
golden, very tender, excellent flavor. 
Yields. Usually more ears than Marcross. Stalks 4%’ to 5’. 
Remarks: Washington offers more, slightly smaller ears than Mar- 
cross and better quality. Better for home gardens and direct to con- 
sumer marketing where quality counts most. Safe to use where wilt 
may strike this year. 
64 days here. An earlier and better quality 
First offering of another Connecticut pro- 
PRISCILLA. 67 days here. New hybrid by Connecticut Station 
breeders with quality and yield equaling any in its maturity group. 
Wilt resistance to be tested. 
Ears. 7%” to 8” x 1.7’ to 1.8”, cylindrical, 10 to 12 rowed, attractive 
husk coverage. Kernels light to medium golden, medium size and 
depth, very tender, sweet and flavorful. 
Yields. About equal to Marcross. Stalk 4.5’. 
Remarks: Priscilla has rated high in yield, appearance, and quality 
in tests in the northern states from coast to coast. In wilt areas we 
recommend trial plantings only. 
In order to distribute a limited supply more widely, not more than 10 Ibs. 
of Priscilla will be sold to any customer. 
MARCROSS. 68 days here. A dandy large eared, real early corn. 
High wilt resistance. 
Ears. 7%” to 8” x 1.7” to 1.9”, nearly cylindrical, mostly 12 rowed, 
uniform in ripening and appearance. Kernels good depth, fairly 
broad, light golden, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. Equal or exceed most hybrids and all open pollinated con- 
sidering both size and number of ears. Ears much larger than most 
early corns, fully as large as Golden Cross. Stalks 5’ to 6’. 
Remarks: This hybrid is a money maker. It not only makes the 
early market but its fine big ears bring premium prices.

IMPROVED CARMELCROSS. 
quality but earlier. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7” to 8” x 1.6” to 1.8”, cylindrical, 12 rowed. 
Golden Cross, light golden, tender, very good flavor. 
Yields. High yield of ears per plant like Golden Cross, usually 10% 
to 20% more than other hybrids in its group. Stalks 5%’ to 6’. 
Remarks: Improved Carmelcross has proved excellent for commer- 
cial and home use and for early canning and freezing. It is used 
successfully for second crop and substitute planting. 
GRANT. 75 days here. Large eared, mid-season hybrid. Offered 
first by us in 1947, it won unanimous approval. Fairly wilt resistant. 
Ears. 7%” to 842” x 1.9”, slightly tapering, 12 to 16 rowed, attrac- 
tive. Kernels light golden, medium size, deep, very good quality. 
72 days here. Golden Cross 
Kernels like 
Yields. Ranks well in number of ears per acre. Ears are 10% to 
40% heavier. Stalks 6%’ 
Remarks: On markets demanding large ears, this hybrid will outsell 
all others ripening as early; and where quality is desired it will please 
too. Promises to be as popular as Magnagold. Canners are inter- 
ested too. 
MADISON. 76 days here. Successfully bred for quality in the mid- 
season group by Connecticut plant breeders. In tenderness, sweetness 
and flavor, rated equal to Seneca Chief and superior to Grant, Sen- | 
cross, Lee, Lincoln, Pilgrim and others in that group ripening between 
Carmelcross and Golden Cross. Wilt resistance not fully determined. 
Ears. 7” to 74%” x 1.5”, cylindrical, 12 to 14 rowed. Kernels light 
golden, medium to large, good depth. Quality ratings “excellent” in 
all reports to date. _ 
Yields. Number and size of ears practically the same as those of 
Seneca Chief. Both produce as many ears as the best hybrids in the 
mid-season group but ears of both are smaller. Stalks 5’ to 544’. 
Remarks: This is the tastier and tenderer corn for consumers who 
prize quality more than quantity. Madison will please the most critical 
of sweet corn lovers. 
LEE. 78 days here. Better quality, less wilt resistance than Lincoln. 
Ears. 7%” to 8%” x 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, cylindrical, a little heavier 
than Lincoln under favorable conditions. Kernels deep, rather broad, 
very tender. Flavor very good. Appearance fine. 
Yields. Equal Lincoln, exceed many. Stalks 6%’ to 744’. 
Remarks: Under good growing conditions, Lee excels Lincoln. Un- 
der hot or dry conditions it may not do as well. Resistance to wilt 
disease not as high as Lincoln and others. Recommended only for 
Southern New England and Southeastern New York. 
LINCOLN. ‘78dayshere. Outstanding appearance. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 74%” to 8%” x 1.7” to 1.9”, 12 to 16 rowed, 15% to 20% 
heavier than Golden Cross, good shape. Kernels deep, medium width, 
bright yellow, very tender, not quite as sweet as Golden Cross. Large, 
highly attractive ears sell readily. ; 
Yields. Usually better than Golden Cross in number of marketable 
ears as well as size. Stalks 64%’ to 714’, no suckers. 
Remarks: One of the very best, maturing between Carmelcross and 
Golden Cross. Has demonstrated wide adaptability and drouth re- 
sistance. A real money maker in its season. 
BIG LINCOLN. 80 days here. 
taller Lincoln. Wilt resistant. 
Ears. 8” to 9” x 2”, 12 to 18 rowed, 10% to 20% heavier than 
Lincoln. Kernels deep, medium width, light, tender, good flavor. 
Yields. Even better than Lincoln. Stalks about 10” taller. 
Remarks: Big Lincoln meets the requirements of those markets that 
want and pay for large ears and furnishes good quality to boot.
