18 ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 
MID-SEASON HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Midseason hybrids are larger growing and 
require more room. Hills should be three 
feet apart each way with 3 to 4 seeds in each 
hill. If planted in 3 ft. rows the seed should 
be placed 12 to 14 inches in the row. A suc- 
cession of corn throughout the season can be 
had by planting early and midseason hybrids 
at weekly to ten day intervals. 
607 CERTIFIED GOLDEN CROSS BAN- 
TAM: 86 days. Our Golden Cross Bantam 
has been improved over the years by scien- 
tific breeding until today it is the standard 
of quality by which other strains are com- 
pared. Stalks 6 ft. tall. Ears 8 inches long, 
12 to 14 rows of high quality yellow kernels. 
Resistant to bacterial wilt. See prices below. 
If you have been growing Golden Cross Bantam, 
you will like Golden Crown better; more ears per 
acre, ears more uniform in length and slightly 
lar ece in diameter; even better quality than Gold- 
en Cross. 
613 GOLDEN CROWN: 88 days. A new yel- 
low hybrid of the Golden Cross type. Stalks 
6 ft., ears 8 inches long, 14 to 16 rows of 
medium narrow yellow kernels. Ear some- 
what larger and better filled at tip than 
Golden Cross. Very uniform and as good 
or better quality than Golden Cross. In our 
replicated trials over the past five years 
Golden Crown has outyielded Golden Cross 
by approximately 15%. Resistant to bac- 
terial wilt. See prices below. 
609 LINCOLN: 80 days. A new yellow hy- 
brid developed by the Connecticut Experi- 
ment Station. Stalk 7 to 714 ft. Ears 12 to 
14 rowed, 7 to 714 inches long. Kernels 
medium depth and attractive in appearance. 
Wilt resistant but only fair quality. See 
A tall stalk, dark green leaves and husks, a good 
sized ear and lots of them; a rich yellow kernel 
of fair quality is the way Bob describes our new 
Seneca Market sweet corn. Certainly one of the 
best midseason hybrids where quality is not too 
much of a factor. 
615 SENECA MARKET: 86 days. A new 
dark green, tall growing, large eared hybrid 
that is one of the best market corns yet de- 
veloped in the Golden Cross season. Seneca 
Market gives a large number of first grade 
marketable ears per acre. Ears 9 inches 
Iochief, not too long an ear but big in diameter 
with lots of rows of good quality, deep, narrow 
kernels. A lot of eating on one of these cobs. 
614 IOCHIEF: 90 days. All-America Gold 
Medal Winner in 1949. A new yellow hy- 
prices below. 
610 LEE: 80 days. A midseason hybrid de- 
veloped at the Connecticut Experiment Sta- 
tion. Under favorable conditions Lee will 
give a larger ear than Lincoln but has a 
more limited range of conditions in which 
it will do well. The ears are almost cy- 
lindrical with 12 to 14 rows of rather broad 
yellow kernels. Quality only fair. See 
prices below. 
611 IOANA: 83 days. Originally developed 
by Dr. E. S. Haber of Iowa State College, we

appearance. Plants 8 feet tall, erect, 
drought and wilt resistant. Ears 714 to 8 
inches long, 12 to 14 rowed with light yel- 
low kernels fair in quality. See prices below.
