GOLDEN CROSS (Y) CF CURVE 80 
Our strain of this famous hy- 
brid, originally developed by 
Dr. Glenn M. Smith of the 
U. S. D. A. about 20 years 
ago, is outstanding. This va- 
riety is still the standard for 
quality by which all other 
hybrids are judged. Resistant 
to Stewarts disease, produc- 
tive, excellent kernel quality; 
a fine main-crop yellow hy- 
brid. Our strain is extremely 
uniform, a little taller and 
more vigorous, with narrower 
kernels than when originally 
introduced, but it retains the 
true flavor, tenderness and 
quality.

uniform, heavy 
foliage, sturdy, 
vigorous, many 
tillers; generally 2 
good ears per
