Asgrow Golden 50 
ASGROW GOLDEN 50. A new AsSGROW 
hybrid, distinctive for its deep, narrow 
kernels of unusual tenderness and excel- 
lent flavor. Compared with Golden Cross 
Bantam, the plants are slightly taller, less 
subject to suckering and yield about the 
same number of ears per acre. The ears 
are borne about 5 inches higher on the 
stalk and are larger, with narrower, deeper 
kernels. The plants withstand heat and 
dry weather and are highly resistant to 
Stewart’s (bacterial) wilt. 
ASGROW GOLDEN 25. New. An early- 
maturing ASGROW hybrid, combining the 
earliness of Marcross with the quality, 
ear size and row count of the best mid- 
season varieties. The kernels are unusually 
narrow and deep for an early corn, and 
have an excellent color. Resistant to heat 
and drought and to Stewart’s bacterial 
wilt. Available in trial quantities for 1953. 
Erie 
ERIE. A high quality asGrow hybrid 
maturing in mid-season. Compared with 
Golden Cross Bantam, the plants are 
slightly taller, with fewer suckers, and the 
ears are borne higher on the stalk. Yields 
are about the same. The ears are larger, 
mainly 14- and 16-rowed, about an inch 
longer, and well filled to the tip. The ker- 
nels are narrower and deeper and have ex- 
cellent color and flavor. Erie is relatively 
tolerant of drought and has excellent re- 
sistance to Stewart’s (bacterial) wilt. 
Calumet 
CALUMET. An _ exceptionally attractive 
ASGROW hybrid that has won acceptance 
in all parts of the country for its ability 
to yield a heavy crop of large but trim 
ears under adverse conditions of heat and 
drought. The plants average 7 ft., are 
suckerless and have excellent resistance 
to Stewart’s wilt. The long, slender ears, 
mainly 12-14 rowed, are well filled to the 
tip and are highly resistant to ear worms. 
The kernels are light yellow, deep, medium 
wide, and of good quality. Very uniform 
in maturity. Does best on heavy, fertile 
soils.
