TENDERBLONDE 
MICHAEL-LEONARD CO. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN — Continued 
This variety is mid-way between Golden Cross Bantam and Tendermost 
in many oi its essential characteristics. It combines the deeper cut for 
which Tendermost is famous with the rich flavor of Golden Cross Bantam. 
Ears are mostly fourteen rowed with rich yellow, medium narrow kernels. 
Ears average 8% inches in length with well filled tips and kernel depth 
carried out well to the tip. Plants are approximately six feet tall with 
broad, dark leaves and better drought resistance than Golden Cross. 
TENDERFREEZER 82 
Ideal for canning or freezing on the ear. Exceptional sweet flavor, narrow 
kernels, long slender ear mainly 12 row. 
TENDERGOLD 79 
A very fine corn of outstanding quality introduced by us. Four days earlier 
than Golden Bantam and generally twice as productive, the attractive 8 to 
9-inch, 12-rowed ears commanding a premium on the market. For tender- 
ness and succulence we have never seen its equal, and it holds this fine 
quality two to three days longer than other corns. Produces heavy crops 
in ater where Golden Bantam succumbs to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s Dis- 
ease),

BANTAM EVERGREEN 
We reserved this name for the best quality yellow sweet corn we have 
ever produced. From the first day the ears are ready to use until the 
leaves and husks begin to turn brown you will find it the tenderest corn 
you have ever had in the garden. It is as near hulless as sweet corn can 
be grown. The clean 9 inch golden 14 to 16 rowed ears are deliciously 
sweet and develop a brilliant gold color when cooked. They have plump, 
well filled tips with deep kernels. Plants and ears are about a foot higher 
and smut resistance is distinctly better than that of Golden Cross Bantam. 
Generally considered the best main season corn for canning and freezing. 
FLIGHT BANTAM 82 
One of our outstanding winners from the All America Seed Trials this 
handsome 14-16 rowed yellow sweet corn generally produces two well de- 
veloped ears per stalk. Ears are about 9 inches long, well filled at the tips, 
crisp, tender, and succulent. Because of its strong tendency for good twin 
ears it often yields more dozens of marketable ears per acre than any 
other kind. 
Here is the hybrid which produces a higher percentage of perfect ears 
than any other kind we have had. Uniformly well filled at the tips, the 
16 rowed ears have remarkable resistance to ear worms and smut. Plants 
are very dark green, 8% to 9 feet tall and are clean and free from suckers. 
It is one of the best to use in dry seasons.
