HYBRID VARIETIES 
Hybrid sweet corn excels in quality, yield, even maturity and resistance to Stewarts disease. 
We suggest planting several varieties for longer picking season. 
*141. GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HY- 
BRID. (84 days.) A cross of two inbred Ban- 
tams. It is midseason about four days later than 
regular Bantam, Stalks average about 6 feet in 
height and very sturdy. Two ears are usually 
produced on each stalk averaging 8 inches in 
length and 12 to 14 rows, It will yield about 50 
per cent more than regular Bantam and is re- 
sistant to Stewart’s Disease. Hybrid corns are 
remarkable for their uniformity of stalk, ears, 
and time of ripening. For the home gardens it 
should be planted at intervals, otherwise it will 
all ripen at one time. Quality is excellent, Pkt., 
10c; 4% lb., 35c; Ib., 60c; 2 Ibs., $1.10; 5 Ibs.,

es above the ground, They are medium size,

quality is excellent for such an early corn. It

143. BLENDED HYBRID SWEET 
CORN. Hybrid Sweet Corn is undoubtedly the 
finest type of sweet corn. It is resistant to 
Stewart’s Disease and for yield and quality can- 
not be excelled. It has one objection in the home 
garden in that it matures all at one time. To 
overcome this we have taken and mixed several 
hybrids of different maturities. By planting this 
mixture you will have the finest quality sweet 
corn throughout the sweet corn season. PKt.,

NON-HYBRID VARIETIES 
148. GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (76 days.) 
The most important feature of Golden Sunshine 
Corn is its extreme earliness. It is actually 5 to 
7 days earlier than Golden Bantam. This valu- 
able variety was developed and introduced by 
Dr. Yeager while at the North Dakota Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station. It has a rich, golden 
color; the ears are about one inch longer than 
the ears of Golden Bantam and usually have 12 
rows instead of 8, while the quality practically 
equals that of the famous Bantam. PEt) 10c;

146. GOLDEN or BANTAM EVER- 
GREEN. (88 days.) Many attempts have been 
made to combine the Sweetness, earliness, color 
and flavor of Golden Bantam, with the tender 
skin and large ear of the Evergreen. The Ban- 
tam Evergreen is the only really successful 
cross. A fine second-planting variety Evergreen 
type of ear with 14 to 18 rows. Kernels rich 
golden yellow, deep with tender hull, sweet and

varieties. It makes the largest eax and the most 
fodder of any sweet corn we list, and the corn 
is tender, sweet, and of excellent flavor. Ears are 
8 inches long with 14 to 18 rows. Its popularity 
is also due to the fact that it remains long in the 
milk before ripening up, thereby lengthening its 
season for table use. Pkt., 10c; 1% Ib.7 S05) 1b;
