If you like Golden Cross Bantam, we believe you 
will like Golden Crown better. 
218 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 longer than Golden Cross and better 
in quality. Not as tender or as deep ker- 
nels as Seneca Chief but has a more distinct- 
ly corn flavor that many prefer. In our 
replicated trials over the past five years 
Golden Crown has outyielded Golden Cross 
by approximately 15%. Resistant to bac- 
terial wilt. Pkt. 20¢; 14 Ib. 50¢; Ib. 85¢; 2 
Ibs. $1.65. 
OPEN POLLINATED SWEET CORN 
231 ROBSON EXTRA EARLY BANTAM: 
68 days. This used to be our earliest and 
best sweet corn but new hybrids are earlier 
and far better quality. We keep it in the 
list because there are some who still like the 
old varieties best. Stalk 4 to 414 ft. Ears 6 
inches long with 8 rows of broad yellow 
kernels. Pkt. 15¢; 1% Ib. 40¢; Ib. 60¢; 2 Ibs.

about 8 to 9 inches long with 16 to 20 rows 
of very white grains. Pkt. 20¢; 14 lb. 40¢; 
Ib. 60¢; 2 Ibs. $1.05. 
STANLEY’S CROW REPELLENT 
The most popular of all repellents to 
protect sprouting corn from crows, 
pheasants and other birds. 1 bu. size 
60¢; 2 bu. size $1.00; 4 bu. size $1.75, 
postpaid. 
DAYS TO MATURITY 
The number of days to maturity 
which we give in each description rep- 
resents days required to mature the 
variety under normal growing condi- 
tions in our latitude. Growing condi- 
tons vary so from year to year and from 
one location to another that the num- 
ber of days merely indicates relative 
maturity of one variety with another 
and should be used only as a guide in 
ordering seed. 
MID-SEASON HYBRID SWEET CORN 
ALL CORN SEED IS TREATED 
All our sweet corn seed is treated with 
a fungicide and an insecticide to pro- 
tect the seed from wire worms, seed 
corn maggot and from rotting in the 
ground. Permits earlier planting.

Medal Winner 1949. A new late maturing 
yellow hybrid developed by Dr. E. $. Haber 
of Iowa State College. Plants vigorous, 7 ft.

Iochief is a new deep, narrow kerneled, yellow 
hybrid. The ear is very attractive. 
Golden Cross Bantam was the first of our popular 
hybrids and is still the standard by which all 
others are compared. 
217 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM (New Mar- 
ket Strain): 84 days. Our new strain of 
Golden Cross has darker green foliage and 
fills the tips better than our old strain. Ears 
are long, attractive, with deep, golden 
yellow kernels; not quite as good eating 
quality as Golden Crown or Seneca Chief.

“Enjoy Seneca Chief so much. My neighbors 
never get enough Seneca Chief and even come 
miles to get it once they have tasted it.” 
March, 1953 William S. Hadden

HOW TO FREEZE CORN ON THE COB 
To successfully freeze sweet corn on the cob, a variety with a small cob gives best 
results. We suggest using Seneca Chief. Ears should be blanched in boiling water for 
6 minutes and cooled immediately in ice water. Ears can then be placed in cellophane 
bags and placed in the freezer. 
To prepare corn for table use, remove it from the cellophane bags, place in a shallow 
tin and heat in oven until the ears are thoroughly warmed through to the center of the 
cob. 
POP CORN 
Pkt. will plant 150 ft. row 
Plant after danger of hard frost, 1 inch 
deep, 8 inches apart in 30 to 36 inch rows. 
When planting in hills, drop 4 to 5 seeds 30 
inches apart and thin to 3 main stalks. 
Pop corn must have the right moisture con- 
tent for proper popping. This can only be 
determined by test. If too dry, moisten 
slightly and keep in normal outdoor atmos- 
phere. If too moist, bring indoors to living 
room atmosphere. A few days may be neces- 
sary for the required adjustment. 
It has been our experience that the large 
yellow varieties such as South American are 
too late for most sections of the Northeast. 
*235 HYBRID HULLESS (Minhybrid 250): 
Developed by the Minnesota State Experi- 
ment Station. Comparative tests show a 
16% increase in yield over the old Japanese 
Hulless and 29% greater popping volume. 
Stalk 414 to 5 ft. Ears 4 in. long, chunky, 
well filled with small white kernels. Early 
and of excellent quality. As this is a hy- 
brid, seed cannot be successfully saved from 
the crop. Pkt. 25¢; 1% lb. 60¢; Ib. $1.00; 
2 Ibs. $1.95.

There is no pop corn that can compare with Hybrid 
Hulless for tenderness, sweetness, and all-round 
goodness. 
CORN FOR POPPING 
In making the Hybrid Hulless Cross, 
we have pollen rows that are of no use 
for seed but make good popping corn. 
Better order a few pounds to fill in un- 
til your crop is ready. Lb. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 
85¢; 5 Ibs. $1.70, prepaid.
