HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Cross Poliinated Yellow Varieties 
Special methods of breeding and crossing have produced many new varieties of exceptione merit. The crop from 
carefully grown seed shows a remarkable increase in vigor and yield as well as greater uniformity in ripening. The 
varieties listed below have been chosen for outstanding performance. We caution our customers against saving their 
own seed for planting, as hybrid corn will not give the best results unless carefully crossed every year by expert 
growers. 
GOLDEN MIDGET HYBRID, 70 days* Extremely early 
home garden corn with small 5 foot stalks. Although one 
of the very earliest varieties the slender 8-rowed ears 
are outstanding for tenderness and sweetness. 
Pkt. 25c; 1%4 Ib. 50c; V2 Ib. 85c; Ib. $1.20 
SPANCROSS, 70 days* First early, on warm sandy soil 
it matures moderate sized ears earlier than any variety 
of like size. Pkt. 20c; Vy Ib. 45c; Ib. 80c; 2 Ibs. $1.55; 
5 Ibs. $3.20; 15 Ibs. $7.95; 100 Ibs. $44.00 
GOLDEN BEAUTY 72 days* All American Award win- 
ner for 1955. The most uniformly large-eared market

which proved so satisfactory last year. This is the finest 
early hybrid produced in years and will be a money maker 
in the early market as well as popular in the home gar- 
den. Seed is chemically treated to promote vigorous 
growth when planted very early.
