é Days Main Uses Sweet Corn 49 
70 HMSC (Yellow) GOLD RUSH® 
The best early yellow hybrid, ideal for the home garden because it matures quickly 
and holds in eating stage for a long time. Remarkably attractive ears fully as large as 
Golden Cross and at least 10 days earlier. Its early maturity is also valuable to com- 
mercial growers for getting on the early market and reducing spraying costs. Gold 
Rush is a favorite with shippers on the mucklands of Florida; with canners in Canada 
and Northern states; and with home and market gardeners everywhere. Shows fairly 
good field tolerance to helminthosporium blight and bacterial wilt. 
STALKS —6 feet tall, good foliage, sturdy, vigorous, moderate tillers. Occasionally 2 
good ears per stalk. 
EARS ——-8% inches long, 12 to 14 rows, nearly cylindrical. Well filled to the tip, 
tight husk, long dark green flags. 
KERNEL—Bright, clear yellow; medium deep and medium broad. Tender, sweet, fine 
texture and flavor. Seed yellow, wrinkled. 
68 HM (Yellow) GOLD STAR

home use in Northern areas, or for an extra early variety in other sections. Winner of 
an award in England’s Royal Horticultural Society Trials in 1955. 
STALKS —6% feet tall, elongated in appearance, with medium dark green foliage.
