Golden Cross Bantam
This is one of the finest disease-resistant strains of Golden Bantam yet developed. It is remarkably resistant to “Stuart's Disease,” commonly called Corn Wilt, which has been so disastrous to crops of early sweet corn during the past three seasons. The surest method of control of this disease is the planting of resistant varieties such as Golden Cross Bantam. It is a heavy yielding strain with vigorous stalks of uniform height. The ears are of good size averaging over six inches long and the kernels have the characteristic deep golden color. The number of rows of kernels varies somewhat but the quality is all that can be desired. The ears mature early and are only slightly later than the earlier types of Golden Bantam. Because of the extra expense of producing hybrid seed, prices must necessarily be somewhat higher but the insurance against disease is easily worth much more than the additional cost. Pkt., 15c; lb., 60c; 3 lbs., $1.65; prepaid. Not prepaid, 5lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.75; 25 lbs., $11.25

Pickett's Yellow Dent
This variety is the result of many years of careful selection by Mr. Pickett of Kent County, Michigan, from whom it derives the name. The ears are long and somewhat slender, with a small, dark red cob. The kernels are slightly rough and rather deep for such an early variety. The seed we offer was grown from Certified seed which came direct from the originator.

Polar Yellow Dent
For nine years we have been featuring this splendid variety and we are more firmly convinced than ever that it is one of the best paying sorts for southern Michigan, New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin and for northern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania. The chief advantage of Polar Yellow Dent is its ability to withstand frosts in the spring. This makes it suitable for planting on low ground early enough to mature a maximum crop. The development of this remarkable characteristic was due to a series of tests conducted by J.R. Duncan at the Michigan Experiment Station to produce a variety of corn entirely free from all forms of root rot by freezing out disease. Because of its freedom from disease Polar Yellow Dent makes a vigorous growth and stands up well even in a dry season. In general characteristics it resembles Duncan Yellow Dent. The stalks are large and leafy making it also a fine variety for fodder and ensilage. The large ears have an average of sixteen rows of deep, golden yellow kernels which are slightly rough. Polar Yellow Dent is not an extra early sort, but because of its resistance to frosts and cold weather, may be safely planted much earlier than other sorts, which gives it plenty of time to mature. The seed should always be planted early. This will keep it from fusarium root rot and other root diseases which are so disastrous. Don't be afraid to plant this corn early. Any ordinary frost will not hurt it in the least and it has successfully withstood freezes which left a crust that would hold a man up. In southern Michigan, plant from April 20 to May10. Its hardiness and thrifty growth will surprise you.
