Golden Cross Bantam Corn
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
