Golden Cross Hybrids/Top Crosses
This remarkable new F.1. Hybrid represents the greatest advance in sweet corn since Golden Bantam was introduced . It is a bright yellow, 12 rowed corn with 8 inch ears, borne well up on a sturdy stalk. The quality is fully equal to Golden Bantam in every way, matures six days later and is two to three times as productive. In addition this corn is very resistant to the bacterial wilt known as Stewart's Disease, which often causes failure with other early yellow sweet corns. We cannot recommend this corn too highly for canners and table use.
