Sweet Corn Should Be on the Table 20 Minutes After It Is Cut 



SUGAR CORN for Table Use 



HYBRID VARIETIES 



Undoubtedly, the trend in Cora is 

 toward hybrids. They are a great deal 

 more resistant to Stewart's disease and 

 bacterial wilt; their root system is better, 

 which insures less damage by winds and 

 storm; and the ears are larger and more 

 uniform. These factors insure larger and 

 better crops and explain its popularity 

 among canners, market and home gar- 

 deners.
