REPRESENTATIVE HYBRIDS AND TOP-CROSSES 
Through the use of more recent breeding methods for the improvement 
of Sweet Corn varieties, we have developed through nine years of controll¬ 
ed pollination a number of inbred lines of high merit* The crossing of 
these produces hybrids of outstanding vigor, uniformity and productivity. 
Likewise the top-crossing of inbreds on open-pollinated stocks gives uni¬ 
formity and yields far in advance of those obtained from standard stocks- 
Disease resistance is also a vital factor and we can now furnish stocks of 
some varieties that are highly resistant to Stewart's disease or Bacterial 
wilt.
