Your Minhybrids are the best Sweet Corn ever 
raised. This corn went through drought and terrific 
heat, keeping green while other varieties shriveled and 
dried. And ears—Oh Boy!—big fellows, and the most 
delicious corn I ever tasted—sweet and melting! The 
yield was the heaviest I have had and these Hybrids 
withstand strong winds without lodging.

NOTE — Don’t buy 
Hybrid varieties of 
Sweet or Field Corn with 
the idea of saving your 
own seed. By doing so 
these strains will revert 
and lose their hybrid 
vigor and productivity. 
First generation seed on¬ 
ly should be planted 
from the breeding plots 
of experienced growers. 
The extra returns more 
than offset the seed cost.
