SWEET CORN IMPORTANCE 
S WEET CORN, a native of the United States, is one of its most 
important vegetables. Every family in this country is a potential 
user. The ultimate volume of seed that can be used by home 
gardeners, market gardeners and canners depends largely upon the 
quality of the seed which growers distribute. The production of Sweet 
Corn seed is undergoing fundamental changes. Many varieties intro¬ 
duced in the past have proven inferior and have been discarded. The 
production of Hybrid Sweet Corn is opening a new field and some 
"Hybrids" have proved to be of exceptional merit. These have demon¬ 
strated that they have a definite place in Corn production. 
Because a variety is a "Hybrid" does not necessarily mean that it is 
superior to other varieties. It may do well in one locality and be a 
failure under other soil and climatic conditions. Northrup, King & 
Co., as breeders and growers, realize this and are endeavoring to in¬ 
troduce all new varieties in small quantities over a wide range of 
territory. Northrup, King & Co. feels that a variety must prove its 
superiority before being commonly introduced, and welcomes your 
help and co-operation in this critical business of producing Seed Corn.
