In the actual production of "Hybrid'' Sweet Com seed, it is most impor¬ 
tant to detassel all of the inbred used as the female. If any tassels are missed, 
uneven "Hybrid" seed is produced. Northrup, King 5c Co.'s own crews do all 
the detasseling. None of this work is left for the farmer growers. 
Throughout the fifty years which it has devoted to producing quality Sweet 
Corn, Northrup, King 5c Co. has found it essential to keep its equipment equal 
to demands and thoroughly modern throughout. 
Early experiments with 
many types of drying equip¬ 
ment helped to develop the 
present system. This is prov¬ 
ing efficient and has resulted 
in delivering Sweet Corn of 
consistently satisfactory ger¬ 
mination. All Corn is dried 
on the ear with practically 
no shelling done until it is 
thoroughly cured. Northrup, 
King 5c Co.'s largest drying 
equipment is located in its main Plant in Minneapolis. In addition, two espe¬ 
cially built receiving and drying plants are located at Howard Lake and 
Waterville, Minnesota. The careful methods employed in receiving, drying, 
shelling, milling and handpicking insure against mixtures. 
Northrup, King 5c Co. recog¬ 
nizes service as a very es¬ 
sential part of any business 
transaction. The modern 
equipment and efficient 
methods employed insure 
prompt delivery. The "fit¬ 
ting" of seed is part of serv¬ 
ice. The wide variety of mills 
and other equipment, plus 
experienced men, help make 
a good job. Sweet Corn seed 
is carefully milled and hand picked before shipment. We are equipped to 
"tip" and "butt" seed for the most critical user. Northrup, King 5c Co.'s organi¬ 
zation is pleased to serve you and we invite you to make use of our stocks, 
equipment and personel.
