HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
WHITE HYBRIDS 
We caution our customers not to try to save their ozvn 
seed, as hybrids must be produced each year by crossing 
and will not give satisfactory results unless this is done. 
TOPCROSSED EVERGREEN This topcross produces 
12-16 rowed tapering ears about 8^2 inches long. 
The kernels are deep and of high quality. The 
stalks are slender, about 7}4 feet tall and well rooted. 
It matures in the same season as Early Evergreen, 
but produces 10 to 20 % more ears because of the 
elimination of barren stalks and nubbin bearing 
stalks. In a good season on rich soil this hybrid 
will produce about 30% two-eared stalks. Lb., 60c: 
12>4 lbs., $6.50; 50 lbs.. $22.50. 
EVERGREEN HYBRID "A" This single cross produces 
14-18 rowed, cylindrical ears about 7 ]/2 inches long.

if any suckers and grows about 7 feet tall. Matures 
earlier than Stowells Evergreen and later than Early 
. Evergreen. Lb., 60c; \2 l / 2 lbs., $6.50; 50 lbs., $22.50.
