Important READ 
During the past few years in 
certain sections of the country a 
disease has developed in Golden 
Bantam types of Sweet Corn 
known as Bacterial Wilt or Stew¬ 
art’s Disease. Stewart’s Disease 
causes the stalk to wither from 
the tip to the root, having the 
appearance of being frosted and 
eventually falls down. In many 
instances this disease has com¬ 
pletely damaged entire crops. To 
all of you who have encountered 
Stewart’s Disease in your fields 
we highly recommend to you our 
special varieties of Hybrid and 
Inbred Sweet Corn listed on this 
page. Hybrid Sweet Corn and 
Inbred varieties are much more 
expensive to produce than open- 
pollinated types, nevertheless, on 
infested areas troubled with Wilt 
or Stewart’s Disease we recom¬ 
mend them as being the best and 
most profitable to plant
