Attention Market Gardeners: 
Your good customers will pay you better prices 
for green ears of AUNT MARY‘S, the best sweet 
corn in the world. At 25c, 30c, or 35c per 
dozen you will, I believe, make from 50 to 200% 
more profit on AUNT MARY’S than on any 
variety of sweet corn which sells at 10c, 15c, or 
20c per dozen. Notice that wholesale prices on 
AUNT MARY’S seed are one-third lower than 
last year. 
Why Does Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn 
Seed Cost More than Any 
Other Variety? 
First. This corn is sweeter than others and the 
excess sugar apparently holds the moisture 
inside the seed coat and we have always found 
it necessary to bring the ears indoors and ripen 
them with heat. 
Second. The tender seed coat is very susceptible 
to “mould” and if two ears even touch each other 
before the moisture is very much reduced, both 
ears are ruined for seed. 
Consequently it takes not only heat but a great 
heated space to successfully ripen a wholesale 
quantity of seed. In 1935 outside ripening con¬ 
ditions were good and a great part of the mois¬ 
ture was taken out by nature. Consequently less 
time was needed for the application of furnace 
heat and we succeeded in ripening over 5,000 
pounds of seed, allowing us to send out many 
thousand free sample plantings. 
The weather in 1936 was not so favorable and we 
did not succeed in ripening quite 4,000 pounds. 
Unfortunately the fall of 1937 was colder with 
much more dampness in the air and we failed to 
ripen even 3,000 pounds of seed.
