HYBRID SWEET CORN 
We are carrying two of the best Hybrid or Top Cross varieties 
of Sweet Corn this year and are pricing it within reason so that all 
may use it and see for themselves how prolific and disease free it is. 
Many state it yields double what the standard varieties do. Do not 
try to save the seed from these varieties as they will not come true but 
have to be bred and crossed each year. Both kinds are Stewarts Wilt 
Resistant.

Am again wishing to place my order for Blue Ribbon Sprout seed for the 
coming year. I would like 6 oz. shipped April 1st, 1938. I had a fine crop for 
1937 and I sold over $600.00 worth off them and could have sold more could I 
have had more help to pick them. I had about 15,000 plants set, which I think 
you will agree was not too bad returns considering the poor crop season.

Have one acre of your Blue Ribbon Brussels Sprouts and have shipped 150 
large sized crates. I planted them on my best land and gave them 2 ton of 5-8-7 
fertilizer and 2 ton of lime. Find you have to feed Brussels Sprouts plenty if 
you want to get a good crop. I will want 4 oz. Blue Ribbon seed for next year.
