TETHER SEED CO. 
SWEET CORN 
1 lb. will plant 150 hills. 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
During the past few years, vast improvements have been made by many State 
Experiment Stations and Seed Breeders in the methods of developing sweet corn seed. 
Through the crossing of various inbreds to produce hybrids,, and the top crossing of 
inbreds on open-pollinated stocks, there have been developed many new and improved 
strains which are more uniform in maturity and yield much heavier than standard 
sorts. These strains are highly resistant to bacterial wilt or Stewart’s disease. 
In using 1 these Hybrids, we caution our customers that it is not 
advisable to save their own seed, as the crossing must be done each 
year to give satisfactory results.
