HYBRIDS 
The greatest triumph of corn-breeding is in the 
development, through inbreeding and crossing, of 
hybrids, which accentuate the best features of 
both their parents and have amazing strength, 
uniformity and yielding power.

brids particularly adapted to 
Northern New England. 
Seed from hybrids should not be 
•aved for reproduction.
