EARLIGOLD HYBRID PLEASES 
Gentlemen : 
, Virginia 
Oct. 5, 1940 
I think perhaps you will be interested in my trial last season of your new hybrid sweet corn — 
Earligold. I am a rural mail carrier and for the past 15 years I have grown sweet corn for market 
as a hobby, and for profit. Every season I try out one or more new varieties of extra early. Invariably 
they failed to come up to expectations. 
the new Earligold. I sent for your catalog.

I must admit that I had some misgivings as I read your description of the corn, but being recom-

tam, uniform, and remarkably free from worms. 
Bantam. 
And what’s more important, three weeks earlier than

Your introduction of this corn is a distinct contribution to growers, and I certainly want several 
pounds next season. 
Be sure to send me your catalog. 
Yours very truly, .
