RELIABLE GARDEN SEEDS 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid Corns are of value because of their uniformity_of growth and maturity, vigor, high 
yield and resistance to Stewart’s disease or bacterial wilt. To produce Hybrid Sweet Corn, crosses 
between an inbred strain and a standard variety or crossing two inbreds must be done each year. 
Seed saved from hybrids will not come true to type the following year. You must get new seed 
each year.
