Quality Hybrid Sweet Com Seed for 
(1944 
We again offer home and market growers what we believe 
to be the best of the sweet corn hybrids for their respective 
seasons of maturity. At present they are most extensively grown 
in the Northeastern and Central sections, but there is a profitable 
place for them in other corn areas to the West. These varieties 
range from extremely early to late season and include two “All- 
American” garden selections. Aside from Golden Cross Ban- 
tam, the varieties we offer were developed at the Connecticut 
Agricultural Experiment Station and include their latest and 
most promising hybrids. 
Our acreage of hybrid sweet corn is probably the largest 
erown in Connecticut for seed purposes and we offer only that 
seed for sale. We do not sell seed from other sources. Selling 
only our own home-grown seed insures as far as possible that 
our customers will receive seed properly crossed, of high germ- 
ination, true to variety, and carefully graded. Lack of space 
does not allow us to print any of the sincere testimonials received 
about the fine table corn or profitable crops grown from this 
seed. We do not substitute varieties without permission from 
the purchaser. 
Every effort is made to produce the best seed it is possible 
to grow. The most carefully grown inbreds are secured for our 
crossing. All the fields are properly isolated or separated from 
each other and from other fields of corn to prevent improper 
pollination. We have the labor to make sure of thorough 
detasselling, going over the fields every day when necessary 
in this very important work. When harvested, the ears are 
spread out to cure and dry in our large, airy sheds—ideal for 
securing bright, clean seed, free from mould. 
To meet the requirements of machine planting, we have the 
modern machinery for screening and grading the seed. Round 
kernels are separated from the flat ones, which are each in turn 
worked into even more uniform sizes. Large and medium 
grades of round kernels are made and offered at special dis- 
counts. (See price list). Each year more growers are finding 
round kernels to be fully as good as flat kernels. We strongly 
urge others to use them this year, knowing that they will give 
very satisfactory results in the field.
