YANKEE HYBRID ‘acameia@sseciony BM 1941. . . 50-54 days 
This is a true single-cross hybrid like the hybrid corns. The parents are an 
inbred strain of CONNECTICUT STRAIGHTNECK and an inbred strain of EARLY 
PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK. The hybrid and the parent inbreds were all devel- 
oped by L. C. Curtis of the Connecticut station. The plant and fruit characters 
are intermediate between the two parental types and the hybrid vigor or heterosis 
in this hybrid is seen not only in a little larger, more vigorous plant, but chiefly 
in a more prolific development of early fruits. Because of this, YANKEE HYBRID 
is a very valuable and distinctive contribution to gardeners who want heavy 
yields on the earliest market.
