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 Hy- 
brid 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.
