Quality Hybrid Sweet Corn Seed 
1945 
Again we offer home and market growers what we believe 
to be the best of the sweet corn hybrids for their respective 
seasons of maturity and another season’s experience has 
strengthened that belief. At present they are grown extensively 
in the Northeast and Central sections, but we believe there is 
a profitable place for them in other corn areas in the West and 
far West. Aside from Golden Cross Bantam, these hybrids 
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 
grown in Connecticut for seed, but it is always limited in size 
and so does not produce enough seed to supply the demand. 
We offer only that seed, for we do not sell seed from other 
sources. Selling only this home-grown seed insures as far as 
possible that our customers will receive seed properly crossed, 
carefully graded, high in germination, and true to name. Lack 
of space does not allow us to print any of the sincere testimonials 
about the fine table corn or profitable crops grown from our 
product. 
Every effort is made to produce the best seed it is possible 
to grow. The most carefully grown inbreds are secured for 
crossing. All the fields are separated from each other and from 
other fields of corn to prevent improper pollination. Detasselling 
is very thorough, the fields being inspected every day if nec- 
essary, in this important work. When picked, the ears are 
immediately spread out to cure and dry in large, airy sheds, 
ideal to secure bright clean seed, free from mold. 
To meet the requirements of machine planting, we have the 
most modern machinery for screening and grading. Round 
kernels are separated from the flat ones, which are each in 
turn worked into more uniform grades. 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 satisfactory as flat ones. We 
strongly urge others to use them, knowing that they will give 
equally satisfactory results in the field or garden. 
These hybrids range from extremely early to late season.
