le is how this fine seed 
is Produced for Y ou 
rom sheltered mountain valleys tucked 
from the rest of the world, or from irri- 
gated stretches in the burning, barren 
desert comes this amazing seed to help you 
grow the world’s finest sweet corn. 
This hybrid seed is produced in these 
isolated areas for the very reason that 
they are isolated. Out here, where no 
other corn is grown for miles around, it’s 
sure to be of pure strain and absolutely 
free of any corn diseases. Then, too, with 
irrigation, the crop is sure because the 
water is sure. 
Here Dr. Stuart N. Smith, our research director, is 
found in a plot of experimental sweet corn inbreds. 



In cool, sheltered mountain valleys like this, 
this seed is patiently produced for you. 
THE SECRET OF THIS SEED 
The real secret of this seed, however, lies 
in the right combination of just the right 
characteristics. That combination has 
come from crossing dozens of strains in 
countless ways. To find just the right 
crosses has taken more than 15 years of 
patient research and experiments by 
Michael-Leonard’s entire staff of horti- 
cultural experts. 
As a result, you now get in this corn 
a rare combination of only the good 
qualities of many varieties, skillfully 
wedded into one! That’s why it’s so 
superior to ordinary old-fashioned corn.
