“I received a test packet of your Seneca Chief Hybrid Sweet 
Corn last Spring. This is the finest flavored and highest bearing 
variety of sweet corn I have ever had the good fortune to plant. 
Each ear that formed fully developed and the same sweet flavor 
was in the last few stragglers that the first batch had had. I 
further noticed that where an occasional ear was overlooked and 
not picked for several days after it had ripened that it did not get 
dry and tough but stayed sweet for many days longer than any 
variety that I have ever had.”
