rid Sweet Corn Seed 
1947 
Being no longer a novelty, hybrid sweet corn is grown 
wherever sweet corn can be grown. We believe our offerings 
to be the best hybrids for their seasons of maturity. Lee has 
been added to our list as a result of repeated inquiries. Under 
favorable conditions in New England, it will produce a larger 
and better ear than Lincoln. Spancross has been replaced with 
Improved Spancross. These two as well as the other hybrids 
on our list were originated at the Connecticut Agricultural 
Experiment Station. | | 
Growing hybrid sweet corn for seed is only part of our farm- 
ing operations though our acreage is probably the largest grown 
in Connecticut. We offer that Connecticut-grown seed for sale. 
When our stock of a variety is exhausted, orders are returned, 
for we do not sell seed from other sources. 
Our aim is to offer the best seed it is possible to grow, seed 
of high germination, properly graded, rogueless, and true to 
variety traits. The most carefully-grown inbreds are purchased 
for our use. All our fields are separated from each other and 
from other fields of sweet or field corn to prevent improper 
pollination. Detasselling is very thorough, the fields being 
covered as often as necessary in this important work. After 
harvesting, the ears are cured and dried in large, airy sheds. 
Clean, bright seed free from mold is thus produced. 
The most up-to-date machinery is used in screening and 
grading our seed to meet the requirements of machine planters. 
Round kernels are separated from the flat ones, each in turn 
being worked into even more uniform grades. Large and 
medium grades of round kernels are made and sold at special 
discounts. (See price list). More growers each year are plant- 
ing round kernels and finding them to be as satisfactory as flat 
ones. We strongly urge others to do the same. 
Our hybrids range from extremely early to late season. 
Planted all at the same time, they will give nearly a continuous 
harvest for almost a month. Carmeleross and Lincoln are sug- 
gested for later :plantings.
