Once again Huntington Brothers present their offerings one 
hybrid sweet corn seed for the season of 1948. A new variety | a 
—Grant—has been added to our list. This yellow hybrid was a 
designed to fit into the gap between Carmelcross and Lee or _ 
Lincoln. The demand for Improved Spancross exceeded our 
expectations. Market growers are especially enthusiastic Over a 
this very early variety. These two varieties as well as the others | a 
on our list were bred and developed at the Connecticut Agri- _ 
cultural Experiment Station. 
We have been growing hybrid sweet corn for seed for several 
years and offer only that Connecticut-grown seed for sale. When oa | 
our stock of a variety is exhausted, orders are returned, for we a 
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, and true to variety traits. f 
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. The ears are cured and 
dried in large, airy sheds, producing bright, clean seed free 
from mold. | | 
The most up-to-date machinery is used in screening and 
grading our seed to meet the demands of machine planters. — 
Round kernels are separated from 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). Each year more growers are planting round 
kernels and are finding them to be as satisfactory as flat ones. 
Others are urged to try the round kernels. | 
Our hybrids are all yellow in color and range from extrac] aa 
early to late season. When planted at the same time, they will — 
give nearly a continuous harvest for: almost a month. Midseason * 
varieties are suggested for supplementary plantings.
