Michael-Leonard’s Hybrid Sweet 
Corn. 
This corn is the result of more 
than 15 years of patient research by 
our entire staff of expert horticul- 
turists. They crossed and re-crossed 
dozens of strains, bringing out the 
finest qualities of each. Then into 
one great new corn they combined 
all of these ideal characteristics. 
They called it hybrid sweet corn. 
Since the creation of this first hy- 
brid, Michael-Leonard has developed 
14 different sweet corn hybrids of 
varying maturities — both the yel- 
low and white varieties. 
Big ears with giant size kernels so 
tender, sweet and milky, take the 
place of all other kinds. It’s so much 
better eating that many of America’s 
foremost food canning companies 
insist on Michael-Leonard Hybrids 
for their quality pack. And recently, 
a nation-wide jury of garden experts 
selected some of these varieties as 
America’s outstanding sweet corn. 
And how it grows! Plants are 
strong, sturdy, uniform with a rich 
green color. Ears are borne on the 
stalk at a uniform height, making it 
easy picking, nice appearing. And, 
importantly, it yields more. Ears are 
bigger and you get more of them. 
But wait ’till the day you bring 
em in and serve ’em! Those great 
big ears with their giant, baby- 
tender kernels are a joy to behold. 
And so sugary-sweet, so full of real 
corn goodness that you can’t get 
quite enough! And the kernels are 
deep, on an unbelievably small cob. 
Every bite is a real “bite” of all corn. 
But that’s not all. The really 
grand part is that you have this 
sweet corn coming on all summer 
long! You see, with this corn we 
“set” the ripening date. The earliest 
hybrid ripens 59 days after planting, 
the latest takes 95 days. Simply 
plant several different maturing hy- 
brids at one time, and pick the 
world’s finest sweet corn from your 
own garden throughout the entire 
summer. You'll be the first and the 
last to enjoy sweet corn on your 
dinner table,
