148. MIXED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid Sweet 
Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet corn. It is 
resistant to Stewart’s Disease and for yield and quality 
cannot be excelled, It has one objection in the home garden 
in that it matures all at one time. To overcome this we have 
taken and mixed equal proportions of three hybrids, one of 
70 days, one of 75 days and one of 90 days. By planting 
this mixture you will have the finest quality sweet corn 
throughout the sweet corn season. Pkt., 10c; Ye lb., 35c; 1b.,
