14 ROBSON QUALITY SEED, HALL, NEW YORK 

Such an early sweet corn with so large an ear almost seemed impossible and yet our plant breeders developed it and named it Seneca 
Dawn. Not as high quality as Golden Cross and Seneca Chief but good quality for such an early hybrid. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid yellow sweet corn is one of the special crops that we are breeding and growing. Our breeding plots and 
testing fields are, we believe, the most extensive in the East.

Each year we make many hundreds of experimental crosses, looking toward new and better varieties but at the 
same time we are each year looking for opportunities to improve the hybrids that we already have on the markec. 
In this way we aim to hold a leading position among the sweet corn breeders and growers of the country. 
Our breeding and testing program is costly and must be reflected in the price of seed. Our customers appre- 
ciate high quality both in our seed and the crop grown from this seed and find that the best seed is the best buy at 
harvest time. 
EARLY HYBRIDS 
Early hybrids produce a shorter stalk than the mid- 
season varieties and can be planted closer. It makes 
no difference whether you plant in hills or rows. Hills 
should be planted 24 to 30 inches apart, 3 to 4 seeds in 
each hill with the rows 30 to 36 inches apart. All 
hybrids are heavy feeders and should be well fed with 
a good grade of commercial fertilizer. 
Seneca Dawn, our latest early hybrid, is outstanding 
in size of ear for such an early corn. It has already 
proven to be a money maker for the commercial gar- 
dener who competes on the local market with other early 
varieties. Home gardeners find it very acceptable as 
a first early corn. Seneca Dawn is apparently resistant 
to bacterial wilt and does well in areas to the South 
where wilt is prevalent. 
Seneca Golden resembles Golden Cross Bantam but 
matures 10 to 12 days earlier. The ears are a trifle 
smaller and the quality not quite equal to Golden Cross 
Bantam.
