Quality Hybrid Sweet Corn Seed 
Sam ke) 
HUNTINGTON BROTHERS herewith presents their offerings 
of hybrid sweet corn for the season of 1949. A new variety— 
Grant—was added to our list last year. This yellow hybrid — 
was designed to fill in the gap between Carmelcross and Lee 
or Lincoln. It has succeeded very well in so doing and the 
demand for seed of this new variety has far exceeded our 
expectations. Market growers especially are very enthusiastic 
over this new variety. All the varieties on our list were origin- 
ated at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. 
We have been growing hybrid sweet corn for seed for many 
years. Only this Connecticut-grown seed is offered for sale. 
When our stock of a variety is sold out, orders are returned. 
We do not sell seed from other sources. 
Every effort is made to produce the best seed it is possible 
to grow. Such seed must be of high germination and true 
' to variety traits and then properly graded. Only the most 
carefully grown inbreds are purchased for our planting. Our 
fields are carefully separated from each other and from other 
fields of sweet or field corn to prevent improper pollination. 
The fields are detasselled as often as necessary in this very 
important work. The corn is cured and dried in large, airy 
sheds resulting in bright, clean seed free from mold. 
Our seed is carefully screened and graded to meet the 
demands of machine planters. The round kernels are separated 
from the flat ones, each in turn being worked into more uniform 
grades. Large and medium grades of round kernels are made 
and sold at special discounts. (See price list). We urge those 
who have not planted round kernels to try them. They will 
be found to be as satisfactory as the flat ones. 
All our hybrids are yellow in color and range from extremely 
early to late season. When all are planted at the same time, 
they will give a nearly continuous harvest for three weeks. 
Midseason varieties are suggested for later plantings to extend
