VATES NON-HEADING Se ot ie a tee ee en Ons 
The plant is low growing, broad and spreading. No true heads are formed, 
but the inner leaves may curl somewhat. Overwinters in Virginia with 
practically no injury. The leaves are very broad bladed, thick textured, 
slightly curled sidewise and lengthwise. Veins very prominent. The color 
is a brilliant, glossy green, but sometimes grayish green, with a light, waxy 
bloom. There is no purpling of veins or leaves. It seeds late. Preferred 
by canners because of the texture and lack of purpling. Bred and intro- 
duced by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station, from which the name 
VATES is derived. 
HYBRID SWEET CORNS 
Hybrid Corns presented here are the result of eighteen years of corn 
breeding work by our company and close cooperation with the men at the 
various state and federal institutions doing Sweet Corn breeding work. With- 
out their cooperation and development work, Hybrids Sweet Corn would not be 
advanced to its today’s position in the Sweet Corn field. To these men we ex- 
press our most sincere gratitude. 
Data presented are comparative and taken as an average of our many 
years of trials. Your maturity dates may vary for a given location, due to soil 
fertility, climate and growing area. 
It is our sincere hope that we may add to or replace these present day 
hybrids of a given maturity with better adapted, higher producing, better 
quality, more drought tolerant, insect tolerant and disease resistant hybrids 
through our extensive breeding and trial program in cooperation with the 
state and federal institutions. 
No phase is overlooked to give you as near perfect seed as is possible 
from the standpoint of production, which includes careful maintenance of 
highly productive inbred lines, proper detasseling in production fields, careful 
harvest, drying and milling with the best modern equipment.
