Sweet Corn Hybrids For 1950 
HUNTINGTON BROTHERS are pleased to present their 
offerings of hybrid sweet corn for 1950. Grant was first offered 
in 1948. This new yellow hybrid was designed to fill the gap 
between Carmelcross and Lincoln. The result has been very 
successful. The demand for Grant has far exceeded our expect- 
ations. Market growers especially are very enthusiastic over 
this new hybrid. All the varieties on our list except Golden 
Cross Bantam were originated by the Connecticut Agricultural 
Experiment Station. 
We have been growing hybrid sweet corn for many years, 
and offer only that Connecticut-grown seed for sale. When 
our supply of a variety is exhausted, orders are returned. We 
do not buy and sell seed from other sources. 
Every effort is made to produce the very best seed for your 
use. We demand that that seed must be of high germination, 
true to variety traits, and properly graded. Only the most 
carefully-grown inbreds are used in our plantings. Our fields 
are sufficiently separated from each other and from fields of 
field or sweet corn to prevent their cross pollination. The 
seed-bearing parents are detasselled as often as necessary to 
prevent improper pollination. The ears are dried and cured in 
large, airy sheds, insuring bright, clean seed free from mold. 
All seed is thoroughly screened and graded to meet the re- 
quirements of machine planters. Round kernels are separated 
from flat ones and each in turn is worked into more uniform 
grades. Large and medium grades of round kernels are sold 
at special discounts. (See price list). As usual, we urge those ~ 
who have not tried round kernels to plant them. They will be 
found to be fully as satisfactory as the flat ones. | 
Our hybrids are all yellow in color and range from extremely 
early to late season. When planted at the same time, they 
will supply corn for about three weeks. Midseason varieties 
of the highest quality are suggested for later plantings to extend 
your season of sweet corn for home or market. 
We caution against saving seed from hybrid corn you grow.
