MICHAEL-LEONARD feads the world 
in Hybrid Sweet Corn Research . . . 
No other firm, the world around, has devoted so much 
patient, scientific research to Hybrid sweet corn. 
For more than 25 years our entire staff of expert plant 
breeders has been crossing and re-crossing thousands of strains 
into countless combinations. From this unparalleled experi- 
mentation and research has come some of the world’s finest 
sweet corn hybrids—-sweet corn endowed with just the right 
combination of the right characteristics. 
One planting of this corn proves that it gives 
greater yields, grows more vigorously, has a strong- 
er root system, is more resistant to wind, drouth, in- 
sects and corn diseases, has amazingly uniform ear 
height. Its large juicy kernels, covered with a tissue- 
thin pericarp, are baby-tended and sugary sweet- 
and, best of all—it makes for better eating. 
Try it. See for yourself what a tremendous dif- 
ference this greatly improved hybrid sweet corn makes. 

Here Dr. Stuart N. Smith, our research di- 
rector, is found in a plot of experimental 
sweet corn inbreds.
