143. BLENDED HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid 
Sweet Corn is undoubtedly the finest type of sweet corn. It is 
resistant to Sfewart’s Disease and for yield and quality 
cannot be excelled. It has one objection in the home garden 
in that it matures all at one time. To overcome this we have 
taken and mixed several hybrids of different maturities. By 
planting this mixture you will have the finest quality sweet 
corn throughout the sweet corn season, Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib., 40c;
