Grow Your Own SWEET CORN 
Only corn that is served within an hour or two 
after gathering is really corn at its best. Only when 
you grow your own is this possible. 
All our varieties are of good quality and we 
hesitate to recommend any one as being the best. 
We prefer the Hybrids knowing that they give you 
more edible ears per row.
