Huron 
HURON. An extremely wilt-resistant AsGROwW hybrid with many 
attractions for the market grower. The plants are vigorous, with 
few suckers and with unusual resistance to heat and drought, 
yielding consistently heavy crops of long, tapered ears, mainly 
12-14 rowed, with long, unusually dark green husks. The kernels 
are deeper and narrower than those of Golden Cross Bantam 
and a little lighter in color. Extensive trials and commercial use 
have shown Huron to have considerable resistance to earworms. 
For maximum yields, plant corn only on soils 
of relatively high pH. Though requirements 
vary according to local conditions, many suc- 
cessful growers apply a complete fertilizer in 
bands at time of seeding, followed by another 
application, somewhat heavier, when the plants 
are 12” high and by a supplement of sodium 
nitrate at the time of Jast cultivation. On most 
varieties, earworm control with a suitable in- 
secticide is essential for fancy grade ears. 
Peoria 
PEORIA. White. A high quality, late hybrid developed by asGrow. 
The plants are very tall and vigorous, almost suckerless, with 
excellent resistance to Stewart’s wilt. The large ears, borne high 
on the stalk, are long and cylindrical, with 12-16 rows of tender, 
excellently flavored, white kernels. Peoria has consistently shown 
low earworm damage. A very heavy yielder, the ears holding 
unusually long at prime picking stage. A very desirable variety 
for growers with a market for white sweet corn.

CUCUMBER 
As with melons and squashes, the critical period for insect control 
comes in the first three weeks after emergence. Many growers 
find it practical to place several bee hives nearby, prior to 
blossoming, to ensure adequate pollination. Lack of nitrogen 
and water are two of the chief deterrents to high yields of No. 1 
fruit. ALANAP is recommended for weed control.
