Hybrid Yellow SWEET CORN © 
Hybrid Corns are of special value to market growers, canners and to many home gar- 
deners because the ears from one planting mature at about the same time; in addition to 
this they are noted for their high yield and resistance to Stewart's disease or bacterial 
wilt. If you prefer to have ears over a long period, plant two or more hybrids of different 
maturity dates. It is not advisable to save seed from plantings of any hybrids because 
there will be a reduction in yield the next year. For best results, be sure to get new seed 
each year, and may we remind you to plant Burpee Seeds, the Best Seeds that Grow.
