Hybrids 
Hybrid field and garden corn possesses su- 
perlor vigor and yielding qualities. Do not 
save seed harvested from hybrids as there is 
a genetic interruption with a loss in vigor and 
uniformity. A true hybrid is newly crossed 
for each seed crop from pure parent lines. 
This is accomplished by alternate planting of 
the inbred parents, by detasseling of the fe- 
male rows, through rogueing and _ isolation 
from other kinds. 
CARMELCROSS HYBRID (75 days)— 
This vigorous, golden hybrid grows 5 to 6 feet 
high with scant foliage, bearing ears 7 by 1%
