USE MICHAEL-LEONARD 
SEEDS 
From its founding in 1884, The Michael-Leonard Company 
has constantly sought to supply only the best of seed to its 
customers. To that end, we support a continuous research 
program — a program which has developed our famous 
POWER-PAK treatment; new improved Sweet Corn; and 
many other advances. All these improved varieties of seed 
are made available to you promptly through your local 
Michael-Leonard Dealer. 
This year—and every year—obtain your seed directly from 
him. He can give you helpful “on-the-spot” advice 
and better seed at lower cost. 
Typical of Michael-Leon- 
ard’s intensive research, is 
our development of fine 
Hybrid Sweet Corn. For 
over 20 years our expert plant breeders have 
been crossing and re-crossing thousands of 
strains. From this unparalleled research has 
come many of the world’s finest Sweet Corn 
Hybrids. In this corn you get a combination of 
only the good qualities of many varieties—skill- 
fully combined into one.
