ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 7 
ADAPTED MARKET SWEET CORN HYBRIDS 
Here’s a brand new first early market hybrid, 
Seneca Daybreak, that is as early as Seneca 60 
and at the same time has the size and eye appeal 
that so many growers are looking for. 
202 SENECA DAYBREAK: 63 days. A new 
hybrid having the extra earliness of Seneca 
60 with ear and plant characters of later 
market hybrids. Seneca Daybreak is un- 
usually vigorous in the seedling stage—gets 
off to a fast early start. Plants are sturdy, 
5 ft., having dark green foliage, dark green 
husks with good ear or streamer leaves and 
good tip coverage. Ears 7” long with 12 
rows of rich yellow kernels well-filled to the 
tips and attractive in appearance. Quality 
is good; yield of marketable ears is high. 
Seneca Daybreak is susceptible to bacterial 
wilt unless protected from flea beetles by 
spray or dust. Pkt. 25¢; 1% lb. 70¢; Ib. 
$1.10; 2 lbs. $2.15; 5 lbs. $3.35; 10 lbs. $6.00;

corn. If you have a market that demands a large 
ear regardless of quality, then grow Seneca Dawn 
for your first early hybrid.

WILT CONTROL 
Spray and dust programs will control 
flea beetles which spread bacterial wilt. 
Check with your county agent for con- 
trol recommendations. 
HOW TO FREEZE CORN ON THE COB 
To successfully freeze sweet corn on the cob, a variety with a small cob gives best 
results. We suggest using Seneca Chief. 
Ears should be blanched in boiling water for 
6 minutes and cooled immediately in ice water. Ears can then be placed in cellophane 
bags and placed in the freezer. 
To prepare corn for table use, remove it from the cellophane bags, place in a shallow 
tin and heat in oven until the ears are thoroughly warmed through to the center of the 
cob.

We forecast that you will see a lot of this new 
hybrid, Golden Beauty Sweet Corn. It is a winner! 
Also the young lady, another Golden Beauty. She 
is Martha Ethel Utley from Los Angeles, Cali- 
fornia. This young lady, only eight years old, has 
already made a name for herself as a dancer and 
singer on television. We also understand that she 
has passed a screen test for Paramount pictures.
