BREEDERS AND GROWERS 19. Calumet: a recent Asgrow hybrid of wide adaptation SWEET CORN For three generations we have pioneered in sweet corn, since the time when, according to accepted tradition, Everett B. Clark grew the first crop of it which was intended to be used only for seed. In the following half-century we introduced several popular open-pollinated varieties and then, with the advent of modern breeding methods, were privileged to be the first to offer hybrid seed commercially, the hybrid being Redgreen, developed by Dr. D. F. Jones of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Most of our development work on sweet corn is conducted at the Eastern and Midwest Asgrow breeding stations, but in recent years our Southern stations have also had a share in the extensive program, which has produced many of the hybrids listed below, each one adapted to some special conditions of growth or use. The column of Days is based on many recorded trials but is meant primarily to indicate relative periods to the picking stage, since maturity is likely to vary with differing conditions of climate and soil. Varieties marked (y) have yellow kernels; those marked (w) have white.
