The physiolog- ical changes that begin as soon as an ear has been picked make prompt handling imperative and the sooner processing is completed the more satisfactory will be the product. Sweet Corn has been an important item with us for nearly eighty years, during which time we have originated a number of the best known varieties. Our breeding program includes the development of disease resistant strains as well as emphasizing the factors of uniformity in type, tenderness of hull and productivity. Through the use of more recent breeding methods for the improvement of Sweet Corn varieties, we have developed during fourteen years of controlled pollination a number of inbred lines of high merit. The crossing of these produces hybrids of outstanding vigor, uniformity and productivity. Likewise the top-crossing of inbreds on open-pollinated stocks gives uniformity and yields far in advance of those obtained from standard stocks. From these years of experience and from trial plantings in canners' fields and at Agricultural Experiment Stations in various states, we are in position to recommend to our customers the particular hybrids or top crosses best adapted to their sections.
