A descriptive catalogue of vegetables for canning and quick freezing. 18 ASSOCIATED SEED GROWERS, Corn trials: Asgrow Midwestern breeding station, Franklin, Indiana SWEET CORN Sweet corn has been a leader with us for over eighty years during which time we have originated many well-known varieties. Our production program includes the mainte- nance of excellent strains of standard sorts and the development of new, superior lines. Through the use of more recent breeding methods for the improvement of sweet corn varieties, we have developed, through nearly twenty years of controlled pollina- tion, many inbred lines of high merit. The crossing of these produces hybrids^ of outstanding vigor, uniformity and productivity. Disease resistance is also a vital factor and we can now furnish various varieties that are highly resistant to Stewart's disease or bacterial wilt. The number of days indicated for each variety represents average trial row readings for many years at our Eastern breeding station, Milford, Conn. In some sections maturity dates will naturally be different. Varieties marked (y) have yellow kernels; those marked (w) have white.
