BREEDERS AND GROWERS OF SEEDS FOR CANNERS 15 SWEET CORN Native of America Sweet Corn has been an important item with us lor seventy years, during which time we have originated a number of the best known canning 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. The number of days indicated for each variety to develop ears to canning stage represents average trial row readings for many years at our Milford, Connecticut breeding farms. Through the use of more recent breeding methods for the improvement of Sweet Corn varieties, we have developed through twelve 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. We can now furnish stocks of some varieties that are highly resistant to Stewart's disease or Bacterial wilt. From these years of experience and from trial plantings by canners and at Agricultural Experiment Stations in various states, we are in position to recommend to our canner customers the particular hybrids or top-crosses that are best adapted to their Country Gentleman Sweet Corn A Leader in Quality among White Varieties.
