Geneva New York Hybrids are the rule with sweet corn growers. With mid season and main season varieties favored over early and late types. Dr Donald W Barton reviewing tests at the Cornell University Experiment Station here said sweet corn breeders are trying to combine in one hybrid the characteristics most wanted by growers processors and consumers. Seneca Arrow and Tendergold are mid season types rated well for processing. They mature a week to 10 days ahead of Golden Cross. For deeper narrower kernels boned have developed Tender most and Iochief. They produce heavy yields of corn but their utility is not as good as that of den Cross. Seneca Chief is prey popular and produces good quality corn over a long period. It is also a heavy yielder in terms of number of cars. Victory Golden is a late main season variety which yields heavily and cuts well. It resembles Golden Cross in type of kernel but the ears average heavier and are easier to harvest.
