He reported that it withstood very well the cold weather of this spring and that the stalks remained green throughout the summer and fall. He purchased the seed corn from a farmer in Mundelein, who this year raised seed corn which yielded 130 bushels to an acre. A carrot grown in the Wm. Hay garden, the current year, weighs two pounds.
