*Eke Winners in the All America 

 Vegetable Selections 

 for 1944 



The 1944 winners represent a trio which is hard to beat. 

 Everyone is a "must" in the home garden where the popu- 

 lar vegetables count for so much. The rigid standard set by 

 the judges of the All America Selections insures novelties 

 which 'are distinct not only in appearance but greatly 

 superior in quality to the older varieties.

New Sureheading Summer 



LETTUCE 

 457 Great Lakes 



This new crisp-head lettuce belongs to the popular Iceberg 

 type and therefore resembles some of the Imperial strains 

 which are known- to-head more reliably under adverse con- 

 ditions than others. Great Lakes, however, represents a 

 marked improvement in that it will produce quality heads 

 when all others are bolting to seed. It stands the heat and 

 sun to an exceptional degree and is very resistant to tip- 

 burn. 



It received the highest number of voting points from the 

 Rio Grande Valley of Texas but judges everywhere, such as 

 New England, the Northwest, and the Mid-West were most 

 favorably impressed with the outstanding quality of this 

 wonderful new Lettuce. Pkt. 2Sc.

New BUSH BEAN 

 45 Keystonian 



52 days. Comparison of this new "Honorable Mention" 

 variety with the best older Green-Pod Bush Bean has 

 proved it a decided improvement in several ways. It is a 

 bean of choicest quality with round, meaty, straight pods 

 which are a trifle longer than Tendergreen and entirely 

 stringless at all stages of development. Vigor, productive- 

 ness, and upright growth make it a highly desirable variety 

 for the home garden or market. Pkt. 15c; y!> lb. 40c; lb. 75c; 

 2 lbs. $1.40; 5 lbs. $3.15. 



New Prolific 



CUCUMBER 

 370 Cubit 



So much did the judges of the 1944 

 All America Vegetable Selection think of 

 this new variety as to give it a "Bronze 

 Medal Award." Cubit is a most attrac- 

 tive variety which compares favorably 

 with such popular sorts as Colorado, A 

 and C, and Straight 8, yet has the ad- 

 vantage of maturing more fruits earlier. 

 Furthermore it excels the older sorts by 

 a heavier crop of handsome, dark green, 

 cylindrical fruits with round ends. Cubit 

 is an ideal slicing variety with fine white 

 flesh which remains in first-class condi- 

 tion for a long time after the fruits have 

 been picked. Pkt. 15c; y 2 oz. 45c; oz. 85c; 

 Y 4 lb. $3.10.
