OUR LEADERS - OLD AND NEW 



CORN 



GOLDEN SUNSHINE Since its introduction, we have con- 

 ducted yearly trials of this new yellow corn in comparison 

 with other early varieties. We have found it three days 

 earher than our strain of Golden Bantam, and a week to 

 ten days earlier than some other strains. The ears are 

 longer and larger than those of Golden Bantam, and they 

 contain ten or twelve rows of tender yellow kernels that 

 are smaller than those of the other corn. The stalks are 

 of medium height with abundant foliage, and under favor- 

 able conditions each one produces two or more ears of 

 just the right size for serving. 



Truckers and market gardeners have found this 

 variety very profitable, and home gardeners will 

 find it equally suitable for planting as a first early 

 yellow corn.

RADISH 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE By repeated selection and 

 continuous breeding we have developed a strain 

 of this variety, which under favorable conditions 

 will produce table sized roots in 23 days after 

 planting. On account of its exceptional uni- 

 formity of shape and color and its small tops, 

 our strain is preferred by the most important 

 growers in the United States. It is also favored 

 by greenhouse growers, and it is the most popular 

 of home garden radishes. The roots are rich 

 bright scarlet and slightly elongated globe- 

 shaped with small slender tap roots. They 

 remain in table condition until about one inch 

 long. (See further description, page 40, and color 

 plate on inside of front cover.)

TOMATO 



BREAK 0' DAY One of the most recent of the wilt 

 resistant varieties developed by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. An early tomato resem- 

 bling Marglobe but of lighter scarlet color and 

 not so distinctly globe-shaped. Our trials have 

 shown that it is slightly earlier than our stocks of 

 Marglobe. 



The vines are vigorous and productive. We have found 

 that their open habit and the comparatively scant foliage 

 tend to expose the fruits so that in clear hot weather they 

 are likely to sunburn. In the trucking districts where 

 fruits are harvested before fully ripe and the danger of 

 sunburn is not so great, this variety has given excellent 

 satisfaction.

SCARLET TOPPER Two features of this new variety distin- 

 guish it from other tomatoes. It is wilt resistant, and it 

 is of intermediate height of vine. There are other wilt 

 resistant varieties and others of intermediate height, but 

 Scarlet Topper is the first to combine these two characters. 

 It is a midseason or main crop variety, producing a heavy 

 crop of deep scarlet globe-shaped fruits of good size and 

 unusual solidity. The vines are of rugged growth and 

 medium height, with abundant foHage to protect the 

 fruits from hot sun. 



This new tomato was originated by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, and the stock we offer was 

 grown from seed furnished by them. Scarlet Topper will 

 prove profitable in districts where wilt is prevalent, and 

 Southern truck growers will find the smooth sohd fruits 

 particularly suitable for packing and shipping.

Tomato, Ox Heart 



OX HEART The home gardener who delights in introducing 

 unusually good things into his neighborhood will be amply 

 repaid by including Ox Heart in his garden plans this 

 spring. Among large fruited tomatoes this variety is 

 unique. In form it is distinct, since it is almost exactly the 

 shape of a heart as the name implies, and single fruits 

 sometimes weigh more than two pounds. This surprising 

 weight is due to exceptional size and solidity. When 

 sliced, it does not show the large seed compartments of 

 other tomatoes, but looks more like tender steak. This 

 firm red flesh isjion-acid, but instead of being flat-tasting 

 it has a pleasing flavor.
