Greater Crops 
of Choicer Vegetables 

The world over, growers are constantly striving for 
higher standards. They seek greater size or better color 
or earliness or unusual sweetness, or a combination of 
all these characteristics. Only rarely do they succeed, 
however, in perfecting as grand and good a new 
thing as 
60- Dap Makegood Tt , has tmIy “ mad f T good” 
*-L- r ° wherever grown. .Northern 
iJl V eet COVTl Canada and other cool sea- 
son regions, may now enjoy 
as delicious Sweet Corn as more favorite regions climatically. 
The plants have an unusually thrifty constitution, do not 
stool or “sucker" and generally perfect two handsome ears of 
medium size and pearly whiteness in from fifty-five to sixty 
days from date of planting. Pkt. 15c, pint 55c, qt. $1.00 post- 
paid. 
The Diener * s one mos ^ remar kable creations 
in its class. This past season, on our 
1 OmatO own farms, it outyielded every other 
known standard by two-to-one. Many 
of the surprisingly vigorous plants yielded as high as fifty lbs. 
of fruit. And such fruits! Scarlet beauties of great size, 
solidity and a matchless flavor. Pkt. 20c postpaid; 3 
pkts. 50c.
