Our Greenhouses. 
What is meant by 
“Proven” Radish 
Seed? Just this. In 
harvesting our seed 
crop every lot pro¬ 
duced on every farm 
is kept separate, then 
brought to the seed 
house where it is 
thoroughly cleaned 
by the latest im¬ 
proved fanning mills. 
It is then run over 
our Gravity machines 
which removes the 
uneven weight seed, 
lea vin g only the 
cream of the crop. 
It is then packed 120 
pounds per bag and a 
sample drawn from 
each bag. These 
samples are number¬ 
ed and then taken to 
our greenhouses 
where 100 seed of 
each sample are 
planted in rows six 
inches apart as 
shown in the picture. 
This greenhouse is 
run cold, no heat on. 
When mature we pull 
each row and experts 
compare the color, 
shape, type and 
markings, also the 
leaf growth, and if 
not 99% pure, it is 
not offered for sale.

Sweet Corn—Resistant to Stewards Disease, or Bacterial Wilt 
633 Top Crossed Bantam Seed. Purdue Inbred No. 39 Top Crossed on 
10-14 Rowed Golden Bantam 
A hybrid type of Golden Bantam bred to resist Stewart’s Disease or bacterial wilt. For several 
years in different sections of the country market gardeners, home planters and canning factories have 
experienced difficulty in securing proper tonnage from various plantings of Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. 
Some fields, where apparently one would have a perfect stand, the crop would grow nicely until about ready 
to develop the ear and then would begin to turn brown on the tip of the stalk and this would continue all 
the way down right to the root growth having the appearance of a field that was frosted. Investigation 
proved that the disease was in the soil and the stalk was rotting just above the ground. This disease is 
now known as Stewart’s Disease and has been found more prevalent in moderate warm climates and espe¬ 
cially among the extra early varieties of Corn such as Golden Bantam. It is questionable whether this is a 
disease of the soil or the seed and the only solution has been top-crossed breeding such as offered here. 
If you had any difficulty along this line we suggest that you use this Top-Crossed Bantam Sweet Corn 
Seed this year and while the cost per pound is much higher than the standard varieties, it is practically 
immune from this disease and will prove more profitable to you at harvest time. Supply is very limited 
so please order early. 2 oz. pkt., 15 cts.; y 2 lb., 30 cts.; 1 lb., *55 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.
