FIVE NEW VEGETABLES for 1924 
For 1924 we are offering five outstanding new 
varieties of vegetables which we know from 
comparative trials are decided improvements 
in their classes. 
Burpee’s Delicious Sweet Corn 
Burpee’s Delicious is a development out of the famous 
Burpee Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. Its most outstanding 
feature is the fact that it is the only white sweet 
corn that has the flavor and substance of 
Golden Bantam. The ears grow eight inches long 
and are closely set with broad and deep kernels of a pearly 
white color. Truly, there is no other white Sweet Corn 
that can compare with Burpee’s Delicious in lusciousness 
and buttery flavor. Burpee’s Delicious makes a strong 
vigorous plant with two fine ears to each stalk. 
Pkt. 25c; ’/2 lb. $1.00; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 
Burpee’s Sunnybrook Sweet Corn 
This originated on the same ear of corn as Burpee’s Deli¬ 
cious. In many respects, such as its rich substance and 
fine buttery taste it is identical with Burpee's Golden 
Bantam. However, the ears are borne on taller and heavier 
stalks and they measure nearly eight inches in length. 
The kernels are broad and deep. They are a bright 
yellow color when the ears are ready for table use. It 
matures a few days ahead of Burpee's Delicious and has 
the characteristic buttery taste which heretofore was the 
sole property of Burpee's Golden Bantam. 
Pkt. 25c; i/ 2 lb. $1.00; lb. $2.00, postpaid. 
Fosrdhook Giant Swiss Chard 
Burpee’s Fordhook Giant is an outstanding new Swiss 
Chard of most attractive appearance. The thick, pearly 
white stems measure two and one half inches in width. 
They may be served as a separate dish in the same manner 
as Asparagus for which they are a splendid summer sub¬ 
stitute. Swiss Chard is one of the great health¬ 
giving greens that will yield continuously during the 
warm summer weather. The leaves are a rich deep green 
and they are much crinkled or savoyed. As a boiling green 
the flavor is even finer than that of spinach. 
Pkt. 25c; oz. 50c; 4 oz. $1.50, postpaid. 
Philadelphia Bush Lima Bean 
This is the earliest of all Lima Beans in existence, 
and should prove exceptionally valuable for cooler sections 
where the late Lima Beans do not mature. In the Southern 
states it is destined to take the place of the small Sieva or 
butter bean. The average pods measure 4^ inches in 
length and 1| inches in width. The pods contain four 
large beans of most luscious flavor. The pods are 
borne in the greatest abundance. 
Pkt. 25c; V 2 lb. 55c; lb. $1.00; 2 lbs. $1.85; 5 lbs. 
$4.50, postpaid. 
New Self-Pruning Tomato 
The name Self-Pruning explains one of the outstanding 
characteristics of this most valuable novelty. While the 
plant is still comparatively small it sends out side branches or 
laterals without being pinched. At every joint of these 
lateral branches there are borne clusters of fruits. The 
fruits are of a bright pinkish red color. They are 
smooth and solid. The form is an ideal globe shape, 
so much wanted by the housewives because they are so 
easily prepared for the table. In season it is a 
second early variety of unusual productiveness. The flavor 
is luscious and tasty. 
Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. $2.00; oz. $3.50, postpaid.
