ways smooth, and do not crack badly. It is a splendid 
early table variety and is unexcelled for canning. A 
profitable early market sort because of its handsome ap¬ 
pearance and the big crops it produces. Pkt., 10c; oz.,

New Penn State, Self Pruning 
A Tremendous Yielder 
Early, with a distinctive habit of growth. The branches 
end in clusters of fruit after developing six to ten joints. 
Makes a compact bush, having the fruits exposed to the 
sun without pruning. Medium size fruits, dark red, globe- 
shaped. Very heavy yielder. One of the 1936 winners of 
Special Mention in All America Selections. Pkt., 10c;

CULTURE.—Sow the seed in March and April in the hotbed, 
or in pots in a sunny exposure in the house. If it is desired to 
make very stocky plants they may be transplanted when about 
two or three inches high. When six or eight inches high, if the 
ground lias become warm, transplant to the open ground, on a 
rainy or cloudy day, if possible; if not, the young plants should 
be liberally watered and shaded from the hot sun. Set the plants 
four to five feet apart each way.
