VEGETABLES FOR 1939 
317 Sweet Corn —Burpeecross 
73 days. New Burpee yellow hybrid, nearly two weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. 
The plant is vigorous and very productive, with definite resistance to sweet corn wilt. 
E^rs,grow 6 to 7 in. long, with thick husks, and 12 or 14 rows of medium sized sweet 
and attractive kernels. Burpeecross has the vigor, productivity and even maturity 
that you expect of a good hybrid. We recommend Burpeecross to home and market 
growers everywhere. It is the earliest maturing of the hybrid Sweet Corns.

334 Sweet Corn 
Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid 
90 days. An outstanding white hybrid of the Stowell's 
Evergreen type. It’s remarkably productive, and frankly, 
we think, a bit sweeter and more tender than ordinary 
Stowell’s. Plants grow 8 to 10 ft. tall, ears measure 8 to 9 in. 
with 14 to 18 rows of deep, narrow kernels. If you prefer 
white corn, be sure to make a planting of this splendid 
hybrid. Pkt. 15^; Vz lb. 30^; lb. 50^; 2 lbs. SOfii 
5 lbs. $1.90; 10 lbs. or more @ 35^ per lb. 
237 Carrot 
Supreme Half Long 
73 days. One of the finest carrots introduced during the 
last several years. It is an improved market type of Dan¬ 
vers; roots grow 6 to 7 in. long, 2 in. acfoss the shoulder and 
taper to a half stump. They seem to do well even in a 
fairly heavy soil. The interior color is unusually fine, being 
a deep, rich reddish-orange. The tops are short and sturdy 
in their growth and ideal for bunching. Both home and 
market gardeners will find this carrot very desirable. 
Pkt. lOd; oz. 20^; 4 ozs. 60^; Yz lb. 85^; lb. $1.50; 
2 lbs. $2.75; 5 lbs. $6.60. 
184 Cabbage 
Louisiana Copenhagen 
92 days. A new cabbage, remarkable for the solidity of its 
heads, its small core, earliness, and uniformity of size, head 
shape, and maturity. The heads are more globular than 
Golden Acre or Copenhagen Market, of fine texture, com¬ 
pact, and weigh 3 to 3K lbs. under average conditions. The 
outer leaves are few and small. A glance at the interior of 
a head of Louisiana Copenhagen will convince you of its 
merit. Sure cropper; heavy yielder. Pkt. 15j^; oz. 40^; 
4 ozs. $1.15; Yl lb. $1.85; lb. $3.25.

A Year of Great Progress 
The past season has been one of great achievement; 
many wonderful new varieties have been produced. 
The best of the new vegetables are ojfered on this, 
the opposite and the next page. Each and every one 
of these outstanding varieties is worthy of a place in 
your garden. 
16 Green-Pod Bush Bean 
The Commodore 
Award of Merit All-America Trials for 1938 
53 days. This is another of the vegetables which have 
proved themselves on the widely scattered All-America Trial 
grounds. In these trial plantings, it displayed qualities which 
should be of interest to all bean growers. Because of the size 
and shape of the pods, this bean is sometimes called a dwarf 
Kentucky Wonder. These pods are 7 in. or more in length, 
tender, fleshy, and stringless at all stages of growth. The 
large size of the pods, and the abundance with which they 
are borne, causes the bean to be one of the most prolific of 
all bush types. Seeds are a rich wine-red.
