HYBRID SWEET CORN 
The sweet corn of a few years ago cannot be compared to 
the sweet corn of today, and improvements are continually 
being made. The latest development is what is known as 
HYBRID SWEET CORN. There are a number of HYBRIDS 
that can be secured, but the most popular one is the GOLDEN 
CROSS BANTAM. This HYBRID is a cross between two in- 
breds known as Purdee No. 51 and Purdee No. 39. 
Some people claim that GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM will 
produce 40% more marketable ears than ordinary stock. Ears 
usually run 12 rows and are about the same length as ears of 
Golden Bantam. Strange to say, however, HYBRID CORN 
will not reproduce itself so it is necessary to make new crosses 
each year, and for this reason it cannot be sold at the same 
price as regular sweet corn, but the increased yield will more 
than offset the difference in cost. It is about a week later 
than Golden Bantam. The chief points in its favor are the 
following: ITS PRODUCTIVITY; ITS RESISTANCE TO 
DISEASE: ITS EVEN RIPENING: ITS GOOD FLAVOR; ITS 
MEDIUM SIZED EARS. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.25. 
CRESS 
Pepper Grass (Curled). The leaves, when young, have a warm, 
pungent taste, and are used as a salad, either alone or mixed 
with other salad plants. 
Water. A delicate, pungent salad plant, very agreeable alone 
or mixed with other salads. Entirely distinct from common 
cress, thriving only where its roots are submerged.

CUCUMBERS 
Boston Pickling. This is a very productive variety that is 
extensively grown for pickles. The vines are vigorous. The 
fruits are bright green, of medium size, very smooth and 
symmetrical. The flesh is crisp and tender. 
Davis Perfect. This cucumber has an ideal shape and a 
beautiful dark green color. Its eating qualities are unsur¬ 
passed, both because of its fine flavor and its small number of 
seeds. 
Long Green, Improved. The vines are very vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. The fruit is very long, growing frequently from 12 
to 15 inches, and are uniformly slender and of a beautiful 
dark green color. The large warts and spines are well dis¬ 
tributed over the surface. 
Short Green, or Early Frame. A vigorous and productive va¬ 
riety producing fruit of medium size and regular form; flesh 
crisp and tender; excellent for the table or pickling. 
White Spine, Improved. One of the best sorts for trade use, 
fruiting early and abundantly; fruit uniformly straight and 
handsome; light green, with a few white spines. 
Everbearing. This is not only a very early 
variety but is also extremely prolific. If the 
fruit is kept gathered, vines will continue in 
bearing throughout the season. The fruit is of 
medium size and rich dark green color, aver¬ 
aging from four to five inches in length. 
Klondike—White Spine Type. Used principally 
for long distance shipping, as the deep green 
color holds extremely well. The ends taper 
slightly, fruit smooth and symmetrical but not 
as long as some other long varieties. It is 
very valuable on account of its earliness. 
Usual size 7x2% inches. 
LONG GREEN Cucumbers, postpaid. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c; % lb. 35c;

KLONDIKE 
Longfellow. This new and greatly improved 
cucumber belongs to the white spine family, 
therefore is inclined to turn white as it ap¬ 
proaches maturity, but never shows any trace 
of yellow. Its color is exceptional, being fully 
equal to cucumbers grown under glass. Pkt.

EGG PLANT ENDIVE 
Black Beauty. The fruit is broad and thick, of most attrac¬ 
tive form, and does not fade or change to a lighter color at 
the blossom end. The fruits set freely, and are ready for

frost.
