ALLEN’S CHOICE. Or an improved Malakoff which 
was brought to this country by the U. S. Government from 
Russia, and was the earliest Corn ever grown. Has been 
grown by a local market gardener and carefully selected 
by him until he has a distinct variety of the Malakoff of 
his own. After careful inspection we have made arrange¬ 
ments to supply our trade with this corn, calling it 
“Allen’s Choice.” Not only the sweetest but the largest 
early Corn, better and earlier, by far, than Peep O’Day. 
White in color. 
BARDEN’S WONDER BANTAM. A beautiful yellow 
corn, superior to the Golden Bantam, both in size and in 
quality. Stalks grow from 5 to 6 feet high, ears 8 to 10 
in. in length. As early as the Golden Bantam. It is a 
variety that is worthy of a trial by any market gardener, 
canner or gardener. We consider it the best improved 
Golden Bantam yet put on the market. You will be get¬ 
ting both size and quality in this Corn. Took Mr. Barden 
five years to perfect. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. A well-known and de¬ 
serving old sort that has always been very popular, due 
to its large, compact ears of irregular rows. 
DE DUE’S GOLDEN GIANT SUGAR CORN. The fa- 
moLis winner of many horticultural prizes. This is no fake 
variety; it is exactly what the gardener has been # looking 
for. Of even better quality than Golden Bantam ; will 
yield twice as much per acre; larger eared and larger stalk, 
making it the most productive of the best yellow Sweet 
Corns in existence. We have purchased a limited quantity 
of this seed from the originator. This we offer in limited 
quantities. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. This is a Sweet Corn of most 
exquisite quality, which, when ready to use, is of a bright 
golden yellow color. It looks rich and is rich, and no mis¬ 
take. It can be planted very early, as it is as hardy as the 
Extra Early Adams. The small stalks can grow closely 
together in the row and will produce two or three ears 
each. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
MARCROSS C6.13 (y) Developed by the Connecticut 
Experiment Station as a first early market and home-garden 
variety. Introduced in 1937 and already in wide demand. 
Stalks short but sturdy, highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. 
Ears long, plump, abruptly tapered at tips ; 10-14 rowed, 
with light cream-yellow, medium-broad kernels of good quality. 
Heights of stalk, 5 ft. ; length of ear, 7 in. ; 72 days. 
Postpaid, 14 lb., 10c; 1 lb., 35c. Express, 10 lbs., $2.75. 
Celery 
Nothing is harder to please a customer with than Celery seed. 
To overcome this we are aiming to bring each variety to a per¬ 
fect standard as our other “Guaranteed Seeds” and to those who 
have never used our seeds, we can only ask a trial on our 
Celery seeds and let your future seed order be governed by the 
results. 
GIANT PASCAL. One of the best on the market. It 
produces perfect branched stalks, 2 ft. long, crisp and thick, 
blanches early and easily, fine keeper and shipper. 34 oz , 10c; 
1 oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.45. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. A great self-blanching 
variety, easily marketed and a great keeper, of fine quality 
and has just enough of the nutty flavor that makes Celery 
popular for flavoring and eating. 34 oz., 10c; 34 oz., 20c; 
1 oz., 30c. 
CRESS 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt-resistant—high 
yield—uniform. We recommend this new hybrid for places 
where Stewart’s disease (wait) makes it impossible to 
grow ordinary varieties. This corn, the product of cross¬ 
ing two pure lines, is not only resistant to bacterial wilt 
(Stewart’s disease) but produces larger crops of beautiful 
ears. The ears have 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow ker¬ 
nels, uniform in length (about 8 inches) of excellent qual¬ 
ity. Matures a week later than Golden Bantam, the whole 
crop ripening at about the same time. This crossed seed 
will produce the true Golden Cross Bantam described 
above in 1940. Seed from the 1940 crop cannot be saved 
for 1941, as it will break down. The cross has to be made 
each year. 34 lb., 10c; 34 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 
10 lbs., $2.00. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE. (50 days.) Blue skies and 
sunshine have combined their divinely guided chemistry 
to produce the nectar-like sweetness of this delicious golden 
corn. The ears are compact, about same size as Golden 
Bantam, but more refined in appearance, having - from ten 
to twelve rows of grain instead of eight as Golden Ban¬ 
tam. It is a very rapid grower; earliest of the golden 
group. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. Known everywhere. An 
old one but still king of the best, considering everything. 
HYBRID SPANCROSS C2 
WATER CRESS. An improved Cress. Grows in ponds
