THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS 
Aunt Mary 's Sweet Corn Seed 
This 1941 season on Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn Seed 
is the first one in which I have made a profit. In all 
five of the preceding seasons I spent more money in 
advertising Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn that I received 
from my sales. This year, however, my daughter, my 
sister, and my banker, all insisted that I must cut out 
all my advertising, which I did. As a result my sales 
of 14 pound, V 2 pound and 1 pound bags of seed have 
decreased, but my wholesale business in 5 pound, 10 
pound, 15 pound, 20 pound and 25 pound bags with 
Market Gardeners has increased enough to make up for 
the decrease in retail sales. The money saved in my 
advertising account produced a nice little profit. 
I hope all my friends will notice that the increase 
in the wholesale business was all produced by individ¬ 
ual market gardeners telling or writing other individual 
market gardeners, that more money could be made on 
green ears of Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn than could be 
made on other varieties. I am counting upon more and 
more enthusiasm each year from the market gardeners. 
Now if you, Reader, would like to be able to purchase 
in season for your own table, green ears of what I 
believe to be the best sweet corn in the world, just 
show this article to your own home town gardener, 
and also send me his name and address. The local 
gardener will thank you and so will I.

Peony Planting 
September is considered the best 
month in which to plant Peonies be¬ 
cause they can usually make enough 
root growth to hold them in the ground 
during the winter. However, they can 
be planted during October, November, 
and in December until the ground 
freezes. 
Late planted peonies need a deeper 
covering of straw than those planted
