Buist’s Vegetable Specialties 
Buist s Sixty-Day Early Yellow Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Buist Selection 1941. We now have available the earliest and sweetest variety produced, matur¬ 
ing in 60 to 64 days. This newest of Hybrid Corns has been tested extensively throughout 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey with excellent results. It is our choice for the early home garden 
as well as a profitable market garden variety, due to the fact that it matures ahead of 
any drought and the ears are of good uniformity. The quality of the ear is better 
than open-pollinated 60 Day Yellow. It is as large, 50% more productive, 
and highly resistant to Stewart’s Wilt. The plant is short, 5 ft., with 
stocky, heavy stalks of a dark green color. Ears chunky, 7 ins., well filled 
with 12 to 14 rows of light yellow kernels filled with delicious sweet 
pulp. Pkt., I Oc; }>2 lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $4.00. 
Buist's Red Jackson Wonder Bush Lima Bean 
Our New Introduction for 1941. A Butter Bean that will make 
many friends in the South. Order early, as our supply is 
limited. Since the maturity is 65 days, it will likewise be de¬ 
sirable in the Northern states where growing seasons are 
short. Red Jackson Wonder has the same characteristics 
as the popular Baby Lima which is used extensively 
in every home garden in the South, by Canners and 
also commercially as a dry shell bean. The flavor, 
however, is superior whether used green or dry 
shelled. The seed is a brilliant maroon. Pods are 
small, 3 inches long, containing 3 or 4 plump 
beans of delicious, sweet, buttery, lima flavor.

About 
Hy brid 
Crossed Corn 
and its many 
advantages . 
The increased produc¬ 
tion cost of hybrid seed 
corn over open pollinated 
varieties is more than justi¬ 
fied by greater yield, uniform¬ 
ity in size and shape of ears, re¬ 
sistance to disease and ability to 
withstand unsatisfactory growing 
conditions and high winds. 
Hybrid seed will always cost more, 
due to the necessity of yearly de-tas- 
seling and cross-pollinating by hand 
labor under the direction of experienced 
plant breeders and geneticists; and con¬ 
stant experiments to provide improved 
strains. 
Varieties selected for outstanding charac¬ 
teristics are inbred, which means hand pol¬ 
linating from its own tassel, and this usually 
requires from four to six years to accomplish, 
sometimes longer; then, two or more inbreds are 
cross-pollinated to secure the hybrid which con¬ 
tains all the outstanding features of the original 
hybrid parents. 
The varieties we offer are the finest selections from 
thousands of experiments, enabling the grower to re 
alize the most profit on his seed.
