Celery, continued 
276 Utah or Golden Crisp © 
130 days. An excellent green celery for fall use or winter storing. 
Matures about 5 days earlier than Giant Pascal. Plants are com- 
pact, stalks broad and thick, exceptionally solid, and when 
blanched are pure white, crisp, and of the most delicious flavor. 
Had the market practically all to itself in Salt Lake City, but now 
its fame has spread far and wide. Sure to prove satisfactory. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 35¢; oz. 60¢; 14 Ib. $2.00. 
275 Winter Queen — Blanches quickly 
120 days. One of the finest dwarf winter celeries we have ever 
grown. It resembles Golden Self-Blanching in height and habit, 
but the leaves are a rich green color and in this respect are not 
unlike those of Giant Pascal. As it blanches quickly it is ready 
for home or market much earlier in the fall. The plants make 
stout bunches of extra-heavy stalks with very large, tightly 
folded, creamy white hearts which are tender, crisp and of excel- 
lent flavor. Valuable for home and market garden. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 oz. 25¢; oz. 45¢; 14 Ib. $1.60. 
BURPEE'S SWEET CORN 
Plant the seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has become thoroughly warm. Sow 
either in rows 2% to 4 ft. apart, spacing the seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in the row, and thinning later to 
12 inches; or plant in hills 3 to 4 ft. each way, allowing 2 to 4 plants to remain in each hill, depending 
on the fertility of your soil. For a continuous supply, sow varieties which mature in succession; also 
make succession sowings every 10 to 14 days, allowing enough time for your last planting to mature 
before the first expected frost in your locality. Sweet Corn maturing in the faH is excellent. Corn 
should be planted in blocks rather than in a single long row, since pollination and the development 
of a full set of kernels are then insured. One pkt. will plant 4 rows, each 25 ft. long; 1 Ib. 300 hills. 
Hybrid Sweet Com- Wilt resistant 
Hybrid Corns are of special value to market growers and canners and many home gardeners 
because the ears from one planting mature at about the same time; in addition to this uniformity of 
maturity they are noted for their high yield and resistance to Stewart’s disease or bacterial wilt. 
If you prefer to pull ears from one sowing over a longer period, plant an open pollinated or standard 
variety of corn. To produce Hybrid Sweet Corn, crosses between an inbred strain and a standard 
variety or crossing two inbreds must be done each year. Seed saved from hybrids will not come 
true to type the following year. You must get new Hybrid Sweet Corn seed each year.
