Try Ruby Swiss Chard 

Hybrid corn seed is produced by crossing two pure inbred strains. To do this in the field the tassels must be removed from the female 
rows before pollen is shed. As the tassels do not all come out the same day we have to go over our fields of hybrid corn many times. 
Sweet corn is detasseled by crews of girls under the supervision of aforeman. Field corn detasseling is done by men. 
Many new vegetable varieties are very limited as to localities in which they do well. For 
this reason, we hesitate to recommend large plantings of varieties that have not proven their 
worth under your special conditions. The following new varieties seem to be valuable additions 
to our vegetable list and we believe they are worthy of a trial. 
STREAMLINER GREEN SNAP BEAN: 50 days. 
A new addition to our family of green bush beans 
whose name is very descriptive. It is very modernly 
streamlined. The pods are medium green in color, 
straight, long and oval in shape. In the past we 
have had new varieties with as long pods but Stream- 
liner is the first to combine this character with high 
quality and freedom from strings. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
4 Ib. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 65 cts.; 5 Ibs. $1.25; 
15 Ibs. $3.40; 100 lbs. $17.00. 
RUBY SWISS CHARD: 50 to 60 days. Last Spring 
we included Ruby Chard in our trial gardens. 
Throughout the first part of the season we looked 
upon it as a novelty and did not consider that it had 
any particular worth. Finally we cut some of the 
smaller leaves and took them to the house for dinner. 
Ruby is the best chard we ever ate. To us it has a 
very decided beet flavor and we believe anyone who 
likes “Beet Greens” will be enthusiastic about Ruby 
Chard. The rich red veined leaves and stems also 
can be used very effectively with cut flowers. Pkt. 
15 cts.; % oz. 60 cts. oz. $1.00. 

Mr. Harold Coons of Castleton, N. Y. tested Seneca Giant last 
summer. In the fall he mailed us the above photograph together 
with a very complete report. Mr. Coons writes, “I would say that 
anyone wanting a high yielding, good quality, large uniform ears 
and a eighty to eighty-five day corn, this variety could well be 
recommended.” 
SENECA GIANT SWEET CORN: 90 days. 116 
kernels per oz. A new hybrid that our plant breed- 
ing department has developed for the grower whose 
market calls for a large eared sweet corn. Seneca 
Giant is a few days later than Golden Cross, produces 
an 8 ft. stalk bearing well filled giant ears 12 to 14 
inches long. The kernels, 16 to 18 rows, are rich 
yellow in color and of fair quality. Pkt. 15 cts.;
