Vegetable Seed CNovelties for 1942 
Enthusiastic gardeners do not confine their activities solely to the raising of beautiful flowers. The produc- 
tion for the home table of palatable, delicious vegetables is a source of great satisfaction. Purchased vegetables, re- 
gardless of their excellence and quality and the beautiful new methods with which they are packed, invariably 
fail in flavor as compared with home-grown fresh vegetables. In recognition of the ever-growing demand for 
something new in vegetables, we offer a list of the newest developments in the vegetable world. 
Something Entirely New! 
PESsUCGESsION OF SWEET GORN 
We now present for the first time a revolutionary idea 
in the growing of Sweet Corn. Many years ago we intro- 
duced aur famous Long Season Pea Collection. Now, 
we take pleasure in presenting our Long Season Hybrid 
Sweet Corn Collection. As a= result of experiments 
conducted by the Connecticut Experiment Station, which 
is the leading authority on Hybrid Sweet Corn in the 
United States, we are able to offer a collection of 5 
varieties of Hybrid Sweet Corn which will bear in con- 
stant succession for a period exceeding 4 weeks with no 
two varieties ripening together. In order to continue the 
season after the collection has ripened we advise successive 
plantings of Golden Cross Bantam which is the latest variety 
in the collection and which can be planted with safety up 
until July 1st. 
Each one of these varieties has been chosen for its wilt- 
resistant qualities, heavy-bearing propensities and fine 
flavor. For this reason we can offer this collection with 
absolute assurance in the fact that these varieties can be 
classified as wilt-resistant — heavy-bearing — excellent 
flavor. 
Spancross 4.13. Extra-early. 
Marcross 13.6. Early. 
Carmelcross 39.13. Early midseason. 
Whipcross (Lincoln) 39.23. Midseason. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Late midseason. 
Do not forget to provide for extra quantities of Golden 
Cross Bantam for successive planting.

Pole Bean, Decatur 
= All-America Silver Med- 
| al, 1942. Highest award 
in the National Trials of 
new vegetables. Exceed- 
ingly prolific and highest resist- 
ance to disease. The plant at- 
tains a height of about 6 to 7 
feet, bears a heavy crop of prac- 
tically round nearly straight pods 
of meaty stringless beans of a 
dark green shade. We cannot 
recommend this bean too highly.

New Bush Bean, Medal Refugee 
All-America Bronze Medal, 1942. A Refugee type of 
os bean. The first new variety in this class introduced for 
many years. The pods are round and of medium length, 
absolutely stringless and fiberless. The seeds, unlike the 
old Refugee types, are white. This variety is very thrifty in 
growth and will produce a fine crop regardless of weather con- 
ditions. Last season through most drought-ridden areas Medal 
Refugee proved itself impervious to the abnormal growing con- 
ditions (Pkt. 25c7 iulbi, 75ce Ibs, Sil.25;"2, Ibs., $2.25: 
Edible Soy Bean, Green Giant 
This outstanding member of the Soy Bean family has proven 
itself one of the most delicious vegetables ever introduced. 
Several of the famous eating places in New York have featured 
this Bean, cooked green in place of the French Haricot Vert and 
Baby Lima Beans. These Soy Beans are extra early and will 
mature in 76 days from sowing. Possessed of a rich, nutty flavor, 
they will prove a welcome addition to the green vegetables. The 
nutritive value of these Beans has been well established and for 
years they have been the mainstay in the diet of millions of 
Asiatics. Pkt., 25c; Y Ib., 50c; Ib., 85c; 2 Ibs., $1.65.
