size, uniform ears, cob small; a winner in many shelling contests 
Improved Leaming. Select stock. The ears are medium large, golden yellow, with deep 
dented grain, 16 to 18 rowed. Grown for both grain and silo. Matures in 110 days . 
Yellow Sweepstakes. 115 days to make ensilage. Also known as Kato. Seven days 
earlier than Eureka Ensilage Corn. The grain is very large and broad. Makes a good 
tonnage of ensilage with ears in dough stage. This is a favorite with many who have 
made trials for actual food value rather than green weight per acre 
Lancaster Sure Crop. A comparatively early, silage corn producing very large ears in 
115 days. Grain is yellow tinted red. A vigorous, leafy stalk; makes a heavy yield of

Eureka Ensilage. An extra large southern corn grown and selected with great care to 
keep the true vigorous stock. White seed, luxuriant and heavy in stalk and foliage. Will ordi- 
narily produce more tons of ensilage than any other. We have had stalks 17 feet, 10 inches tall 
Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes. This has given many fine records for high yield of ensi- 
lage and grain. In Connecticut, 1932, it yielded 81% bushels of grain per acre; in Rhode 
Island, 21 tons ensilage per acre, which is much higher than Eureka. In the West Vir- 
ginia and Pennsylvania 1934 experimental trials, it yielded 17% tons per acre—the high- 
est yield of any ensilage corn. The leaves and stalks stay green long after the ears are 
mature 
U. S. No. 44. Hybrid yellow dent of remarkable vigor suitable for either shell corn 
or ensilage in Connecticut. Very attractive dark green leafy plants that have unusual 
ability to stand erect. Ears silked only two days later than Sure Crop ............... 
U. S. No. 13 Hybrid. Very much the same as U.S. 44, though adaptable over a wider 
territory. These two corns are the most outstanding in performance of the hundreds 
tested for use in Connecticut except in the higher sections of Litchfield County; they

Ackersalat—Macha o Valerianilla 
—Valerianello o Insalata 
It is sown on the first opening of spring in rows 
one foot apart, and is fit for use in six weeks from 
the time of sowing. If wanted for very early 
spring it may be sown in September and covered 
as soon as cold weather sets in, and is wintered 
over the same as spinach.

Cress—Water 
Wasser Kresse—Crescione Acquatico 
This is a well-known hardy, perennial aquatic 
plant, growing abundantly along the margins of 
running streams, ditches and ponds. Where it 
does not grow naturally it is easily introduced by 
planting, and it increases, both by spreading of 
the roots, and by seeding. 
True Water Cress. Failed. 

Improved Early Fortune Cucumber 
Cucumbers 
Gurken—Pepino—Cetriolo 
Make rich hills of well-rotted manure, two feet 
in diameter, and plant a dozen or more seeds, 
covering half an inch deep. When all danger from 
insects is over, pull all but three or four of the 
strongest plants. The middle of June is early 
enough to plant for pickling. Make the hills about 
six feet apart. For early cucumbers the hot-bed 
is necessary.
