Vegetable IN, ON aveltics for 1943 
With the institution of the Victory Garden Campaign last year a great many gardeners who confine their activities to the raising of 
flowers and ornamental plants swung into vegetable growing with varied results, many satisfactory. 
were made, but errors that can be easily rectified another year. 
To those who did not attempt vegetable growing last year we wish to state that there is a great deal of fun in the production of beautiful 
and palatable vegetables. Let it also be remembered that vegetables of home garden quality can rarely, if ever, be purchased. The reason for 
this is that varieties of great flavor are often not satisfactory for commercial shipping purposes and in a great many instances the flavor of 
the varieties of the commercially grown vegetables has been sacrificed in the interest of tougher shipping qualities. 
A SPECIAL LIST OF HIGH VITAMIN VEGETABLES 
BEET, LUSCIOUS GREEN TOP. A variety of Beet that is 
grown primarily for its bright green tops that are prepared 
the same as Spinach. These leaves are not only more 
palatable and more highly satisfying than ordinary beet 
TURNIP, SEVEN TOP. This is the variety of Turnip green 
that is used in making the famous ‘pot likker’’ of the 
South. Accredited as being the highest vitamin content 
tops, but they contain a higher percentage of vitamins. 
The root is a pink type that is quite satisfactory as an 
all-purpose Beet. Pkt., 20c;:0z., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50. 
MUSTARD SPINACH, TENDERGREEN. The famous mustard 
greens of the South in an improved form. A real tangy 
green vegetable that can be prepared in many ways to 
make it increasingly palatable. One of the highest vita- 
min-bearing vegetables. Resistant to heat and drought.

MoV eCESSI@ NOE SWEET CORN 
Introduced by us last year, this marvelous collection met 
with instantaneous approval. The results obtained last sea- 
son were a source of great satisfaction. Many years ago we 
introduced our 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. 
Method of Handling 
At the time when you usually sow your early Sweet Corn, arrange to plant the 
entire collection together. Every 2 weeks thereafter plant an additional quantity of 
Golden Cross Bantam until the latest possible date.

The first new variety 
in this class introduced for 
many years. The pods are 
round and of medium length, 
absolutely stringless and fi- 
berless. The seeds, unlike the 
old Refugee types, are white. 
This variety is very thrifty in 
growth and will produce a 
fine crop regardless of weath- 
er conditions. Last season 
through most drought-ridden 
areas Medal Refugee proved 
itself impervious to the ab- 
normal growing conditions.
