Gurney’s strains of peas are all Northern-grown and care- 
fully selected for disease resistancy, for type and for vigor. 
Don’t take chances with anything but the best. 
Plant your smooth varieties of peas just as early as you can 
get in the ground in the spring. The wrinkled varieties should 
be planted about a week later. All varieties of peas appre- 
ciate support, even the dwarfs would like some brush or a 
trellis to grow on. Keep the pods up off the ground. They 
will give you a bigger yield, too.

know you will never be 
without them again.

Dear Sirs: 
I am sending a snapshot of vegetables 
I had in my garden. The cabbage in the 
picture is the disease resistant and 
weighed 14 pounds. We need seeds that 
w here for there are 7 children in the 
mily and they are all good eaters. We 
know that Gurney’s seed will always give and the ears are a good criterion of the 
best results. We have a big garden every size of stalks you rom in ee snapshot.

Gentlemen: Gurney’s Inc., 
This is the north view of our farm- Yankton, S. Dak. 
home, northwest of Butte, Nebr. We Gentlemen: 
are mighty proud of the Spirea and 
other flowering shrubs from Gur- 
_ney’s. We always know we can de- 
pend’ on Gurney’s for our seeds, 
plants, bulbs, and nursery stock of all 
kinds. 
The Spirea was simply loaded with 
masses of bloom when the picture 
was taken. 
Mr. & Mrs. C. M: Freeman, 
Butte, Nebr. 
I read your planting magazine with 
a great deal of interest and would like 
to see more of them. This picture 
shows my husband standing by some 
Chinese Elm trees we ordered from 
Gurney’s. The trees were the 18-24 
in. size and were planted May 5, 1941. 
The picture was taken just a year and 
3 months later. We like your seeds 
too.

About Sweet Corn 
Some of people’s fondest memories have to do with sweet corn—espe- 
cially roasting ears. You should have roasting ears early, mid season 
and late. You never can get too many. 
This year, plant sweet corn and plenty of it. Remember Gurney’s 
Special Strains are carefully selected for vigor and vitality. You can 
depend on them. They have all been carefully tested. You’d be sur- 
prised at the number of roasting ears that you can grow in a small sized 
town garden. Sweet corn doesn’t grow as vigorous as field corn, so you 
can space the hills as close as 15 inches apart if you work them by hand 
and get an abundant crop. Sweet corn is a “four way” crop. You can 
use it fresh, canned, frozen or dried. The main thing is to plant lots 
of it so that you will have plenty for yourself and some extras for the 
neighbors. Make several plantings about one week apart so you’ll have 
corn coming on all season long. 
One pound plants 150 hills, 8 to 10 pounds plants an acre.
