Queen of the Prairie, or Pride of the North. This is an early Yellow Dent, medium 
size, uniform ears, cob small; a ‘winner in many shelling contests ...............++eee05 
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 withvears inudough stageue sci ecic cre se ceterer altel nen onetses) -tetetone eet te terse 
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 both 
ensilage and ears in good season 
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 it yielded 81% bushels of grain per acre; in Rhode Island, 
21 tons ensilage per acre, which was higher than Eureka. In the West Virginia and Penn- 
sylvania experimental trials, it yielded 17%4 tons per acre—the highest yield of any ensilage 
corn. The leaves and stalks stay green long after the ears are mature .................. 
U. S. No. 13 Hybrid. A Yellow Dent of remarkable vigor. Very attractive dark green 
leafy plants that have the ability to stand erect, which is an important factor in the cost 
of harvesting. U. S. No. 13 is adaptable to Connecticut except in the higher section of 
Litchfield County. Corn planted May 15th to June Ist, the earlier the better, not only 
reaches the ideal medium soft dough stage for the silo, but normally has time to mature 
ears for shell corn. The food value per acre is high, and preferable to fifteen per cent or 
more tonnage of corn reaching only the earlymulk stage’. (00)... enna c ee ae eee 30c. 
U. S. No. 44 Hybrid. It is recommended that U. S. No. 13, which is more widely adap- 
table, be used in place of U. S. No. 44. Practically identical in appearance. 
Iowa Hybrid 939. A Yellow Dent, primarily for shell corn, requires approximately ten 
or twelve days less to mature than does U. S. No. 13, or about the same as Lancaster Sure

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.

runs to seed. One ounce of seed will sow a bed 
of sixteen square feet.

Upland. Resembles the water cress in flavor; 
same culture as spinach; a perennial plant. Per

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. Out 1944. 

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.
