Vegetable Seed CNovelties for 1044 
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. As 
was to be expected many errors 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 com- 
mercially grown vegetables has been sacrificed in the interest of tougher shipping qualities.

A SUCCESSION OF SWEET CORN 
This marvelous collection has met with spontaneous ap- 
proval. The results obtained since its introduction are 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 au- 
thority 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 constant 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 Ist, or the 
two additional varieties listed below. 
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

successive plantings of Golden Cross Bantam for later Corn. This year we advocate the 
planting of the two additional varieties.

Squash, Butternut 
A new Squash that has met with instantaneous favor be- 
cause of its splendid growing qualities, the meatiness of the 
fruits and the delicious flavor obtained either by baking or boil- 
ing. As a baked Squash it is superior to Acorn and we dare 
say the famous Hubbard types. There is more meat and less 
waste on Butternut Squash than any other variety we know.
