CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS 
First and most important, plant as early in the spring as the conditions will permit. 
Seeds should be sown at the rate of 1 oz. to 25 feet. Make a trench about 3 or 4 inches deep, 
planting seeds in the bottom about 2 inches deep, pressing the soil firmly. After the plants 
are well up, thin to 4 or 5 inches apart and draw the soil around them until the trench 
is filled above the level. This gives a depth to the roots, preserving the moisture. Keep 
the ground well worked and water if needed, an occasional soaking down being better 
than a daily sprinkling. Keep the flowers cut close. 
Subject to crop, we again offer this grandest and sweetest of all Sweetcorn on the market.

Aunt Marys Sweet Cormm 
Seed is scarce. ORDER EARLY! There is never enough to fill late orders. 
- Originated in Ohio, it is supposed to have been given to some person named “Aunt 
Mary” by the Indians, and handed down through the family for many years and was 
again put on the market some three years ago by a Mr. Bonnewitz. It is taking the 
- country by storm and not enough praise can be given it. 
. Never was sweet corn that tasted as sweet. It will stay in good condition for table 
use for two or three weeks. It stays in milk so long that natural ripening is impossible; 
ears that were ready for table use in October were still in milk when hard frosts killed 
the plants in November. 
BY ALL MEANS GIVE THIS SWEET CORN A TRIAL THIS YEAR AND YOU 
WILL COME BACK FOR MORE NEXT YEAR. Make your first planting during May— 
two weeks apart; make another one the second week in June, another the last week in 
June, and the last planting the first week in July, and this will furnish you sweet green 
ears in early October. 
We have had reports from customers having the ears for table use for Thanksgiving. 
They had made late plantings of seed in June and July.

Plainview, Nebraska, January 14, 1944

Sweet Corn.” We had it very dry here but it didn’t seem to hurt it and for two full 
months we had corn from one planting ’till frost killed it. I tell everyone about ite

PERENNIAL PLANTS 
We have decided that, owing to adverse conditions caused by the war, we will 
discontinue the retailing of all perennial plants ,including seedlings of all kind, until 
conditions, and particularly labor conditions, become normal once more. Only time can 
tell when ‘that will be. 
_ This will not affect our Iris and bulb business, nor of course, our seed business. We 
shall continue to grow and sell these as heretofore and will devote our time and best 
efforts to the betterment of our Delphiniums and Iris, and serve you with the very 
best and highest grade of flower seeds and bulbs as heretofore. We are continually 
expanding our Iris collection and have added this season many of the finest novelties 
as you will notice by looking over our list. ;
