NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 5

Award of Merit 1938 All America Selections 
Medium large firm heads, very uniform, crisp, well 
savoyed, dark olive green. Quality excellent, both texture 
and flavor. Sure heading, about one week earlier than 
Drumhead Savoy. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 55¢.; %4-lb., $1.90; Ib.,

Early Wonder Beet 
The most popular early bunching beet. To satisfy critical 
growers, who demand an ideal in shape, color and season, 
is quite a difficult matter. Ideals vary considerably, but we 
have pleased a very critical trade with our stock of Early 
Wonder Beet. The shape is a flattened globe; flesh tender, 
sweet, and attractive, deep red with very indistinct zones— 
particularly the light zones so undesirable in many stocks; 
tops are small and slender. In season it is about 55 days 
from seeding to market stage. Price per pkt., 10c.; o2z., 
25eis -lb.-75¢.3 Ib., $2.25. 

Early Wonder Beet 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
A distinctly superior stock of this extensively 
used variety. The color is dark blood-red, some- 
what brighter than our former stock. This color 
is without trace of purple or brown and without 
the common fault of large light zones. It also 
maintains its attractive color after being cooked 
or canned. “Detroit” has long been recognized as a 
beet of very high table quality. Tops are uniform, 
slender, erect; roots globe or turnip-shaped, with 
small tap root. About 65 days from seeding to 
market stage. Price per pkt., 10c.; 0z., 25c.; %4-Ib., 
75c.; lb., $2.25. 
Cucumber Cubit 
All America Bronze Medal 1944 
This attractive, dark green, cylindrical cucum- 
ber, with rounded seeds, makes an ideal slicing and 
shipping sort. The firm, white flesh and handsome 
appearance are retained for a long time after 
picking. It is comparable to A & C in size and color 
but seems to be more prolific. Suitable for home, 
market or shipping. Seed limited. Per -pkt., 15c.; 
oz., 45¢e.; %4-lb., $1.35. Detroit Dark Red Beet 
FS.P. Co. 

Sweet Corn Collection 
Six outstanding varieties. 
Enough seed in each packet for a hundred-foot row. By planting six varieties about May 15th, 
and one additional planting of the two late varieties (Golden Cross Bantam and Wilson) on June 1st 
(two weeks later) you will normally have an ideal succession of corn ready to pick from late July to 
mid-September. The varieties consist of Spancross, Marcross, Carmel Cross, Lincoln, Golden Cross 
Bantam and Wilson, all top-notch varieties for their season. Corn planted May 10th to June 10th 
will probably avoid much of the June Brood of Corn Borer as well. Plant the best and enjoy the 
best. Per pkt., 15c.; six for 85c.
