“Golden Cross Bantam sweet corn from your seed, grown in my 
garden this year for the first time was very fine. To top of tassel 
it was seven feet tall — size and yield of ears excellent and much 
better than that grown from another strain in the same garden and 
adjacent to it. The other strain grew a foot or more shorter.”

* WINDSOR ‘‘A’’: 60 days. Originated at the Con- 
necticut Experiment Station. Windsor “A” is one 
of the best of our large early sweet peppers. ‘The 
peppers are thick-walled, sweet and tender. The 
only criticisms we have are their long shape and the 
fact that the peppers are a little lighter green than 
the public has been used to. Pkt. 15 cts.; %4 oz. 25

early strain of California Wonder developed for 
sections where the old variety has proven to be too 
late. Plants are somewhat more dwarf than Cali-

CALIFORNIA WONDER: 75 days. This is the 
thickest meated pepper that we know of. Fruits are 
large, 44% inches long by 4 inches thick. Very at- 
tractive, smooth, deep green, sweet and mild. Some 
growers feel that California Wonder is too late for 
the northeast. Varies in productiveness in different 
soils. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 25 cts.; % oz. 40 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts.; % lb. $2.40; lb. $8.00.

peppers.” The fruit is 3 inches long and | inch 
through. Ripens early and is very prolific. Pkt. 
15 cts.; % oz. 25 cts.; % oz. 40 cts.; oz. 70 cts.; 
1% |b. $2.10. 
WALTHAM BEAUTY: 57 days. A medium early, 
large, thick meated sweet pepper originated at the 
Massachusetts field station at Waltham. Grows in 
an upright position which makes them rather difficult 
to pick and under some conditions Waltham Beauty 
seems to be arather shy bearer. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz.

KING OF THE NORTH: 60 days. A very large and 
prolific sweet pepper of the World Beater type but 
earlier. The only fault that we have with King Of 
The North is that the flesh is rather thin. Either 
Windsor “‘A’’ or Waltham Beauty are better in this 
respect. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 25 cts.; % oz. 40 cts.; 
oz. 70 cts.; % Ib. $2.10; 1b. $7.00.
