i A Selection of Some New 
and 
Recent Introductions of 
Vegetables That Should 
Be Better Known 


Tomato, Tiny Tim 
_ One of the most interesting novelties that we have ever 
introduced. The small fruits are borne on dwarf plants 
that can be grown anywhere. They mature exceedingly 
early, 68 days, and can be grown as lovely pot plants. 
The fruits are very sweet, and are excellent for garnish- 
ing. Liberal size pkt., 50c; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
Hill or Midget Cucumber 
An unusual and unique new introduction developed at 
the University of Minnesota. Not to be confused with 
Mincu. This variety definitely does not vine; forming a 
bush the same as dwarf Snap Beans. The vines do not 
exceed 10 inches in length and the fruit matures in 60 
days from time of seeding. Average size of fruit 5 inches 
in length by 21/4 inches in width. Ideal for table use and 
pickling. Pkt., 35c; 3 pkts., $1.00. 
Purple Cross Corn

Something Entirely New! 
A SUCCESSION OF SWEET CORN 
This marvelous collection has met with spontaneous 
approval. 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 
authority on Hybrid Sweet Corn in the United States, we 
are able to offer a collection of five varieties of Hybrid 
Sweet Corn which will bear in constant succession for a 
period exceeding four weeks with no two varieties ripening 
together. In order to continue the season after the collection 
has ripened we advise successive pin Weds 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 fla- 
vor. For this reason we can offer this collection with abso- 
lute assurance in the fact that these varieties can be classi- 
fied as wilt-resistant—heavy-bearing—excellent flavor.
