All-America Bronze Medal Winner, 1947. Illustrated on

doubt, achieve greater popularity than any other garden 
Lettuce of recent introduction. Aside from its succulence 
and extreme heat resistance, making it an ideal hot 
weather Lettuce, the growing plants present a beautiful 
picture in the garden. Pkt., 35c; 3 pkts., $1.00. 
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. Seed can be sown directly into the open ground.

Something Entirely New! 
SUCCESSION OF SWEET GORN 
This marvelous collection has met with spontaneous 
approval. The results obtained since its introduction are a 
source of great satisfaction. Mdny years ago we introduced 
our famous Long Season Péa 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 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 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.

Method of Handling

entire collection together. Every two weeks thereafter plant an additional quantity of

Pepper, Merrimack Wonder 
An exclusive introduction developed by the University of New 
Hampshire. Selected for its early maturity and heavy production, 
this Pepper, since its introduction, has been received with much 
acclaim. At Cornell University Trials a singe lot produced twice 
as many Peppers as any other sample: in the trial in 1945. Ideal 
for northern climates. We consider this a finer Pepper than our 
excellent Ozark Giant. Pkt., 50c; 5 pkts., $2.25.

An early maturing selection of New Hampshire University for 
short season climates. Yankee Queen could be called the big

in color and firm texture. It is lightly seeded and all flesh.
