Tomato, Tiny Tim 
One of the most interesting novelties that we have ever intro- 
duced. 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 garnishing. Seed can be sown directly into the 
open ground. Liberal size pkt., 50c; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
Lettuce, Bronze Beauty 
All-America Bronze Medal Winner, 1947. This succulent nov- 
elty will, without doubt, achieve greater popularity than any 
other garden Lettuce of recent iintroduction. 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. 
‘Slobolt Lettuce 
A development of the United States Department of Agriculture 
Experiment Station at Beltsville, Maryland. Slobolt Lettuce is 
remarkable in that it will continue to bear good palatable leaf 
Lettuce during the entire summer season without ever bolting to 
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 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.

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. = = | 2 'B. each of the above 5 varieties (sufficient for family of four) ........... 
New Watermelon, Yankee Queen 
An early maturing selection of New Hampshire University for 
short season climates. Yankee Queen could be called the big 
brother of our Midget Watermelon, averaging 9 inches in length 
and 8 inches in width. The flesh is tenderly flavored, soft pink 
Golden Cross Bantam. Late midseason. of Earworm.” 
Method of Handling 
At the time when you usually sow your early Sweet Corn, arrange to plant the 
_ entire collection together. Every two weeks thereafter plant an additional quantity of 
Golden Cross Bantam until the latest possible date.
