CELERY 
For this climate sow celery in May 
or early June, in drills 4 to 6 inches 
apart and cover about %-inch deen. 
When ready to transplant, thin out to 
2 or 3 inches apart in the row, and 
leave growing until July or August, 
when they should be planted in rows 
18 to 20 inches apart and set 6 inches 
in the row. In planting, press the 
ground around the plants but do not 
let earth get into the heart.

SWEET CORN 
Sweet corn has been a leader 
with us for over 30 years. Our pro- 
duction program includes the main- 
tenance of excellent strains of stand- 
ard sorts and the development of 
new, superior lines. 
Through the use of more recent 
breeding methods for the improve- 
ment of sweet corn varieties, we 
have developed, through nearly 20 
years of controlled pollination, many 
inbred lines of high merit. The cross- 
nig of these produces hybrids of out- 
standing vigor, uniformity and pro- 
ductivity. Disease resistance is also 
a vital factor and we can now furn- 
ish various varieties that are highly 
resistant to Stewart's disease or bac- 
terial wilt. 
The number of days indicated for 
each variety represents average 
trial row readings for many years at 
our Eastern breeding station, Milford, 
Conn, 
In some sections maturity dates 
will naturally be different. 
Varieties listed in larger letters 
are, in our judgment, the better and 
more important. 
Varieties marked (y) have yellow 
kernals; those marked (w) have 
white.
