ZINNIAS (a) 
March to July. Zinnias are hot weather 
fiowers, bright and colorful in the garden 
and without peer in cut-flower arrange- 
ments. March is early enough to start seeds 
in boxes. When the ground gets warm the 
seeds may be sown where plants are to 
flower. Dig a trench alongside the row of 
plants and let the water run slowly for sev- 
eral hours, watering only once a week or 
every two weeks. Cultivate after each irri- 
gation to conserve moisture. Blooms from 
early summer till hard frost. 2 to 3 feet.

SWEET CORN 
It is desirable to make several successive plantings. For best result plant in 
squares, the rows being 31/2 to 41/2 feet apart. Plantings of single rows should 
be hand pollinated. 
AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN 
“The sweetest corn that ever grew.” That’s 
what many of our customers say. New 
white sweet corn—95 days. 
Pkt. 25c; 3 for 65c; 7 for $1.25 
A number of years ago our good friend 
Lee Bonnewitz of Van Wert, Ohio, sent us 
some seed of Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn for 
trial. We were so impressed with the fine 
quality of this new sweet corn that we ar- 
ranged to list it in our catalog. 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn was grown by 
the Bonnewitz family for many years and 
has only recently been offered to the pub- 
lic. It is supposed to have been originally 
obtained from the Indians. 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn is a vigorous 
grower and a generous producer of good big 
ears and is long lasting, even ears on which 
the husks are beginning to dry can still be 
used for the table. 
We have never eaten a sweet corn with 
the same nutty sweet flavor. 
Each year we receive many letters from 
customers in different parts of the United 
States telling us of the fine qualities of this 
new sweet corn. 
Here are a few: 
Sioux City, Iowa. 
“Enclosed please find check for $2.00 for 
some of your Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn. I’ve 
lived in Iowa for 75 years and can truth- 
fully say that Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn is 
the very best I have ever eaten.” 
Webster Grove, Missouri. 
“The sweet corn (Aunt Mary’s) is the fin- 
est and best I have ever eaten, and if the 
squirrels could write I am sure they would 
give you one of the finest testimonials you 
have ever received on same.” 
Berkeley, Calif. 
“Please send to my friend in Boulder 
City, Nevada, one packet of Aunt Mary’s 
Sweet Corn. I had wonderful success with 
same here in Berkeley last year. The most 
delicious corn we ever tasted.” 
Berkeley, California, is located near the 
coast where the summers are cool, and yet 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn grows well here 
as it does in practically every other section 
of the United States.
