Early Wonder Beet 
The most popular early bunching beet. To satisfy critical 
growers, who demand an ideal in shape, color and season, 
is quite a difficult matter. Ideals vary considerably, but we 
have pleased a very critical trade with our stock of Early 
Wonder Beet. The shape is a flattened globe; flesh tender, 
sweet, and attractive, deep red with very indistinct zones— 
particularly the light zones so undesirable in many stocks; 
tops are small and slender. It is about 55 days from seeding 
tolmarket.s PKs, 01bC:;-0Z56 20. ; e44-lb,, boc.:. 1b. $1.75.

trade objects to the dark foliage. ;

maintains its attractive color after being cooked or canned.

quality. Tops uniform, slender, erect; roots globe or turnip-

Sweet Corn Collection 
Six outstanding varieties. 
Enough seed in each packet: for a hundred-foot 
row. By planting six varieties about May 15th, 
and one additional planting of the two late varie- 
ties (Golden Cross Bantam and Wilson) on June 1st 
(two weeks later) you will normally have an ideal 
succession of corn ready to pick from late July to 
mid-September. The varieties consist of Spancross, 
Marcross, Carmel Cross, Lincoln, Golden Cross 
Bantam and Wilson, all top-notch varieties for their 
season. Corn planted May 10th to June 10th will 
avoid much of the June Brood of Corn Borer as well. 
Plant the best and enjoy really delicious sweet corn 
fresh from the garden. Golden Cross Bantam can 
usually be planted as late as July 4th in Connecticut.
