Lettuce, Bronze Beauty

its delicious flavor and extreme heat resistance, making it an 
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.
