7. VARIETIES WE RECOMMEND FOR THE HOME GARDEN 
Every year we have to plant a row or two of 
Savoy cabbage on the farm for home use — our 
wives see to that. Anyone who has ever eaten a 
salad made from Chieftain Savoy will never be 
satisfied with any other cabbage. 
653 CHIEFTAIN SAVOY CABBAGE 
Tender, Mild, Delicious 
Savoy cabbage has become the most popular 
medium late variety for our own table use. If 
you have never eaten Savoy cabbage, you will 
enjoy its tenderness, mildness, and pleasant 
appetizing flavor not found in ordinary kinds. 
The heads grow large, firm, round in shape 
and are heavily blistered or “savoyed” 
throughout. Pkt. 25¢; 14 oz. 45¢. 
641 SPECIAL GOLDEN ACRE 
Fine Quality Early Cabbage 
A specially selected strain of Golden Acre 
that consistently has given us earliness and 
uniformity not found in other strains of Gold- 
en Acre. Heads are round, medium-sized, 
solid, tender and delicious. For critical mar- 
ket and home gardeners we recommend our 
Golden Acre for a dependable extra early cab- 
bage. Pkt. 25¢; 14 oz. 45¢. 
210 DEEP HEART FRINGED 
Best Endive 
The leaves are broad and are finely curled — 
fringed at the edges. It is a strong, robust 
plant and produces fine deep hearts when 
fully grown. It is tender and makes most ap- 
petizing and attractive salads. Endive seed 
may be sown as soon as the ground can be 
worked in the spring but the best quality en- 
dive is produced in the fall from seed sown 
about July Ist. Before hard freezing weather 
cut your sweet corn stalks and cover endive. 
With this protection you will have Deep Heart 
Endive until nearly Christmas. Pkt. 15¢; oz. 
30¢ 
The doctor says, “Eat plenty of green vegetables.” 
He might have said, “Eat plenty of Deep Heart 
Endive.” It’s good and good for you. 
601 SENECA ‘'60”’ 
Earliest Best Quality Sweet Corn Hybrid 
Up to now, high quality has been obtained 
only in the later maturing hybrids. After 
years of careful breeding work we have 
brought high eating quality into the parents 
of Seneca 60 Hybrid. Those who have grown 
Seneca 60 will find our New Seneca 60 the 
earliest of all hybrids, very uniform, equally 
productive and much higher in quality than 
our former strain. We feel that we cannot say 
enough about this hybrid that brings good 
eating quality to the early hybrid group that 
to now has had only earliness to offer. Pkt. 
25¢; Yo Ib. 60¢; Ib. $1.00; 2 Ibs. $1.95. 
603 SENECA GOLDEN SWEET CORN 
The Early Golden Cross for the North 
Seneca Golden Hybrid follows Seneca 60 by 
about 10 days, produces a larger ear and is 
about an inch longer than Seneca 60. ‘The 
yellow kernels are tender and the flavor excel- 
lent. Seneca Golden is an early strain of 
Golden Cross and fills that period between the 
early and midseason varieties. Pkt. 20¢; 14 Ib. 
50¢; Ib. 80¢; 2 Ibs. $1.55. 
671 MICHIHLI 
Best Chinese Cabbage 
Not a true cabbage; resembles Cos lettuce 
somewhat. May be served like lettuce, or 
when shredded makes a delicious cole slaw. 
It is also excellent when boiled. Seed should 
be sown between July Ist and August Ist; if 
sown earlier plants may go to seed without 
forming heads. It is early and heads evenly, 
growing about 18 inches tall and 314 to 4 in- 
ches thick. The attractive dark green leaves 
fold up close together making firm long heads 
tapering at the top that are tender, crisp and 
blanched pure white inside. Pkt. 20¢ 1% oz. 
35¢. 
Jerry, small son of our corn breeder, Bob Stro- 
snider, started eating sweet corn about as soon as 
he could walk. Of course, as you can see, he pre- 
fers Seneca Chief but until Seneca Chief is ready 
he will settle for Seneca Golden. 
606 SENECA CHIEF 
The Sweet Corn Everyone Brags About 
You have never tasted top quality sweet 
corn until you have eaten Seneca Chief. The 
kernels are narrow, deep and very tender. 
Seneca Chief is sweet and is one of the best 
flavored varieties that we have ever eaten. Be- 
cause of its high quality kernel it holds in 
good eating condition longer than other varie- 
ties. Practically every stalk produces two good 
sized ears making it a very high yielding va- 
riety. In addition to high quality, Seneca 
Chief has a wide range of adaptability. We 
get enthusiastic reports on its performance 
from Maine to Florida. See page 17. Pkt. 25¢; 
Vy lb. 60¢; lb. 95¢; 2 Ibs. $1.85. 
Most people believe that insurance is a good investment — sure it costs money but insurance protects 
you against loss. 
In many sections of the country last year, a disease called mosaic destroyed the 
cucumber crop. Planting Surecrop Hybrid will insure your crop — Surecrop resists mosaic. 
189 YORKSTATE PICKLING 
Mosaic Resistant Cucumber 
A new mosaic resistant variety developed by 
Dr. Henry Munger of Cornell. It is about two 
days later in maturing than National Pickling 
but is otherwise indistinguishable from it. 
We recommend using Yorkstate Pickling espe- 
cially where mosaic disease has caused fail- 
ures. Pkt. 15¢ oz. 45¢. 
197 CUCUMBER BLEND 
Many gardeners having only a small plot like 
to grow our cucumber blend which contains 
both pickle and slicer types of cucumber. Our 
blend contains early and midseason pickling 
and slicing varieties. Another advantage in 
planting our blend is that the cucumbers seem 
to yield better when varieties are mixed and 
cross pollination takes place. Pkt. 15¢; 02. 35¢. 
188 SURECROP HYBRID CUCUMBER 
1951 All-America Winner 
Mosaic Resistant 
A new true first generation (F,) hybrid slic- 
ing type cucumber that is outstanding in its 
ability to continue to produce good, well- 
shaped fruits over a long period of time. It is 
earlier in setting fruit and coming to the pick- 
ing stage than other hybrids. Fruits are dark 
green, white spined, straight, well-shaped, tap- 
ered slightly at the ends, and average 7 to 9 
inches in length. The vines are vigorous and 
resistant to mosaic. In our trials this year it 
continued to produce a good crop while other 
non-resistant varieties went down completely 
with mosaic. Pkt. 50¢; 14 0z. $2.25; oz. $3.50.
