U. S. No. 13 Hybrid. A Yellow Dent of remarkable vigor. Very attractive dark green 
leafy plants that have the ability to stand erect, which is an important factor in the cost of 
harvesting. U.S. No. 13 is adaptable to Connecticut except in the higher section of Litch- 
field County. Corn planted May 15th to June Ist, the earlier the better, not only reaches the 
ideal medium soft dough stage for the silo, but normally has time to mature ears for shell 
corn. The food value per acre is high, and preferable to more tonnage of corn reaching only 
the early milk stage

Cress—Water 
Wasser Kresse—Crescione Acquatico 
This is a well-known, hardy, perennial aquatic 
plant, growing abundantly along the margins of 
running streams, ditches and ponds. Where it does 
not grow naturally it is easily introduced by plant- 
ing, and it increases, both by spreading of the roots, 
and by seeding.

Improved Early Fortune Cucumber 
Cucumbers 
Gurken—Pepino—Cetriolo 
Make rich hills of well-rotted manure, two feet in 
diameter, and plant a dozen or more seeds, covering 
half an inch deep. When all danger from insects is 
over, pull all but three or four of the strongest 
plants. The middle of June is early enough to plant 
for pickling. Make the hills about six feet apart. For 
early cucumbers the hot-bed is necessary.
