Improved Pekin Celery Cabbage

CAULIFLOWER

Super Snowball Cauliflower

Culture Grows well in cool weather, and in general should be grown like cabbage. For early crop, sow in hotbed in January or February, and transplant when danger of freezing is past. For late crop, sow in May or June and grow like late cabbage. Set the plants about 18 inches apart in rows 2 to 2p2 feet apart. An ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants; J4 lb. is enough for an acre. Treat soil after plants are up with solution of 8 oz. bichloride ol mercury (a deadly poison) in 50 gallons of water, to control root-rot or yellows.

SUPER SNOWBALL The finest, earliest, most profitable strain. With good soil and proper care, Super Snowball can be harvested and out of the way before ordinary varieties are ready to cut.

CELERY

Culture Celery seed is very slow to germinate. Plant seed in the hotbed or very early in open ground. When three inches high, transplant four inches apart in finely pulverized rich soil. In June or July transplant 6 or 8 inches apart in rows three feet apart Celery requires a great deal of water from the time the seed is sown until it is pulled. To blanch, drawn earth around the plants, or boards or paper may be used. An ounce will pro¬ duce about 5000 plants; a quarter pound will suffice for an acre.

YELLOW VARIETIES

HYBRID SWEET CORN

Golden Cross Bantam (2 plants) in our trials at Milford

SENCROSS This topcross produces 12-16 rowed slightly tapering to tapering ears 7-10 in. long; is 2-3 days later than Tendergold and in the same season as Whipples. This hybrid produces about 40% more than Tendergold or Early Yellow Sensation and as much or more than Whipples. It is easily superior to Whipples in uniformity, color and resistance to bacterial wilt. Lb. 45c ; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

EARLY BANCROSS This topcrossed Bantam is produced from an especially selected, large eared strain of 8 rowed Golden Bantam. It produces 8-14 rowed, cylindrical ears of good quality and color, and matures 3-4 days earlier than other available stocks of topcrossed Bantcm. Has a high resistance to bacterial wilt. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

TENDERGOLD Ears are cylindrical to slightly tapering from 7-8 in. long. It has 10 to 14 rows of kernels of the Golden Ban¬ tam type and of highest quality. It yields more than either Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine and matures at about the same time as Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to Stewart’s disease, shows great uniformity of ears, and pro¬ duces a large percentage of two-eared stalks. Lb. 40c ; 1 2j4 lb. $3.50; 50 lb. $12.50.

GEMCROSS 39 A topcross with Market Gem as one parent. Matures in season whh Marcross 39, tends to produce more ears per stalk but has slightly smaller ears. Somewhat wilt- resistant. Lb. 25c; 1 Zl/2 lb $3.25; lb. $12.50.

MARCROSS 6 x 13 This single cross is one of the most popular early hybrids at the present time. It produces cylin¬ drical, chunky, heavy husked ears 6lA to 7 inches long with 12-14 rows of medium yellow kernels. The stalks are 5 to 5 C feet tall in Connecticut, and 4 to 4C feet tall in New Jersey. It matures in the same season as Golden Early Market, which is about 72 days at Milford. Originally developed by Drs. Jones and Singleton of the Connecticut Agr. Experi¬ ment Station to fill the need for an early, wilt-resistant hybrid, it has increased in use among market gardeners since its introduc' ion. Lb. 45c; 1 1/2 lb. $4 25; 50 lb. $15.00.

Culture Hybrid sweet corns are grown the same as ordinary open pollinated corns, excepting that less seed is used per acre. Most growers find 8 lb. enough per acre. We caution our customers against trying to save their own seed from hybrids, as the seed must be produced by crossing each year. Results will not be satisfactory unless this is done. A bushel weighs 50 lb., a peck \2l/2 lb.

YELLOW HYBRIDS

WOODRUFF'S EARLIGOLD OUR NEWEST The

earliest hybrid, developed by us for market gard¬ eners who have been looking for a hybrid both early and large eared. The 1939 trials at River- head, Long Island, showed one hybrid earlier than Earligold, but Earligold yielded more ears which were nearly twice as large. Long Island users were very enthusiastic about it, as were growers in other • sections. Burlington Co. and Monmouth Co., New Jersey, trials in 1939 show¬ ed as good a yield as Marcross 6 x 13, with a heavier stalk, while a commercial trial in upper New York showed Earligold to have the largest ear of about 20 early hybrids included in that test. In our own trials at Milford it matured in 72 days, and on Long Island in 64 days. The ears are 6% to 7 inches long, slightly tapering and very uniform, well filled with 12 to 16 rows of kernels. The plants are sturdy, 5 to 5% feet tall, with few suckers. Somewhat resistant to wilt. ORDER EARLY, as our supplv is limited. Lb. 55c; 12% lb. $5.00; 50 lb. $18.00. '

WH1PCROSS 39-2 Produces c- lindrical ears 7 to 9 inches long, with 8 to 14 rows. This hybrid has proven especially well adapted to use in such climates as Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey, and is distinctly superior to the Whipples Yellow from which it was developed. It is practically im¬ mune to wilt and makes a fine corn for market. Lb. 45c ; 12*4 lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15 00.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM A cross of two in¬ bred Bantams developed at the Purdue Experi¬ ment Station, it is midseason hybrid, typically 4 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam. Stalks average 6 % to 7 ft. in height and are sturdy and straight and under favorable conditions two ears are usually produced on each stalk. The ears are about 8 in. long and have 10 to 14 rows of kernels. This hybrid is noted especially for resistance to Stewart’s disease and for the re¬ markable uniformity of its ears. Our own trials for the past 5 years have failed to bring to light a better hybrid than this. It has been greatly improved since it was introduced several years ago, and will no doubt hold the lead for years i to come. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

PURGOLD A drought-tolerant hybrid resembling Golden Cross Bantam, ears uniformly 12-14 rowed, 7-8 inches long and slightly larger than those of Golden Cross Bantam, and maturing in the same season. The ears are cylindrical and small cobbed. Under drought conditions it has done unusually well. Lb. 40c; 12^4 lb. $3.50; 50 lb. $12.50.

BANTAM EVERGREEN HYBRID A late yellow hybrid matur¬ ing at Milford in about 95 days. The ears have 16 rows, taper slightly, with medium to dark yellow kernels. Stalks grqw 7-8 feet tall. More wind-resistant and better yielding than Bantam Evergreen. Lb. 45c; 1 2/2 lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

WHITE HYBRIDS

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN HYBRID Although the ear resembles Country Gentleman in general, this hybrid will be found greatly superior to the old variety, especially as to uniformity of size and maturity. Has fine deep kernels, a heavier root system and yields heavily. Sold out.

EVERGREEN HYBRID 3x33 An excellent hybrid of the Stowells Evergreen type, noted for its great uniformity, depth of kernel and increased yield. 1 he ears are 14 to 18 rowed, about 8 inches long. 1 he stalk is 7% to 9 feet tall. An excellent suc¬ cessor to the o d Stowells variety. Lb. 45c; 12 % lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

EVERGREEN HYBRID "A" A single cross of two Early Evergreen inbreds, which gives a large, cylindrical 14-18 rowed ear in Early Evergreen season. The ears are about 7% inches long, and the stalks suckerless and 7 to 8 feet tall. This hybrid will outyield Early Evergreen under al¬ most any conditions, and has the additional ad¬ vantage of greatly increased uniformity of ma¬ turity and type, making it more advantageous to the grower satisfying a white corn market. Lb. 45c; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

NARROW GRAIN HYBRID While its maturity and characteristics are almost identical with Narrow Grain Evergreen variety, this hybrid is less susceptible to lodging and disease. Through the elimination of barren and nubbin bearing stalks, this topeross easily produces 30% more corn than the Narrow Grain Evergreen. The ears are 18-26 rowed, about 7% inches long, cylindrical and well filled at the tips. Lb. 45c ; 12% lb. $4.25; 50 lb. $15.00.

SWEET CORN

Early Yellow Sensation

Culture Corn can be grown on almost any soil provided it is reasonably fertile and deeply worked. Sweet corn should not be planted until the danger of heavy frost is past, and the main crop or late sorts should not be planted until the ground is quite warm, sweet corn being more sensitive to cold than field corn. If planted in hills, for early varieties the hills should be three feet apart each way, for later varieties 2j4 to 4 feet apart each way, drop¬ ping four to six kernels in each hill. When six inches high, thin to three or four plants in a hill. Hoe frequently and give frequent but shallow cultivation until the tassels ap¬ pear. One half pound for 100 feet; 15 lbs., per acre. If planted in rows, have the rows three to four feet apart, dropping the seed a foot to a foot and a half apart.

A bushel of sweet corn weighs 50 pounds. Field corn is listed elsewhere.

MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE

Hale's Best No. 36

Culture A rich, sandy loam is preferable for muskmelons. Sow 10 or 12 seeds in a hill, the hills six to eight feet apart each way depending on the vigor of the variety. Cover the seeds with about an inch of soil well firmed down. Thin the plants when they begin to crowd, leaving four of the best plants in each hill. Frequent but shallow cultivation until the runners interfere is necessary. Beetles may be kept off by dusting with air-slaked lime, being careful not to use so much as to injure the vines.

Q ecial {Jnodaiicn lei

If you are at all interested in Tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs, you will want to see our display of blooms on the Boston Post Road in Mil¬ ford this spring.

We have set out approximately 100,000 .bulbs, mostly Tulips. Included in the array are all of the usual varieties of Darwins, Breeders, Cottage, Tri¬ umph and other classifications, and in addition some of the more rare and beautiful varieties not ordinarily seen.

Besides the Tulips, we have included such beau¬ tiful flowers as Hyacinths, Daffodils, Narcissus, Crocuses, Chionodoxa, Muscari, Snowdrops, Scilla and Tulipa species.

We believe that this will make a display worth coming a long way to see. Each variety will be marked with its name, and a representative will be on hand to answer questions during business hours.

This display will be on our Trial Grounds, on the Boston Post Road (Route U.S. 1), which is the main road between New York and Boston. It is located about 8 miles west of New Haven and about the same distance east of Bridgeport, on the south side of the highway. About May 15th to 20th will be the time.

These natural features, combined with our carefully bred and selected seed stocks, all go together to produce the finest seed Peas available anywhere.

After harvesting, our Peas are all carefully cleaned and then hand-picked to eliminate any discolored or broken seeds. Pea seed can be grown cheaper but not better.

FOLIAGE TURNIP -GREENS

The following varieties are grown for their tops rather than for their roots.

IAPANESE FOLIAGE or SHOGOIN Valuable both for its tops and roots.

CORNELL PASTURE MIXTURES

The following mixtures are the formulae suggested for 1940 by Cornell University, and are mixed by us from lots of seed which have been tested and appproved by that university, under Registration No. 3. While designed for New York conditions, there is no reason why they should not be excellent in any section where conditions are similar. If you are about to establish a permanent pasture, these two mix¬ tures are fine. It is suggested that your soil be analyzed by your state experiment station, and that it be limed or fertilized according to its recommendations for best results.

CORNELL PASTURE MIXTURE The seed bed

should be prepared by plowing and harrowing, and the seed evenly distributed at the rate of 25 lb. ( 28l/2 qt.) per acre. Cover the seed not over a quarter inch deep. For best results sow as early as possible in April. Seeding may be done in May, but summer and fall seedings are not recommended. Mow the weeds, if necessary, and a light grazing may be allowed in August and September. The mixture contains Kentucky Blue Grass, Canada Blue Grass, Rough Stalked Meadow Grass, Timothy, Perennial Rye Grass,

Write us for price

Yellow Trefoil and Wild White Clover.

CORNELL HAY— PASTURE MIXTURE Seed in the early spring. Hay may be cut and the after- math grazed. If hay is not needed, it may be grazed or if it is not needed as pasture it may be used for hay for a year or two and then ex¬ clusively for pasture. The mixture contains Timothy, Kentucky Blue Grass, Alfalfa, Medium Red Clover, Alsike Clover, Yellow Trefoil and Ladino Clover. It should be seeded at the rate of 20 lb. ( \7y2 qt.) per acre.

on these mixtures.

QUANTITIES AND WEIGHTS OF FIELD SEEDS

TURF-MAKER is a ‘“different” formula — not a secret one, for the complete analysis appears on every package. Made up primarily of Kentucky Blue Grass and Colonial Bent with Fancy Red Top and Poa trivialis as “nurses.” It is so blended that it will produce lasting, fine-textured turf east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason-Dixon line. The mixture is 90% perennial and over 97% pure seed. Lb. 65c; 3 lb. $1.90; 5 lb.

$3.00; 10 lb. $5.75; 25 lb. $13.75; 50 lb.

$26.00; 100 lb. $50.00.

TRU-SHADE is the best Shady Mixture that we can make. Fine-textured and deep-rooting, it blends well with Turf- Maker so that uniform turf extends well under quite dense shade. 80% of the contents of Tru- shade is truly adapted to growth in the shade and includes Chewings Fescue, Poa triviails and Ken¬ tucky Blue Grass with the balance recleaned Red Top. Like Turf-Maker, this blend is over 97% pure seed. Lb. 75c; 3 lb. $2.15; 5 lb. $3.50; 10 lb. $6.85; 25 lb. $16.25; 50 lb. $31.00; 100 lb. $60.00.

The phenomenal re¬ sults obtained prompt¬ ed us to offer it to those who cannot or do not care to improve their soil to grow “regu¬ lar” mixtures.

No. 170 is slow to mature and

best results are obtained when seeding is accomplished in early September. If spring seeding is necessary, we re¬ commend that it be sown early. Lb. $1.00; 3 lb. $2.60; 5 lb. $4.85; 10 lb. $8.25; 25 lb. $20.00; 50 lb. $38.00; 100 lb. $75.00.

LAMOTTE SOIL TESKIT

Some crops will not thrive in an acid soil, others prefer slight or even great acidity. The LaMotte Soil Teskit provides a method of determining with accuracy the degree of acidity of the soil, yet the cost of the outfit is very low. The cost per test is trifling, yet the results are scientific. The set includes a por¬ celain plate on which to make the tests, a liberal can of liquid for testing, and the LaMotte Soil Handbook.

This handbook is one of the most complete and valuable books ever compiled, as it contains a mass of information gathered from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the many state experiment station. It contains tables showing the soil pref¬ erences of all the grasses, vegetables and flowers. Furthermore, it tells you just how much lime will be required to correct your soil to any desired “sweetness.” This information is given not ; only for large acreages, but also for small gardens. It' takes two minutes to test a sample of soil accurately at a cost of almost nothing. The price per Teskit, $2.00 postpaid.

RED COPPER OXIDE

Recommended for the prevention of damping- off of plants of many vegetables as well as some flowers. It is a fine powder red in color, to be mixed with the seed before sowing. The red copper oxide kills the fungi which cause damping-off and rotting of seeds before sprouting. Your state ex¬ periment station can give you information if you wish to know their experiences with it. The cost of treating seed is from % to lc per pound of seed. Ask your Experiment Station for recommendations on its use, or ask us for free circular. For Spinach use 2-5 oz. i2 teaspoonfuls) for a pound, 3 oz. for 10 lb., or 2y2 lb. for 100 lb. of seed.

Steel Setter

Tamper

Garden Setter

HotKaps have been used to protect plants from frost, excess rain, wind and cold, and from the ravages of birds and insects HotKaps maintain a perfect mulch around each plant, as well as protection from outside damage. Growth is materially forced, resulting in stronger plants maturing from two to three weeks earlier. That means premium prices and greater profits. They are patented waxed paper cones, placed over each seed or plant as it is set out. Each HotKap is a small hothouse. It is easily put in place — one man can set more than 3,000 a day. HotKaps come in rolls of 1,000 for ordinary use, and in special trial or garden packages. For rapid placing, use the steel HotKap setter.
