Heirloom Beans Our Specialty
Billy Hepler seed Company
Durham, New Hampshire
UR FOURTH birthday! Tur Bitty Herter Seep Company has
more specialties; varieties especially suited to the short cool sum-
mers of the North. Also for your convenience a list of standard
varieties, all of which have been carefully tested in both Durham and
West Stewartson, New Hampshire. They are chosen for both home
garden and commercial use with special reference to quality. The spe-
cialties are both interesting and useful. The 4-H gardens of Coos and
Cheshire Counties, New Hampshire had bushels of tomatoes when Early
Chatham was planted. The Littleton Horticulture and the Early Queen
Iunc Pearson, vegetable grower from Quincy,
New Hampshire is proud of his
Early Chatham Tomatoes
beans are favorites with home gardeners for early maturity, high yield,
and baking quality.
Almost all of our seed is New Hampshire grown. Some of the seed is
still scarce. We are glad to share what little we do have.
THE Bitty Herter Seep Company is the first seed company to offer
you the following varieties of outstanding merit. The early Dixville,
the high vitamin New Hampshire 50 and Maine’s F.N.C. Tomatoes;
Littleton Horticulture Bean; Carnival Popcorn; Beggs Winter Keeper
Watermelon; and the Baby Blue Squash.
Other varieties of merit offered for the first time by Billy Hepler:
Pennheart Tomato; Seneca Horticulture Bean; Freezonian Pea; Deli-
cata Squash; Pennlake Lettuce; three varieties of Field Corn; Great Bay
Strawberry; and the Durham Raspberry.

TOMATO
All of our tomato varieties except Marglobe, N. H. 50, and F. N. C.
are determinate. They should not be started before April 20. Setting
out plants with fruit or flowers delays maturity. They will grow best
in a rich, well-manured soil with plenty of super phosphate in a warm
location.
DIXVILLE—Dr. Yeager has done it again. This new tomato is larger
than Early Chatham, as early as Window Box, bright red in color. In
the UNH Horticulture Farm tests many plants yielded 100 or more
tomatoes which started ripening in late July. Seed is scarce this year.
Pkt. 25 cts.; 4 oz. $1.30; Y% oz. $2.50; 1 oz. $4.90.
TINY TIM—Introduced by the Horticulture Dept., UNH. This is a
dwarf tomato with small fruit. It may be started in August, trans-
planted to a five inch pot filled with rich composted soil. When
grown in a sunny window, it will ripen fruit by Christmas. Planted
outdoors it will bear hundreds of small, high quality tomatoes. Pkt.
25 cts.; 44 oz. $1.25; Ye oz. $2.40; 1 oz. $4.65
HIGH C—An introduction of the Horticulture Dept., UNH. This is
a very prolific variety. The fruit is red in color, of medium size and
contains 3-4 times as much vitamin C as ordinary tomatoes. It is
quite mild in flavor. Pkt. 15 cts.; 4% oz. 55 cts.; 1 oz. $1.05; 14 lb. $3.15.
NEW HAMPSHIRE 50—A UNH introduction. The latest develop-
ment in high vitamin tomatoes. The fruit is round in shape, deep
red in color and contains at least 50% more vitamin C than High
C and therefore has more food value. In fact, one 5 ounce tomato
will carry your vitamin C requirements for a day. The plant is not
a determinate and therefore larger than the rest of our varieties. Al-
low for more room than for Early Chatham or New Hampshire Vic-
tor. It ripens with New Hampshire Victor. Pkt. 25 -cts.; 14 oz.
$1.60; 44 oz. $3.00 1 oz. $5.50

variety, smooth, red in color, weighing 3-4 ounces. This variety is

selected for large size, high vield, and early maturity. Pkt. 15 cts.;

FIELD CORN
We are cataloging two varieties of field corn for ears and one for silage.
When planted by June 1 these varieties have always matured ears for
us that were superior to what grand dad grew in Pennsylvania.
KINGSCROST FLINT—DENT HYBRID KF-1—A Flint-Dent
type that will ripen in about 85 days. Recommended
for central and northern New Hampshire.
KINGSCROST KE-3—A dent hybrid. This variety ripens
in about 90 days, and is my choice. A beautiful 15
rowed dent corn.
KINGSCROST KS—A silage corn. This variety is much
larger than the other two and takes 105 days to ma-
ture. It will make a lot more ears for you than the
old fashioned Sweepstakes variety.

We have had so many inquiries about the two UNH introductions, the
Great Bay Strawberry and the Durham fall bearing Raspberry that we
are listing them for your convenience.
GREAT BAY STRAWBERRY—tThis strawberry has a
large plant, bearing enormous crops of large, well col-
ored, high quality berries. Plants will not be ready to
ship until April 1.
DURHAM RASPBERRY—This raspberry bears its fruit on >
shoots of the current season. It can therefore be cut
to the ground each fall to avoid winter injury and spur
blight. As a matter of fact it has survived both these
gts in fine shape. The berries ripen in Septem-
er.
PRICES: Great Bay Strawberry—
25—$3.75; 50—-$6.50; 100—$12.00; 500—$50.00; 1000—$80.00.
Prices for Durham Raspberry green shots are the same as the Great Bay
Strawberry. Write for Prices on Durham Raspberry Transplants
