See description of 

 this fine new va- 

 riety on page 45. 



New Tomato 



W3 Wisconsin #55 



Earliness and an Extended Bearing Season 

 make it the Perfect Home Garden Variety. 

 This new variety produces large fruits just a 

 few days later than the earliest varieties, but 

 it continues to bear good crops well into the 

 season. 



The truits are a rich scarlet-red in color; 

 meaty, and of excellent flavor and quality. 

 The vine growth is luxuriant, although open 

 for moderate shading. It is tolerant to early 

 blight and has shown wide adaptability to 

 soil and climate. 



We have found that it produces surprisingly 

 large crops -when unfavorable conditions 

 have checked most other varieties.

All-America Selections 

 Silver Medal 1949 



Triumph was selected as a variety of high 

 eating quality. Tenderometer readings show 

 the beans to be more tender than the Hender- 

 son types. The bright green seed coat makes 

 Triumph the most attractive of the baby 

 limas. It retains its green color longer, and 

 is thus ideal for quick-freezing and canning. 

 The beans are tightly packed in the pods, 

 and are three or four in number. The plants 

 are short and compact. Season 72 days. 

 Triumph brings us a distinct new variety in 

 the thick-seeded baby Fordhook class. It 

 wa3 selected from a cross between the Sieva 

 Pole and Fordhook Bush Lima by Dr. Roy 

 Magruder and Dr. Robert E. Wester, U.S.D.A. 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, Beltsville, Maryland.

 resistance to pithiness; retains its prime condition much longer 

 than most varieties of radish. The tops are exceptionally short 

 and grey-green in color. Season 23 days. See page 40.
