A 1950 All- American honorable mention 

 variety and the first Hybrid Cabbage ever 

 introduced. The heads are larger than 

 Succession weighing up to 10 lbs. They are 

 solid, of good color, and remarkably uni- 

 form in size and shape. This variety 

 will appeal to all home gardeners 

 who like a solid cabbage that has 

 both size and quality. Season 80

 garden. Pkt., 25c. 





Onion 

 616 Hybrid Asgrow-Y-40 



The first hybrid onion 

 to be presented to 

 the home gardener 



Hybrid vigor when applied to onion means 

 additional earliness, hardiness, and uni- 

 formity with heavier yields. It required 

 many years of patient work from plant 

 breeders to accomplish these results for the 

 onion is not a plant that readily lends itself 

 to hybridizing. Asgrow Y-40 is an early, 

 mild, sweet onion of globular shape with a 

 tan-yellow skin and firm white flesh. Its 

 hardiness means that the seed may be 

 sown sooner than the older varieties, and 

 so produces onions earlier in the season. 

 Ready in' about 90 days from sowing. 

 Pkt., 35; 3 pkts., $1.00.

 more than 6 lbs. and measures about 6 ins. across. The melc

fruits from a hundred foot 

 row is not unusual. New- 

 Hampshire Midget ripens very 

 quickly when it reaches full 

 growth and often it is ripe 

 while still appearing green. A 

 person used to testing ordinary 

 watermelons is apt to let this 

 variety go beyond the prime 

 eating stage. This is such a 

 unique new variety that we 

 feel confident many home 

 gardeners that never before 

 have considered growing Water- 

 melons in their gardens will be 

 anxious to give it a trial this 

 year and be among the first 

 to surprise their friends with 

 this unique novelty. Pkt.. 25c.
