 tively short period of time. The smooth- 

 ness of the pods is very noticeable and 

 the yield exceeds that of any other sort.

Superb for Home Growing 



The most vigorous of the cut-leaved 

 sorts developed by Dr. Ross C. Thomp- 

 son of the USDA Bureau of Plant Indus- 

 try Station, Beltsville, Md. Larger and

 than any other yet tender and sweet

 all loose-leaf lettuce to bolt to seed. 

 Resembles Endive with a mature plant 

 filling a medium-sized salad bowl. Very 

 uniform and high in vitamin C and A. 

 Pkt. 25c; V2 oz- 50c; oz. 95c. 



5853 Spinach America 



This new variety which originated in 

 Holland surpasses all others in its abil- 

 ity to withstand hot weather and that 

 is good ne"ws to many home gardeners 

 who lose the tail end of their spring- 

 sown crop due to hot weather. It also 

 is the most productive of all spinach 

 with thick, heavily savoyed, dark green 

 leaves. Looks tender and is very tasty. 

 Every spinach lover should give it a 

 trial to get acquainted with it. Pkt. 25e; 

 oz. S5c; 1/4 lb. $1.65. 



5714 Pepper, Vinedale 



lust think of this: Vinedale was devel- 

 oped at the Horticultural Experiment 

 Station, Ontario, Canada. What a boon 

 that is to northern gardeners who so 

 far could not get a full crop from the 

 other kinds that take so much longer to 

 mature. The plants are only 12 to 14 in. 

 tall, well branched, and bear a heavy 

 crop of medium-sized, green-red fruits 

 with thick, fleshly walls. Pkt. 35c. 



Pumpl<in, All Neck Cushaw 



5753. Productive North and South al- 

 though it originated in Georgia. Ex- 

 cellent for baking and pies — and real 

 quality, too. The long, curved fruits are 

 smooth and have cream-colored skin. 

 You will be amazed at the solidity of 

 the attractive, solid, orange flesh — and 

 so much of it with just a small bole at 

 the blossom and where the seeds are 

 formed. Grows about 30 in. long and 

 matures in about 108 days. Pkt. 35c. 



Muskmelon, Golden Delight 



5520. Bred in Michigan where the sea- 

 sons are short and summers on the 

 cool side. The many who have to be 

 content with similar conditions can-with 

 confidence include it in their gardens. 

 And what large fruits: 6 by 41/2 in.; of 

 oval shape with gray skin and luscious, 

 thick, salmon flesh that tastes every bit 

 as good as it looks. Always of top 

 quality and able to withstand adverse 

 weather conditions better than most 

 varieties. Pkt. 25c.
