 any other variety. It is a rapid grovidng 

 variety of the thick leaved type and ■vnU

 crumpled, very thick and especially tender 

 and succulent. Being of the smooth leaved

SQUASH 



GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK There 

 are two distinct advantages for the house- 

 wife in this new summer squash. It ismoie 

 convenient to handle and more easilv 

 prepared for cooking than the crookneck 

 type from which it was bred. All of the 

 tenderness and good flavor of the parent type 

 has been retained along with the rich, golden -"' 

 cream color which is so attractive. 



The plants are strictly bush, vigorous gro'U'ing and each 

 bears from one to five fruits. These are.-elongated, pear- 

 shaped, distinctly warted, and when young are light cream 

 in color, deepening to a golden cream as they grow. They 

 are usually considered in the best table condition when 

 about six inches long but can be allowed to grow a length of 

 ten inches without loss of quahty. (See accompanying 

 illustration and further description on page 43.) '

TOMATO 



MARGLOBE For all-around excellence our tomato trials have 

 never shown an equal to this superlative sort. Some of its 

 fine qualities are — attractive scarlet-red color, perfect globe 

 shape, ideal size (about 6 ounces) — firm soUd flesh and a 

 flavor that is neither flat nor too acid. The variety is 

 disease resistant and the 'vigorous growing plants produce 

 ripe fruits soon after the first early sorts. The fruits ripen 

 clear to the stems and rarely crack. They are perfect for 

 sHcing and have no superior for canning and 

 catsup. The home gardener will find no 

 better main crop tomato than this. On the 

 inside front cover is shown an unretouched 

 photograph in natural colors of a cluster of 

 Marglobe fruits. (See further description 

 and illustration on page 45.)

 greens and sweet tender turnips you can 

 have both by plantifig this new variety from 

 the Orient. Our trials have shown it to be 

 superior in many Respects to most of the 

 varieties generally^ cultivated in -America. 

 The tops grow quickly to a size large enough 

 for use. The leaves are much like those of 

 broad leaved mustard, are of riclwiark green 

 color and are crisp and tenoer. If in

 row about 4 inches apart,. t^Q^'will produce 

 large, clear white globular turnips which 

 will prove of excellent qliahty for table use.
