It is good business for you to know about the new vegetable varieties as the seed 

 becomes commercially available. They may contain the answer to more production, 

 better quality, and thus more profits from your crops. ... It is part of our job to tell 

 you about these new varieties. . . . They are destined in our opinion to become 

 widely used as commercial varieties in many sections of the country. . . . 

 If you grow any of the vegetables represented by these new varieties, we / 



suggest that you try them on a moderate part of your acreage. See how 

 well they do for you.

SIOUX 



Variety Yield Tests Place 

 It Among the Most Pro- 

 ductive with Highest 

 Yields of U. S. No. 1 

 Grade Tomatoes. 



Selected from a cross between All-Red and Stokesdale; the 

 fruits mature two weeks earlier than Rutgers or Marglobe. 



The fruits are almost globe shape, of medium size; light green, ripening into a solid 

 red. Flesh walls thick; meaty centers, with practically no hard core. The vine growth, 

 although relatively open, is adequate to protect the fruits from the sun. Set the plants 

 4 to 5 ft. apart. Closer planting may result in greater yields but smaller fruits.

LETTUCE - Progress 



See Front Cover Illustration 

 Darker green, thicker leaved, more resistant to tip 

 burn, and a few days earlier than imperial No. 44. 



The Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland, and the New Jer- 

 sey Agricultural Experimental Station have had this 

 variety under trial for several seasons. For the past 

 three seasons it has been in trial in several locations in 

 the Eastern states, and it appears to be well-adapted 

 as an early-maturing, tip burn resistant lettuce.

Bush Lima Bean 



TRIUMPH 



SILVER MEDAL WINNER— ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS 1949 



Recommended for canning and freezing and wherever a high quality Baby Lima is desired. 



Triumph Lima Bean is the result of a cross between Fordhook Bush Lima and Sieva Pole 

 Lima. A U. S. Department of Agriculture product, it was selected as a variety of high 

 eating quality and small seed size. 



The pods are the same length as Henderson, but narrower and thicker. The beans are 

 three to four in number; tightly packed in the pods;, uniform light green seed coats; 

 approximately same sieve size as Henderson, but heavier because of thickness. The 

 bright-green color holds in the canned beans. The plants are as wide as Henderson, 

 but slightly shorter and more compact. The pods are borne in clusters under the foliage 

 near the base of the plants. Season 70 days. lb. 15 lbs. 100 lbs.

Tbuv TOMATO 



WISCONSIN No. 55 



The fruits are larger than Rutgers, with maturity 

 only slightly later than John Baer or Bonny Best. 



Peak harvest is reached considerably earlier than 

 Rutgers, slightly later than John Baer. Vine 

 growth is luxuriant, although open, for moderate 

 shading. Branching is characteristic, bifurcated 

 main stem appearance resulting in sprawling 

 open growth. Pale green fruits, darker at stem, 

 ripen uniformly scarlet red, somewhat flattened 

 or 80% depth to width, fleshy center with 5 to 6 

 locules well filled. Fruits are large in wet or dry 

 conditions, larger than John Baer, Rutgers and 

 Stokesdale. It seems widely adapted, early, large, 

 good color and tolerant to early blight and free 

 from cracks.
