ee This is a fall and winter variety of 
Delicious medium size. Although not very thick 
the shell is rather hard and strong. Usually dark 
green but sometimes lighter in color and mottled. 
The flesh is thick, very fine grained and bright 
yellow in color. It is considered by many to be 
the best for markets where quality is appreciated 
as well as very desirable for the home garden. We 
have by continued and careful selection made a 
marked improvement in uniformity of type and 
we believe the seed we offer is equal to the best 
obtainable. (See further description on page 6 )

The seed should be sown as early as possible 
after danger of frostis over. It is customary to 
burn a quantity of brush and rubbish in the spring 
on the ground intended for the seed bed; then dig 
and pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, 
after which the seed may be sown and covered very 
lightly. When the plants are about six inches high, 
transplant into rows four or five feet apart each 
way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.
