Orange Marrow Pumpkin 
The New Enormous Yielding Pumpkin 
Which won a Grand Prize at the P. P. I. E. 
Orange Marrow Pumpkin. 
While I hesitate to offer a new variety of vege- 
table to the public until thoroughly tested as to 
its merits, I feel sure that the following de- 
scription by the introducer is authentic, and 
the pumpkin the finest that has been placed 
on the market in years. The yield has been 
given at from 20 to 40 tons per acre. It is 
an immense cropper not only in weight but 
also the number of fruits, many of which are 
two feet across and weigh 150 pounds each. 
Orange Marrow Pumpkin is a very large, 
round, flat pumpkin, brilliant vermilion orange 
in color. The flesh is extremely thick and 
solid, deep orange and of the finest quality. 
Do not hesitate to plant this variety if you 
want pumpkins for your table or market. I 
have a limited amount of seed to offer. Your 
order placed now will receive prompt attention. 
Pkt, 15c; oz, 35c; y lb., 80c; lb., $2.50. 
While this onion has been on the market 
for the past two seasons, I have waited until 
its merits had been established before offering 
it to the public. The unusual mildness and ex- 
cellent flavor lias made this variety remark- 
ably popular, and the demand for it is large 
in the vegetable markets all over the United 
States. It is a good keeper, large, thin straw- 
colored skin, and so mild that it can be eaten 
like an apple. This onion commands the high- 
est price in the market and should be planted 
about the first of February, and will mature in 
August. It was introduced from Spain four 
vears ago, and is the mildest Spanish onion 
known. Seed is scarce, but it will be profitable 
to the grower who plants this variety. Pkt., 
15c; oz., 60c; y A lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
Plant Strawberries. See description of th* 
New Carolina strawberry on page 62. The 
Carolina is the strawberry for California. 
The war lias taught us many lessons and 
opened up many new resources. For years it 
was considered necessary to import all our 
cauliflower seed from Europe, but it has now 
been demonstrated that the best cauliflower 
seed for Southern California is grown right 
here at home. Indeed, it is now a fact that 
about 90% of the cauliflower grown here for 
market is produced from California grown 
seed. In view of this fact, I have made ar- 
rangements with one of the best growers in 
Southern California to save seed for me. This 
seed is carefully selected from only the very 
best heads and can be relied upon to produce 
the best results.
