NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES

CUCUMBER TRIUMPH 
Extra Early—Extra Good 
Unlike any variety so far offered. A cucumber the grow¬ 
ers were looking for, for a long time. That means a cucumber 
that is early, fairly long of good appearance and a reliable 
crop producer. 
Triumph is such a cucumber. An ideal cucumber as you 
will find out if you will try it. 
A robust growing new white spine variety producing 
heavy crops of very slender, very symetrical and highly 
attractive, intensely dark green fruits 10 to 11 inches long. 
Besides being heavily productive, an item of great import¬ 
ance, Triumph is as early as the famous Early Fortune. The 
fruits contain very few seeds, the flesh is tender, crisp white 
and the best quality. Very uniform, hardly any culls. Un¬ 
beatable for slicing and the KING of all cucumbers for 
shipping. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c. 
MUSKMELON SUNKIST or IMPERIAL 
A round Rockyford type melon, yellow on the outside with 
fairly coarse netting and no ribs. Flesh golden-pink solid 
and VERY thick. Its greatest value is its ability to stand 
shipping and trucking ANY distance when thoroughly vine- 
ripened. Will stay in prime condition 5-6 days, in fact im¬ 
proves in quality after being picked. It has an extremely 
strong rind and it is the heaviest melon for its size. A melon 
that does not turn soft. 
Sunkist is an extra heavy producer, the vines are un¬ 
commonly thrifty and possess much more foliage than other 
melons. In picking you will not see the melons unless you 
stand right above the patch—the heavy foliage hides the 
melons. When the vines of other melons are beginning to 
“play out’’ the vines of Sunkist are as green and fresh as can 
be. When the melon is cut open no juice runs out of it. The 
seed cavity is exceptionally small, the amount of seed accord¬ 
ingly very small. 
Sunkist is very sweet and very FRAGRANT and it never 
gets soft at the ends even when the melons are handled 
roughly, they stay firm and solid. When you market any 
kind of melon the buyers feel the melons at the ends looking 
for soft spots. No buyer will find any soft spots on Sunkist 
melons, your melons will sell and there will be many calls 
for more. In season of ripening Sunkist follows Hale’s Best. 
When Hale’s Best is about one-third gone Sunkist is ready 
for picking. 
Although Sunkist is a very new melon it is sold under 
several names like Silver Bell, etc., and is best known under 
the trade name of Weaver’s Special. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.60. 
MUSKMELON GOLDEN QUEEN 
Originated with one of the melon growers in our locality. 
This grower made quite a bit of money selling his melons 
when the times were not as tough as they are at present at 
50c per melon never for less and many a melon went for 75c 
and as high as a dollar a piece for the biggest ones. In spite 
of his being there when it comes to charging, his customers 
were on the lookout for his melons. Golden Queen is a large 
melon of high quality averaging 15 pounds per fruit, heavily 
ribbed and heavily netted, outsells any other melon on the 
market and is ready for the market three days ahead of Hale’s 
Best. This may sound like a fairy tale yet these are the facts. 
Not suitable for shipping. Pkt. 10c; oz. 16c; lb. $1.60. 
PEPPER JERSEY GIANT 
Growers in New Jersey and Florida that tried this new 
pepper say that Jersey Giant is an ideal pepper. We planted 
Jersey Giant last year but owing to terrible weather conditions 
do not consider our test fair and so recommended a small 
trial first to growers in other sections than New Jersey and 
Florida. See first what this new variety will do in your own 
locality before planting heavily. The fruit is of immense size, 
six inches long and three inches wide almost 100% four¬ 
pronged, very dark glossy green and of a deeper red color than 
any other pepper when ripe. Flesh sweet and very thick. The 
vines are of vigorous growth holding the fruit well above the 
ground. Extra early and heavily productive. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; 
lb. $6.00. 
WATERMELON DIXIE QUEEN 
New. Pink fleshed melon, oblong in shape rather large, 
vividly striped with light green, highly attractive. Quality very 
high. Sells readily on any market. Seed white, quite small and 
the number of seed per melon is so small that it can be called 
“seedless” melon. First class for shipping any distance the 
rind being thick and strong. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.60, prepaid. 
WATERMELON WICHITA 
New. Also known as Red Seeded Wichita, Hutchinson and 
under other names. A melon somewhat oblong in shape of 
large size with distinct stripes, quite early and heavily produc¬ 
tive. In spite of the fact that Wichita is not particularly attrac¬ 
tive in appearance, in many markets it outsells all other 
melons, because of its wonderful quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 
80c, postpaid. 
NEW PEAS WELCOME 
If you are growing peas for the market, you certainly 
would find growing peas, way more interesting than it is if 
you had peas to sell ten days ahead of the usual type. 
You can have such peas. This pea is our Welcome. 
Welcome is a short pea, vines about two feet high, loaded 
with handsome, well-filled, sea-green pods. If by growing 
Welcome you will not make good money, you will not by 
growing any other pea. If you will not try Welcome, grow¬ 
ing for the market, you will lose. Pkt. 10c; lb. 40c, prepaid. 
Not prepaid: 5 lbs. $1.10; 10 lbs. $2.10; 100 lbs. $20.00. 
TOMATO SCARLET DAWN 
New. An extra early, smooth globe shaped bright scarlet 
tomato of medium size with thick wall structure free from flat 
sides, ripening well to the stem. Exceptionally attractive. Vines 
of medium growth fairly open, very heavily productive. Highly 
desirable for shipping and early canning. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c. 
TOMATO RUTGER 
Briefly stated Rutger is an improved Marglobe producing 
an average of larger fruit than Marglobe, slightly earlier. The 
fruit ripens from the center, has thick walls and extra firm 
flesh of brightest crimson. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. $4.00, prepaid.
