• BUTTERCUP SQUASH 
JT See Colored Picture on 1 
T Inside Front Cover jf 
For years 1 have said Table Queen was the 
best individual squash grown, and I still believe 
that is so. But if you want a squash just the 
right size for two people, Professor Yeager’s 
New Buttercup squash is the one to plant. 1 be¬ 
lieve the Buttercup squasli is the best quality of 
any squash on the market today. 
A cross between Essex Hybrid and Quality 
developed by Professor A. F. Yeager of the North 
Dakota Experiment Station. The squashes 
weigh between 3 and 5 pounds with thin, tough 
green skin. There is no fibrous section and the 
deep, rich orange flesh is untinged with green. It 
is a good keeper with less waste and shrinkage in 
cooking than any other squash we have tried. 
The flavor is pleasant and very like that of a 
sweet potato, very sweet; the texture smooth 
and comparatively dry. This is the best squash 
we have ever tasted. Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; 
!4 lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.75. 
• PEAS

Front Cover 
BIG DAKOTA — This fine new variety of early 
peas is going to supplant a good many older 
types. The vines are dwarf, 15 to 18 in. high, and 
the deep green pods are often \y 2 in. long and are 
tightly packed with 8 to 10 luscious peas. By 
actual count, they contain one more pea to the 
pod and more pods to the vine than any other. 
Our tests show it to be the earliest dwarf, large 
podded pea. The peas are of a delicious, melting 
quality, sweet and tender, ‘A pt., 15c; 1 lb., 28c; 
5 lbs., $1.25 Postpaid. Not Prepaid 10 lbs., 
$2.15; 25 lbs. $4.75; 50 lbs., $8.90; 100 lbs. 
$17.20.

FAMILY GARDEN COLLECTION 
• CUCUMBER 
BLACK DIAMOND—It Stays Green. The 
best early cucumber for shipping. This excellent 
cucumber is adapted to all sections and all soils, 
and we highly recommend it to both small and 
large growers. Whether used for pickling when 
small or for slicing when fully grown, it is a valu¬ 
able variety for the home garden, for local mar 
kets, and for distant shipping. The fruits grow 
7 to 8 in. long, are cylindrical in shape, perfectly 
smooth, and of handsome appearance. Their 
even dark green color, extending from one end of 
the fruit to the other with small white rays at 
the blossom-end, will sell them on sight. Firm, 
white, crisp flesh. Pkt., 6c; 1 oz., 13c; y 4 lb., 
25c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50 Postpaid.

TOMATO—SCARLET TOPPER 
OR PRITCHARD 
An All American Winner 
Pritchard stands at the head of the list as a 
shipping tomato. Medium early, large, smooth, 
and extremely solid of an intense scarlet color. 
Most productive and very attractive. Of a 
solidity that is truly remarkable, with very small 
seed pockets and no core. Its productiveness, 
particularly on rich soil, is amazing and individu¬ 
al plants will bear 70 to 80 fruits each. It will 
yield 15 tons and more per acre. Pkt., 5c; y 2 
oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; </ 4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.15;

MUSKMELON 
NEW IMPERIAL CANTALOUPE 
An all-American winner. This is the only 
cantaloupe that can be allowed to ripen on the 
vine and still be shipped long distances. Other 
cantaloupes must be picked from three days to a 
week before they are ripe and will never have the 
quality of the vine ripened fruit. The grower 
who has the New Imperial Cantaloupe can let 
his fruit get ripe on the vine, ship it long dis¬ 
tances, have it arrive at the market in perfect 
condition, and the quality will be better than any 
other melon. This is a heavily netted, round 
melon; small seed cavity; bright yellow flesh. 
One of the most attractive melons ever put on 
the market. Market gardeners can safely dis¬ 
card all others and raise only the new Imperial. 
Pkt., 8c; 1 oz., 15c; A lb., 40c; '/ 2 lb., 75c; 
1 lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $5.00 Postpaid. 
• CABBAGE 
MARION MARKET (Disease Resistant)— 
The Marion Market Yellows Resistant Cab¬ 
bage was bred from the Copenhagen Market but 
differs from the latter in several respects. It is 
about 10 days later, considerably larger, and will 
outyield the Copenhagen Market at least one- 
third. The heads are round and very solid; will 
stand shipment well. This is the ideal cabbage 
for the main crop early market. It is very highly 
resistant to Cabbage Yellows, and if you are in 
the Yellows infested area, you should plant this 
cabbage for early. We have records of over 25 
tons per acre, and every head solid and salable. 
Pkt. 8c; '/ 2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c; A lb., 65c; 
1 lb., $2.00; 5 lbs., $8.90 Postpaid.

{ See Colored Picture on 1 
Front Cover jf” 
Sometimes called Golden Country Gentleman. 
A cross of Country Gentleman and Golden Ban¬ 
tam, taking on the character of the former vari¬ 
ety, except in color, and combining the delicious 
qualities of both. The seven foot stalks produce 
two or three medium large ears. The yellow 
shoe-peg type kernels are set on the ears in the 
Country Gentleman style. One of the best 
yielders and very good quality. A pt., 15c; 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.30 Postpaid. Not Prepaid 
10 lbs., $2.10; 25 lbs., $4.65; 50 lbs., $8.60; 100

Gentlemen: 
I feel like writing you about the good suc¬ 
cess I had with the Cossack alfalfa I bought 
from you last spring. After corn planting I 
seeded 100 lbs. of Cossack alfalfa on 6 acres 
without a nurse crop, and 1 got two cuttings 
of hay the first season. 
Yours truly,
