SQUASH 
CALLED CYMLING 
IN THE SOUTH 
ZUCCA (It.) 
Summer squash requires one ounce to 30 hills. Winter varieties one ounce to 15 hills and 3 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Culture. Plant when the weather has become settled and the ground fairly warm. Bush varieties are planted 
3x4 ft.; running varieties 6 x 8 ft.; about 4 to 6 seeds per hili and thin out later leaving the strongest plants about 
3 to the hill. Hills similar to those made for Cucumbers with well-rotted manure or fertilizer are best. Winter varie¬ 
ties may be stored in a moderately warm dry place of even temperature. 
Summer Varieties 
315 GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. This new summer Squash has almost entirely replaced the Crook- 
neck type, in both home and commercial gardens. It di ffers from the Crookneck only in shape ; the “neck” instead 
of being curved is straight and more attractive in appear ance and much easier to pack in crates for shipping. The 
fruit is of large size and clear light yellow color. Plants bushy, vigorous growing and productive. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
316 EARLY YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK. An extensively used summer sort, with bush type of plant, 
and very prolific. Fruits curved at neck and weighing about 3 pounds. Color is light yellow at early stage and 
covered with warts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
317 MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH. A well-known early variety, largely planted in the South both for market 
and home use. Color is creamy white with comparatively smooth surface, somewhat flattened and scalloped. Vines 
are bushy, vigorous and very productive. Known as Pa tty Pan and Cymling in the South. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25.

TOBACCO 
Giant Summer Straightneck 
Squash. 
TABAK (Ger.) TABACCO (It.) 
Culture. The seed is sown from February to April in 
open beds. Ground must be clean, very finely pulverized, 
raked fine and smooth. It is customary to burn over the top of the bed by piling brush or 
litter to destroy weed seeds and add fertility for the young plants. After sowing, beds are 
protected with thin cotton cloth similar to cheese-cloth to protect them from Tobacco flies. 
About June 1st the plants are set in rich or highly fertilized ground in rows 4 feet apart 
each way. An ounce sows about 50 sq. yds., sufficient to set 2 or 3 acres. 
323 JUDY’S PRIDE BURLEY. This variety has won great popularity in certain sec¬ 
tions of Kentucky and Tennessee, and we think it is a good stand-up Burley. The leaf 
is broad, long and tapering, with prominent white ribs. The stalk is strong and holds 
the leaves well up off the ground. It has every charac¬ 
teristic of an excellent Burley and should produce a bright 
leaf of high quality. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c. 
324 KELLY’S TYPE WHITE BURLEY. A heavy 
yielder of rich, bright leaf, large, long and broad. It is 
fast becoming the most popular type of Burley and is 
largely grown by planters in all Burley sections. Pkt., 
10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c. 
Table Queen Squash. 
LIEBESAPPEL (Ger.) 
TOMATO 
FOMO D’ORO (It.) 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper Tomato. 
Culture. For earliest crop sow in a hotbed or shallow boxes in February or March, 
transplanting when 2 or 3 inches high to small pots, trays or cold frames. When 
danger of frost is past (usually in this climate the 1st to 10th of May), set in open 
ground 3x4 feet apart. Tomatoes should be staked to keep the fruit from the ground 
and it will also help to prevent blight, mildew and make them more prolific. 
One ounce produces about 2,000 plants; 2 ounces produce enough plants to set one 
acre. For early crops sow in February; for late crops sow in open bed in April or May. 
Wilt-Resistant Tomatoes 
The loss caused by tomato wilt is increasing each year. Wilt is 1 a fungus that lives 
in the soil and invades the plant through its roots. When diseased tomato vines are 
plowed under they only serve to increase the infection. In the early stages of the 
disease the leaves curl, later they turn yellow, beginning at the bottom of the plant 
which slowly dies, usually about the time the fruits are half grown. No amount of 
spraying will do any good—-the only means of controlling wilt is to grow wilt-resisting 
varieties. 
325 PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER. (See page 2). A scarlet, disease- 
resistant variety originated by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, in 1931. It is a cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special, and 
has inherited fine qualities from each parent; heavily productive. Fruits large, 
smooth, globular, solid, with thick walls and cross sections. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 2 ozs., 85c; >4 lb., $1.50. 
326 BREAK O’ DAY. This new early wilt-resistant tomato was developed by Prof. 
Pritchard of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington. The fruit is the 
same color, shape, size and solidity as Marglobe, but ripens 10 to 15 days earlier. A 
wonderful yielder and the only extra early tomato that is of a deep globe shape and 
good bright red color. Very solid fruits and few seeds ; does not crack, making it a 
wonderful shipper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 2 ozs., 85c; 14 lb., $1.50. 
327 MARGLOBE—WILT-RESISTANT, Very productive second-early variety. 
Fruits large, smooth, meaty, red, globular. It will stand up longer after it becomes 
flushed than any other variety of tomato. Highly resistant to wilt and somewhat 
resistant to blights. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 2 ozs., 85c; V4 lb., $1.50. 
328 NORTON—WILT-RESISTANT. Norton was developed from the Stone, 
ripens at the same season, and can be classed as a wilt-resistant Stone, but a more 
abundant bearer and the fruits are more solid. It yields a heavy crop of large, 
smooth, solid red fruits that ripen slowly, therefore is a good keeper and a good 
shipper; it is also remarkably drought-resistant. An excellent Tomato for home 
use, garden, for canning and for the late market. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 2 ozs., 60c; % lb., $1.00.
