Improved Varieties 
May we again call your attention to our conscientious 
efforts toward improved stocks in vine seeds. Our pro¬ 
gram of pure-line breeding continues on a wide scale and 
we feel gratified with results so far. As these purified 
strains are released we will bring them to your attention 
from time to time. 
From 1937 production we plan to distribute a number 
of these fine new stocks, notably, Early Yellow Summer 
Crookneck Squash which has been in-bred sufficiently that 
it represents an exceptionally pure stock of uniform fruits. 
Golden Custard Squash invariably shows some mixture. 
Our new stock, which will be released in 1937 is 100% pure. 
A number of standard varieties in watermelon are likewise 
ready for distribution. We also expect to introduce Golden 
Acorn Squash, a true Table Queen type, but orange in 
color at all stages of growth. It has been developed through 
six years of pure-line breeding by our Mr. H. E. Allderdice 
at Modesto, Cal. 
This year we have maintained over 3,000 square feet of 
space under muslin covers on cucumbers alone for breeding- 
purposes. The same work is being carefully conducted on 
all leading varieties in Muskmelons, etc. 
Samples, photos and all information pertaining to vine 
seeds will be furnished at any time upon request. 
Golden Anniversary 
Next year (1937) marks our fiftieth year as growers 
for the wholesale trade, exclusively. At that time we hope 
to send to each of our customers a copy of “The Cucurbits, 
Illustrated.”
