Spaghetti Squash. 
SWEET CORN 
137. GOLDEN COLONEL, (93 days.) 
For many years, gardeners have been looking 
for a sweet flavored yellow Country Gentleman 
corn. We are pleased to offer Golden Colonel, 
the product of ten years of breeding, as a per¬ 
fect yellow Country Gentleman. The stalk, ear, 
pattern and shape of kernel, as well as the 
required time to eating state are identical to 
the Country Gentleman. The ears, 7% inches 
to 9 inches long and 3 to 3 Yz inches in diameter 
are a beautiful golden color with a flavor su¬ 
perior to Country Gentleman, retaining the 
good quality of the Golden Bantam, one of its 
parents. It is equal in productiveness to the 
Country Gentleman. The dainty golden shoe- 
peg kernels of good depth are ideal for canning 
as a whole kernel corn. Market gardeners should 
find a heavy demand for this corn as it is the 
only good yellow corn ready for market during 
the latter part of the season when white sweet 
corn ears predominate on the market. Pkt., 15c; 
y 2 lb., 40c; 1 lb., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.20; 5 lbs., 
$2.40, postpaid.

CUCUMBER 
163. STRAIGHT EIGHT. This new 
cucumber was awarded the gold medal in the 
1935 All-America contest. However, this is the 
first year that seed has been available. This 
outstanding variety produces symmetrical, 
cylindrical fruits about eight inches in length 
and one and one-half inches in diameter. Fruits 
are well rounded at the ends and of a deep 
green color when ready to use. They are free 
from objectionable striping or tipping. An 
ideal home and market variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
25c; Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.00, postpaid. 
“Old’s seeds always grow best.”—Eunice Nottorf, Kansas. 
“I recommend your seed as the best I have ever planted. 
Last summer was a very dry summer, but I had a fine gar¬ 
den from your seed just the same.”—Peter Johnsen, Michigan. 
“Have bought from you for over 20 years and the seeds 
have always been true to name.” — W. J. Gould, Illinois. 
Chippewa Potato. 
CHIPPEWA. A new late potato introduced 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A 
heavy yielding variety which is highly resistant 
to mild Mosaic. The Grand Rapids station re¬ 
ports a yield in a test plot of 464 bushels to 
the acre. This season it won the Sweepstakes 
at the Minnesota State Fair.. 
Chippewa has a velvety white skin, shallow 
eyes, and is slightly oblong in shape. Matures 
earlier than Green Mountain and other late 
varieties. An ideal late potato for Wisconsin. 
Price not prepaid: Pkt., $1.10; bu., $3.00; 100 
lbs, $4.75. 
BEAN 
32. McCREA’S BUSH LIMA. A new 
bush lima that is entirely different and has 
real merit. The bush is strong and stocky. 
It will stand heat, cold and wet weather better 
than any other large lima. The pods are small 
like a baby lima, but the beans are large and 
thick of the pqtato type. Each pod contains 
four or five large seeds which retain a green 
tint when cooked. The dry seed is small and shriveled 
like a Sugar Pea and requires less seed per. planting. When 
cooked the bean swells to a very large size. The flavor 
is unusually sweet and different from any other lima. It 
is an exceptionally fine dry lima for winter use. The large 
plump bean is thin skinned, tender, and very sweet flavored. 
Try some of these this year. Pkt., 10c; V 2 lb., 25c; lb., 
45c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.60, postpaid. 
"7 am pleased with the seed we get from your firm. We 
could not think of using any other cabbage seed. Sure had 
fine cabbage for the last five years.” — Mrs. J. F. LePere, 
Illinois. 
SQUASH 
412. SPAGHETTI. (105 days.) Here is a distinct 
novelty for your garden. Grow some of these in your garden 
this year and surprise your friends with this unique 
vegetable. Spaghetti Squash gets its name from 
the unique way in which the meat falls from the shell 
when baked. The contents resemble spaghetti. It is im¬ 
portant that the squash be fully ripe and that they are 
baked well. The shell of the squash is very thin., only 
about one-eighth of an inch thick. The quality is not 
equal to Buttercup or the Hubbard types. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
25c; Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.00, postpaid.
