The Best Eating Squash in the World

developed by Prof. A. F. Yeager, horticulturist at North Dakota 
Agricultural College. It is entirely distinct in type, a turban 
shape, with thin skin and thick orange flesh at the stem end. 
The seed cavity is at the bottom covered with a very thin layer 
of flesh. Weighs from 3 to 4 pounds, just the right size for 
the average family. Has less waste than any other squash. 
Quality the very best, better even than Hubbard. We receive 
many favorable comments each year on this new squash. Order

Yellow Shoe-Peg 
Sweet Corn 
137. GOLDEN COLONEL. 
(93 days.) Por many years, gar¬ 
deners have been looking for a 
sweet flavored yellow Country Gen¬ 
tleman corn. We are pleased to 
offer Golden Colonel, the product of 
ten years of breeding, as a perfect 
yellow Country Gentleman. The 
stalk, ear, pattern and shape of ker¬ 
nel,^ as well as the required time to 
eating state are identical to the 
Country Gentleman. The ears, 7 V 2 
inches to 9 inches long and 3 to 3 % 
inches in diameter, are a beautiful 
golden color with a flavor superior 
to Country Gentleman, retaining the 
good quality of the Golden Bantam, 
one of its parents. It is equal in 
productiveness to the Country Gen¬ 
tleman. 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; V 2 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 
50c; 2 lbs., 90c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
Best Late Yellows Resistant Cabbage 
81. WISCONSIN BALLHEAD. (Yellows Resist¬ 
ant.) (105 days.) This new strain of Yellows Resistant 
Cabbage was developed in answer to a demand for a late 
storage variety that would mature earlier and not as coarse 
as Wis. Hollander No. 8. After years of careful breeding 
this new strain was originated and in trials it has proven 
100% resistant to Yellows which is not true of No. 8. It is 
also more uniform and in fact more uniform than any of its 
type ever seen and is somewhat earlier than the No. 8. It 
was not bred from Wis. No. 8 but from an entirely new strain 
of cabbage. For market gardening, shipping and storage pur¬ 
poses it is second to none. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 23c; oz., 40c; 
Vi lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00, postpaid.

Year 
Wisconsin Early Sweet Pea. 
Now a Pumpkin for the 
Small Garden 
361. NEW BUSH. Pumpkins 
are not usually grown in the home 
garden as the vines require too much 
space. We now offer a pumpkin 
that requires only about four square 
feet of space that can be easily 
grown in the home or small garden. 
Each bush produces about three to 
four good sized pie pumpkins. Note 
the illustration at the left. The 
pumpkin resembles the Kentucky 
Field in size and shape, being very 
dark green and turning to yellow. 
The seed cavity is small. It ma¬ 
tures about the same as Connecticut 
Field. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi Ik., 
40c; lb., $1.20, postpaid. 
New Wilt Resistant 
Early Tomato 
426. SCARLET DAWN. (70 days.) Received Gold

both parents. The vine is of medium growth, fairly open, 
very prolific. Fruits are medium large, globular, smooth and free 
from flat sides and puffiness. Bright scarlet ripening well to

tained 15 sound tomatoes. Some ripe, some just turning and 
others green but each free from cracks and sound. This va¬ 
riety is wilt and rust resistant. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 40c; oz.,
