Vegetable Varieties 
Barnum has been dead for years but it 
has taken all this time for the buying 
public to find out that just because a 
melon is bigger, it doesn’t necessarily 
mean that it is better. Seneca Bender 
is smaller than the old type—but very 
definitely sweeter and of better flavor. 
SENECA BENDER MUSKMELON: 95 days. Many 
growers have been looking for a uniform, medium¬ 
sized Bender with high quality flesh. We believe 
Seneca Bender is the answer. The vine is vigorous 
and very productive. The melon, which uniformly 
weighs from five to six pounds, shows the typical 
Bender netting, ribbing and large blossom end scar. 
The flesh is orange-yellow, firm and sweet. This 
melon will ship well and we believe the uniform size 
and shape makes it adaptable to crating. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 35 cts.; y, lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.00. 
QUEEN OF COLORADO MUSKMELON: 90 days. 
All-America Honorable Mention. This appears to be 
an improved strain of Pride of Wisconsin and, we 
believe, should be considered as such. Originally, 
we believe, it was the result of a cross between 
Honey Rock and Hearts of Gold. Queen of Colorado 
combines the tough rind and flavor of Honey Rock 
with the thick flesh and texture of Hearts of Gold. 
The melons are slightly larger than Honey Rock and 
run more uniform in size. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz.35 cts.; 
yi lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.00. 
IMPERIAL NO. 44 LETTUCE: Outstanding in all 
New York State Lettuce trials. A large head of the 
iceberg type. Seems to be quite resistant to tipburn. 
Forms a larger percentage of marketable heads than 
other varieties. Pkt. 10 cts.; y 2 oz. 25 cts.; oz. 
40 cts. 
JAPANESE BUNCHING ONION: Sown in the 
spring, this variety produces large green onions early 
in the summer. It does not form a bulb. The stems 
are nearly twice as large as ordinary bunching onions 
and hold in eating condition for a long time. If 
sowed in the fall and given a little protection, this 
onion will stand all winter and produce fine large 
“green” onions in the spring. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 
cts.; y lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2.15; 10 lbs. $19.00. 
EARLY PROLIFIC SUMMER SQUASH: 50 days. 
A new, heavy yielding straightneck squash that re¬ 
ceived the All-America award last year. The fruits 
are a uniform creamy color but not quite as free from 
crooks as the Connecticut strain. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
20 cts.; 3A lb. 60 cts.; lb. $1.90. 
MORSE’S MARKET PEAS: 70 days. New, large- 
podded early midseason variety. Vines robust, 24 
to 30 inches tall; pods 5 to 5y inches long. This 
variety produces abundantly—many doubles. y 2 lb. 
15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.85, Prepaid. 100 lbs. 
$16.00, Not prepaid. 
MICHIGAN STATE FORCING TOMATO: Re¬ 
cently developed at Michigan State College especi¬ 
ally for greenhouse growing but it has proven to be 
excellent for growing outside on stakes or trellis. 
The fruits are medium size, rich deep scarlet and free 
from blemishes. Flesh thick and firm. Michigan 
State is larger than Waltham Forcing and Comet. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; y oz. 30 cts.; oz. 90 cts.; y, lb. 
$3.00; lb. $10.00. 
Morse’s Market is not only large podded but the pea itself is big. It 
doesn’t take long to pick and shell enough for dinner—and aren’t 
those peas fresh from the garden good!
