texture and free from 
stringiness. Peerless is 
whiter than other Par' 
snips and this with the 
addition of their smooth' 
ness makes them very 
attractive for the home

Pride of 
Wisconsin 
Muskmelon 
Salmon Flesh—Full of Sugar 
One of the best introductions in ten 
years. A truly wonderful variety resem' 
bling Honey Rock. Flesh a beautiful 
orange. Is much improved, thicker, with 
smaller seed cavity, rind strong and hard, 
netting prominent and coarse, midseason 
in earliness, and no stringiness in the flesh. 
A good keeper. We can hardly say enough 
in favor of Pride of Wisconsin. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; H lb., 45c; lb., #1.50. 
See page 22 for other varieties of musk¬ 
melon. 
This was developed by New Jersey Experiment Farm. Rutgers de- 
velops a large plant with adequate foliage to protect the fruit from sun' 
scald. It is a second early variety, fruits are medium to large, 
similar in shape to Marglobe, except that they are more flat in 
the stem end. The fruit has thick outer and inner wall, with 
very small seed cavities, producing few seeds. The flesh is firm 
and red. The flavor of the fruit is very pleasing and makes a 
juice with a high percentage of sugar with low acidity. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 30c; oz., 50c; M lb., #1.75; lb., #5.50. 
Improved Stringless 
Green Pod Bean 
Round—Dark Green—Stringless 
If you want really delicious, tender, fine flavored, earliest snap 
beans, be sure to plant some of the Improved Stringless Green 
Pod. There is no dwarf bean that has any finer quality. Many 
of our customers consider it the best quality bush bean they 
have ever eaten and will have nothing else for snap beans and 
canning. The pods are long, round as a pencil, very meaty and 
attractive, light green color, matures earliest and the vines are 
exceptionally strong and vigorous. This bean is remarkable for 
its large yield of long, straight, tender pods. This is also the 
best round podded variety both for mar¬ 
ket growers and roadside stands. Their 
handsome appearance brings customers 
and their quality keeps them coming back 
for more. Pkt., 10c; J 2 lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., #1.05; 10 lbs., #1.80; 
15 lbs., #2.55; 25 lbs., #4.00. 
Imperial No. 847 
Lettuce 
A new lettuce of the “Iceberg” type 
developed by Dr. I. C. Jagger of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. It has 
very long, well-folded leaves, and produces 
hard, well-formed crisp heads. No. 847, 
however, heads well in warm weather 
and shows considerable tip-burn resist¬ 
ance. Has been tried most extensively on 
muck soils, showed very favorable per¬ 
formance during the past 3 years. Ad¬ 
jacent planting of other strains proved 
worthless. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 75c; 
lb., #2.50.

Comet Radishes 
Comet Radish 
All-America Winner 
Comet has the same qualities as 
Scarlet Globe, round in shape. Grows 
to fair size with a short top. The 
Comet has wonderful, long-standing 
qualities before getting pithy. In keep¬ 
ing and eating qualities it ranks as a 
leader and it will remain crisp and 
white when all other early Radishes get 
pithy. Color is bright scarlet, and tap¬ 
roots are thin. We recommend every 
Radish grower to try this strain. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 30c; lb., #1.00.

Falls.—Bert Vander Wall, Sioux

White Boston Cornell 
No. 43 Lettuce 
A strain of white Boston developed by 
Dr. J. E. Knott, New York State Agricul¬ 
ture College. Produces larger, darker green 
plants than the parent strain. Leaves 
smooth. Heart is buttery and yellow. Does 
exceptionally well on muck land. We urge 
growers who have not been successful in 
raising Big Boston lettuce to try this new 
strain. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 45c; 
!b., #1.50. 
Imperial No. 44 
Lettuce 
A new lettuce of the “Iceberg” type 
selected by Dr. I. C. Jagger of the U. S. 
Dept, of Agriculture for summer and fall 
production. Very sure heading. Heads
