NEW VARIETIES LEAD 
The Way 
To Better Gardens 
Golden TaWe Queen Squash. 
New Golden Table Queen Squash 
Has Short Vine 
416. GOLDEN TABLE QUEEN. (60 
days.) The Green Table Queen Squash has long 
been popular with gardeners, and we believe that 
the new Golden Table Queen, w’hich is very 
similar but has a golden color, will be equally 
as popular. It has all the good features of the 
old Table Queen with the addition of having a 
short vine. The plant is what we v/ould term 
serni-bush and its vine growth is very much re¬ 
stricted as compared to the Green Table Queen. 
This fact alone will make it very popular to the 
home gardener who is limited for space. Pkt., 
lOc] oz., 15c; Vi lb., 36c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
Pride of Wisconsin Muskmelon. 
PRIDE OF WISCONSIN IS THE FINEST 
MUSKMELON GROWN. 
246. PRIDE OF WISCONSIN. (95 
days.) We cannot speak too highly of this 
new melon. In fact it is “tops’’ with us and 
we predict it will soon displace Honey Rock 
and others of this type. The handsome fruit.s 
measure about seven by six inches and weigh 
about four <)ounds. The rind is very hard of a 
pearly-gray color, faintly ribbed and heavily 
covered with a distinctive netting. The pink 
flesh is unusually pink with excellent flavor. 
The triangular seed cavity is almost compact. 
The flesh of this melon does not soften pre¬ 
maturely as it matures which is one of the 
faults of the Honey Rock, and it can be 
picked fully ripe and shipped long distances. 
The first fruits ripen in about 90 days and 
they are of uniformly large size and continue 
to bear throughout the season giving the 
grower many pickings of No. 1 fruits. As a 
market variety it has no equal. Seed supply 
very short. Order early. Pkt., 15c; OZ., 30c; 
V4 Ifi'! 60c; lb., $1.75, postpaid. 
Early Prolific Straight Neck Squash. 
New Straight Neck Squash Best of All 
Summer Squashes 
415. EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHT 
NECK. (56 days.) We are pleased to offer 
to our customers Early Prolific Straight Neck 
which is uniformly heavy productive over a long 
period. Early Prolific Straight Neck is strictly 
bush in habit of growth with comi^act, ample 
foliage permitting close planting. The fruits are 
straight, smooth, and of a delicate appetizing 
color. Can be used when only 4 to 5 inches long 
and remains excellent for table until 12 to 14 
inches long. It is just as early as Summer 
Crookneck, but much more prolific. We consider 
this new variety the peak of perfection in sum¬ 
mer squashes. A 1938 All-America winner. Pkt., 
10 c; oz., 20 c; V4 li>-> 50c; lb., $1.60, postpaid.

Distinct Flavor 
Golden Marvel Muskmelon. 
EXCELLENT NEW LARGE 
MUSKMELON 
252. GOLDEN MARVEL. (90 days.) A 
new melon that is adapted to heavy ground and 
does very well under adverse growing conditions. 
It has proved very popular on the Chicago mar¬ 
kets and for trucking long distances. Fruits 
measure about 8x7 inches and average about 7V4 
pounds. Color of fruit is a bluish gray turning 
to golden yellow at maturity with a coarse net¬ 
ting which develops as the fruits become ripe. 
The flesh is dark pink in color and of good 
thickness. It is a heavy yielder and ripens in 
mid-summer. Pkt., 15c; oz., 30c; V4 lb., 60c; 
lb., $1.75, postpaid. 
New Ace Cucumber 
Fine for Market 
167. ACE. (60 days.) This 
Cucumber is very uniform in 
length. Size 12x3 inches with an 
average weight of about two and 
one-half pounds. Because of its 
uniformity and dark green color, 
it is becoming increasingly popu¬ 
lar for market puri)Oses. The fruits 
taper at both ends and flesh is 
very thick. Vigorous and high 
yielding. Similar to Longfellow 
but shorter, better color, and more 
prolific. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 
50c; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 
Wilt Resistant Klondike No. 7. 
New Klondike No. 7 Is Wilt Resistant 
269. WILT RESISTANT KLON¬ 
DIKE NO. 7. (90 days.) This is the first 
strain of Klondike Watermelon to be released 
that shows a high resistance to wilt. All the 
desirable characteristics and quality of the 
old Klondike have been retained with the 
added feature of being wilt resistant. The 
seeds are mostly black intermingled with 
lighter shades. Klondike, in our estimation, 
is the best and sweetest of all melons. The 
thin rind is dark green, shape long, very 
symmetrical. Flesh distinct shade of deep 
red. Seeds small. Pkt., 10 c; oz., 20c; V4 lb., 
40c; lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
Wisconsin All H ead Early Latest 
Vellows Resistant Cabbage 
75. WISCONSIN ALL HEAD 
EARLY. (85 days.) A new yellows re¬ 
sistant variety that can be planted early or 
late. It is the earliest of all the large cab¬ 
bage. Heads deep, flat, and solid. Makes a 
fine winter cabbage if planted late. If but 
one variety of cabbage is desired, probably 
All Head Early is the best for all puri)oses. 
Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 1/4 lb., 
$1.20; lb., $3.50, postpaid. 
95. NEW PURPLE. The head is 
of the same shape and size as the regular 
cauliflower, but instead of being white it 
is green to begin with and upon reaching 
maturity and upon becoming exposed to 
light, it turns deep purple. The jplantS 
need not be tied up until the heads have 
turned color and then only to prevent the 
heads from bolting to seed. The color is 
lost during the cooking, regaining the 
green color. It does not have the true 
cauliflower flavor, but a flavor similar to 
sprouting Broccoli. A splendid novelty to 
grow in your garden. Pkt., 16c; 1/4 oz., 
50c; Vz oz., 90c; oz., $1.60; V4 lb., $4.10, 
postpaid.
