NEW BRBY LIMfi HfiS THICK SEEDS 
29. BABY POTATO LIMA. A prolific 
bush lima bean originated as a field cross be¬ 
tween Henderson’s Bush Lima and one of the 
Potato Lima types. In vine character and gen¬ 
eral appearance of pods is similar to Hender¬ 
son’s Bush and can be handled by the same 
cultural methods. The seeds are small but thick, 
of bright green color when fresh, and similar 
in flavor to Pordhook. A thriftier and more 
robust plant than Henderson’s Bush, averaging 
3.3 seeds per pod in trials. Admirably adapted 
not only for_ produce markets but also for can¬ 
ning and quick freezing. Originally selected by 
Prof. W. A. Huelsen, University of Illinois. A 
silver medal winner in this year’s All-America 
contest receiving the most points of any entry.

Early Calwonder Pepper. 
EfiRLY CfiLWONDER PEPPER 
RESISTS STORM DfiMRGE 
347 . EARLY CALWONDER. (65 days.) 
This variety was especially develoi^ed for the 
northern states where the growing season is 
short. Unlike most strains of California Won¬ 
der, the bush is strong and stocky so that when 
well loaded with fruits, the plants resist serious 
damage in heavy winds. Fruits are mild and 
sweet averaging 3 V 2 inches in diameter by 4 
inches long, smooth and uniform. Flesh is thick, 
deep green, changing to bright crimson when 
ripe. Pkt., 10c; 1/2 oz., 30c; oz., 55c; Vi lb.,

FOR THE NORTH 
182. NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID, 
This variety won the silver medal in the 1939 
All-America Vegetable Contest. A new hybrid 
egg plant with medium dwarf growth, extra 
early maturity and unusually prolific. In our 
opinion it is the finest variety to grow in the 
North, due to its extreme earliness and its yield¬ 
ing ability. Fruits are medium sized, deep pur¬ 
ple, and well shaped. Pkt., 10c; 1/2 oz., 25c;

445 . EARLY BALTIMORE. (73 days.) 
We have been watching with interest some of 
the new varieties of tomatoes being introduced 
by the various agricultural stations. Early Balti¬ 
more appears to us as being one of the best of 
the new introductions. It is a second-early va¬ 
riety, resistant to fuscarian wilt. The vine is 
somewhat smaller than regular Baltimore and the 
leaves are finely cut. Fruits are oblong, smooth, 
bright red, solid with small core and shallow 
basin at stem end. It is excellent for market 
gardens and canning. In our trials it appears 
to be particularly adapted for Northwest grow¬ 
ing conditions especially during hot and dry 
weather. We predict that this variety will be¬ 
come very popular in the Northwest. Pkt., 10c;

RRCINE MRRKET BEST ERRLY 
YELLOW RESISTRNT CRBBRGE 
71. WISCONSIN RACINE MARKET. 
(60 days.) A yellows resistant selection from a 
very early strain of Copenhagen Market. Similar 
in leaf and head type to that variety except that 
the leaf color is grey-green rather than yellow- 
green. In general it can be termed a yellows re¬ 
sistant strain of Golden Acre. It is very early 
and uniform. Heads are round, solid and of a su¬ 
perior quality. An excellent short-season type 
for early shipment or early kraut. Can also be 
planted late for winter storage. In trials this 
variety is 98 to 100 per cent yellows resistant.

“I feel 1 must tell you the fine cabbage we had 
this last year. Had more than we could use. Made 
25 gallons of kraut and sold lots of cabbage. I 
order lots of other different seed. Had such fine 
popcorri, and everything icas so perfect and good. 
Sure was more than pleased. I expect to send my 
order as often as I need seed and tell my neighbors 
about your cabbage seed."

Racine Market Cabbage. 
450. RUTGER'S. (72 d ays.) A now 
second-early variety developed by the New Jer¬ 
sey Agricultural Experiment Station and intro¬ 
duced a few years ago. It is a cross between 
Marglobe and .1. T. D. and is very desirable for 
market as well as for canning. The plant is 
large with thick stems and vigorous foliage. The 
fruits are similar to Marglobe but flat at the 
stem end. Bright red, smooth, with thick walls 
and small seed cells, very firm and of low 
acidity. We consider it one of the best varieties 
for juice and it is one of the few varieties that 
ripens from the center out. Pkt., 5c; 1/2 oz.,
