Pride of Wisconsin Muskmelon. 
THE BEST MUSKMELON IN 
THE WORLD 
246. PRIDE OF WISCONSIN. (95 
days.) We cannot speak too highly of this new 
melon. In fact it is “tops” with ns and we 
predict it will soon displace Honey Rock and 
others of this type. The handsome fruits measure 
about seven by six inches and weigh about four 
pounds. 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 prematurely as it matures which 
is one of the faults of the Honey Rock, and it 
can be picked fully ripe and shipped long dis¬ 
tances. The first fruits ripen in about 90 days 
and they are of uniformly large size and con¬ 
tinue to bear throughout the season giving the 
grower many pickings of No. 1 fruits. As a mar¬ 
ket variety it has no equal. Seed supply limited. 
Order early. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 40c; 
lb., $1.10, postpaid. 
VALIANT EXCELLENT EARLY 
MARKET TOMATO 
451. VALIANT. (72 days.) A new early 
tomato which is proving i)rofitabie in Wisconsin 
as a market variety especially on reasonably 
light soil. Its outstanding feature is earliness, 
with quality, being about five days ahead of 
Stokesdale and Bonny Best. Large size and 
strong interior structure. Vine growth about 
equal to Earliana and not heavy enough to pro¬ 
tect fruit from burning in continuous sunny 
weather. Will have ample vine growth on heavier 
soils. Qualitv of fruit is excellent. Pkt., 10c; 
1/2 oz.,’ 25c; oz., 40c; Vi lb., $1.30, postpaid. 
NEW EARLY WATERMELON 
HAS EXCELLENT QUALITY 
274. EARLY KANSAS. (85 days.) A 
new introduction of outstanding merit. It is 
rapidly gaining wflde po])ularity on the markets 
of the mid-west and northern states. The size is 
large, many fruits weighing forty to fifty pounds. 
The average size is about 13 by 15 inches. It 
is remarkably early and of fine quality. Rind is 
dark green with alternate stripes of a lighter 
shade and is of medium thickness well suited 
for carrying reasonable distances. The flesh is 
rich red color of a delightful flavor. Seeds shiny 
brown. We advise our northern melon growers 
to be sure to try this new variety. In comparison 
with Dixie Queen it is a trifle larger and earlier. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, post¬ 
paid. 
Golden Table 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, which 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 would term 
semi-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., 
10c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
Buttercup Squash. 
THE BEST EATING SQUASH 
IN THE WQRLD 
406. BUTTERCUP. Buttercup is a new 
winter squash developed by Prof. A. F. Yeager, 
horticulturist at North Dakota Agricultural Col¬ 
lege. 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, ,iust 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. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
20c; 1/4 lb., 55c; lb., $1.60, postpaid. 
IMPERIAL NQ. 45 MUSK- 
MELQN MILDEW RESISTANT 
236. IMPERIAL NO. 45. (88 days.) An 
excellent powdery mildew resistant mid-season 
variety. Introduced by Dr. -laggar in the Im¬ 
perial Valley in California. Ninety-nine and one- 
half per cent resistant in field tests. Poor qual¬ 
ity in melons some seasons is traced to a touch 
of mildew and for this reason it is good insur¬ 
ance to plant a resistant variety. Vines are 
vigorous and exceedingly sturdy and strong and 
remain green longer than any other variety. 
Fruit is slightl.y oval with ribs hardly noticeable. 
Flesh is very thick, deep salmon and edible to 
the rind. Seeds are com])act in the center and 
do not jar loose with handling. An excellent 
shipping variety of the finest'quality. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; Vi lb., 40c; lb., $1.10, postpaid.

is ivory-white and the flesh almost snow-white.

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 compact, 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.,
