seeds to the hill and thin to four plants when 
they begin to vine. One ounce summer will 
plant 50 hills; one ounce winter will plant 25 
hills; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
SUMMER VARIETIES 
WHITE BUSH SCALLOP —Fruit from our 
strain measures 9 to 11 inches in diameter, of 
creamy, white color and fine for table use or 
market. 
YELLOW BUSH SCALLOP —Is similar to 
the White Bush, except in color, being a 
golden yellow. Is of the Patty Pan type, 
sometimes called Golden Custard. 
GOLDEN SUMMER CROOKNECK —Crop 
matures in about 60 days. Fruit weighs about 
2 pounds. Flesh is pale green while the skin 
is warted and of a bright yellow color. 
GIANT SUMMER CROOKNECK —Is much 
larger than the Yellow Summer Crookneck. 
Fruit grows from 18 to 24 inches long and 
4:'V2 inches through. 
FORDHOOK — While a summer sort, if 
stored in a warm dry place, keeps well. Out¬ 
side color is bright yellow; inside, straw yel¬ 
low. Splendid for baking or pies, as the flesh 
is dry and sweet. 
AUTUMN and WINTER SORTS 
DELICIOUS —Produces dark green fruit of 
medium size, weighing 5 to 10 pounds. Flesh 
is fine grained, of superb quality, tasty and a 
good keeper. To many, DELICIOUS is the 
finest flavored of all the winter squashes. 
WARTY HUBBARD —Of the same type as 
the regular Hubbard but the shell is more 
heavily warted and is slightly larger than the 
true Hubbard. Our strain is an improvement 
of the old Warty Hubbard. 
HUBBARD SELECT — Our strain is su¬ 
perior. Fruits are pointed at both ends, be¬ 
ing somewhat warted, large, with dark bronze 
green skin. Flesh is orange-yellow, dry sweet 
and thick. A splendid keeper and of top notch 
quality, weighing 15 pounds. 
GOLDEN or RED HUBBARD — We think 
this strain is more prolific and earlier than 
the regular HUBBARD. Has glossy warted 
orange-yellow skin, which turns to a salmon 
red at maturity. Fruits weigh 10 to 12 pounds, 
and keep well. Canners prefer this sort. Flesh 
is deep golden yellow. Vines often ripen 5 to 
6 of these large fruits. 
TOMATOES 
CULTURE —Are among the most delicious 
of our finest vegetables and can be raised 
successfully from the seed with a little care 
and attention. Sow the seed in the hotbed, 
shallow boxes or flower pots, about six weeks 
before time for transplanting in the garden 
or field. About March is the usual time for 
sowing. In May, set in the open ground about 
3 feet apart each way. Is a good idea to 
stake or trellis the fruit. One ounce will give 
1,500 plants. Use 4 ounces to the acre for 
transplanting. 
ACME —Of the red standard kinds. Acme 
is still a favorite among shippers and home 
growers. Its uniform, smooth, medium sized 
purplish red fruit grows in clusters of 4 or 5, 
is solid, free from cracks and a good shipper. 
Flesh is deep red, fine in texture, and slightly 
acid. 
BONNY BEST —Recommended by the U. 
S. Department of Agriculture as one of the 
best red sorts. Fruits are of bright scarlet 
red of medium size, weighing 5 to 6 ounces 
each, borne in clusters of 5 or 6. Plant 
BONNY BEST to follow EARLIANA. 
JOHN BAER —Merits its high favor be¬ 
cause it is one of the earliest to ripen good 
sized, round, smooth, bright scarlet fruits. 
Canners, shippers, as well as home gardeners, 
prefer this variety. 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL— The largest, 
smoothest and fine flavored, extra early bright 
red tomato. About ten days later than Spark’s 
Earliana. It is even a heavier cropper, with 
tomatoes of larger size and sweeter flavor, 
produced throughout the season. 
DWARF CHAMPION or TREE —Forms a 
small tree, producing many good sized, uni¬ 
form, glossy, purplish red fruits, having solid 
flesh with a meaty center. Is a second early 
or main crop and popular in the west. 
EARLIANA —Has been styled—“First on 
the Market.” Since its introduction, has be¬ 
come one of the most widely favored varieties. 
Is the earliest of all red tomatoes, setting 
forth freely its uniform, fleshy, smooth fruit, 
averaging 3 inches in diameter. 
JUNE PINK—Some call it a Pink Earliana, 
as it is similar in habit to this famous sort. Is 
characterized by its large pink fruit, which 
often weighs 5 to 6 ounces. When pink fruit 
is preferred, this is the choicest selection. 
KANSAS STANDARD —A rapid grower, 
producing glossy, smooth, red fruit in clusters, 
[s excellent keeper and shipper. 
GLOBE — Is of a beautiful globe-shape. 
Among the very first to ripen, although of 
large size, very smooth, firm-fleshed, few 
seeds, ripens evenly; color a beautiful glossy 
rose, tinged purple. Flavor very agreeable; 
splendid slicing variety. A good general crop¬ 
per, and one of the very best for greenhouse 
growing, or first-early crop. 
PONDEROSA (Beefsteak) — The largest 
tomato yet introduced, frequently weighing a 
pound or more. The fruit is crimson-purple
