Pride of Wisconsin Muskmelon, 
MUSKMELON 
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 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. .Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c;

HYBRID SWEET CORN

143. MIXED HYBRIDS. As Hybrid 
Sweet Corn matures all at one time, we have 
mixed three strains together so as to give a 
longer picking season which is desired by the 
home gardener. By planting this mixture, you 
will have the finest quality Sweet Corn through- 
out the Sweet Corn season. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts.,

11. PLENTIFUL. (50 days.) Designed 
for the shipping trade to fulfill the same pur- 
poses as Bountiful. It is true to its name in 
productiveness bearing medium dark green pods 
7 inches or more in length, straight and some- 
what larger than Bountiful. Entirely stringless 
at all stages of growth and is of the highest 
quality. It is probably the best of the flat pod- 
ded green snap Beans. Vine is 16 to 18 inches 
tall, medium green, erect, vigorous, and compact.

EGG PLANT 
182. NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID. 
A new hybrid egg plant with medium dwarf 
growth, extra early maturity and unusually pro- 
lific. In our opinion it is the finest variety to 
grow in the North, due to its extreme earliness 
and its yielding ability. Fruits are medium 
sized, deep purple, and well shaped. Pkt., 10c;

Bansei Edible Soy. Bean. 
EDIBLE SOY BEAN 
9. BANSEI. (90 days.) In recent years 
many varieties of edible Soy Beans have been 
imported from the Orient by the Department of 
Agriculture, and detailed study on their adaption 
and also market and growing conditions have 
been made. Ag a result of these tests, several 
promising varieties have been obtained. and the 
one which seems the most suitable for the north 
is Bansei. Bansei has a plant that is_ erect 
and of medium height, very prolific, well adapted 
to a short growing season. The beans when ripe 
are glossy yellow, elliptical of mild and pleasing 
flavor. All Soy Beans of the edible variety are 
green when in the growing condition. They are 
highly resistant to disease and insect pests. 
Eating qualities are excellent when cooked to 
serve similar to Lima Beans. Roasted Soy Beans 
are very good and these are prepared by soaking 
the dried beans overnight, boil for one hour 
in salted water. Spread in shallow pan and 
roast in moderate oven, 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 
until brown. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

Deepheart Fringed Endive. 
ENDIVE 
188. DEEPHEART FRINGED. An en- 
tirely new type of Batavian Endive although it 
is not strictly Batavian type, but a cross of a 
type between Batavian and Green Curl. Hearts 
are closely packed with an abundance of fine 
leaves blanching to clear creamy yellow. The 
leaves are much broader than Green Curl, but 
the color is about the same. The leaf margins 
are deeply cut and curled and do not lie flat 
on the ground. The upper leaves turn upward 
making it ‘ess susceptible to bottom rot than 
most varieties. Well-grown plants have a di- 
ameter of 10 to 12 inches and a depth of 7 to 
8 inches. Pkt. 20cs oz.) 20ce 220 1b.,, 55cs Ib.,

365. DICKINSEN. (100 days.) This, in 
our estimation, is the finest pumpkin grown to- 
day. It was introduced several years ago by 
the Purdue University at the request of one of 
the country’s largest canners. It will produce as 
high as 25 tons per acre. The pumpkin is a 
deep clear gold color throughout the flesh. It is 
so uniform in color that canners do not peel it, 
but only wash and place into the pulverizer 
where they are canned immediately. They pack 
out the deepest gold color one could imagine. 
It has three outstanding characteristics: It is 
so sweet that it requires no sugar nor starch in 
canning. Second, the color is ideal and re- 
quires no coloring, and third, it is an exception- 
ally heavy yielder. We might add that this 
variety seems to be more or less resistant to in-
