Early Kansas Watermelon, 
WATERMELON 
274. EARLY KANSAS. (65 days.) A 
new introduction of outstanding merit. Tt is 
rapidly gaining wide popularity 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.

IMPERIAL No. 45 


MUSKMELON 
236. IMPERIAL NO. 45. (88 days.) An 
excellent powdery mildew resistant mid-season 
variety. Introduced by Dr. Jaggar 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 yariety. 
Fruit is slightly oval with ribs hardly noticeable. 
Flesh is very thick, deep salmon and edible to 
the rind. Seeds are compact in the center and 
do not jar loose with handling. An_ excellent 
shipping variety of the finest quality. PKt., 10c;

WINTER SQUASH 
417. KITCHENETTE. (105 
days.) A small strain of Im- 
proved Hubbard. Size about 9x6 
inches and average weight six 
pounds. It is just the right size 
for the average family. The qual- 
ity is equal to any of the Hub- 
bards. Pkt., 5c; 02:,-15¢; 1% 1b.,

Golden Table Queen Squash, 
WINTER SQUASH 
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.,

Early Baltimore Tomato. 
TOMATO 
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;

YELLOW RESISTANT CABBAGE 
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.

PEA 
321. OLDS’ DROUGHT RESISTER. 
(72 days.) Here is a new pea that does equally 
well in dry hot weather as in wet weather. It 
produces a crop in the driest summer months 
and when other varieties fail. This feature 
makes it fine for late planting. The wilt-resist- 
ant vines grow two feet high and do not require 
support. Pods are round, well filled, with seven 
to ten sweet tender peas. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts.,

Early Prolific Straight Neck Squash. 
SUMMER SQUASH 
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 
Orookneck, but much more prolific. We consider 
this new variety the peak of perfection in sum- 
mer squashes. A 1938 All-America winner. Pkt.,
