New 1941 Vegetable Varieties 

Yankee Hybrid is a true hybrid made by a controlled cross between two pure lines. Every day during the blooming period these girls 
carefully went over our plantings of Yankee Hybrid and removed the pollen carrying blossoms from the seed plants, so they would be 
sure to be cross fertilized by the inbred parent rows. 
Many new vegetable varieties are very limited as to localities in which they do well. For 
this reason, we hesitate to recommend large plantings of varieties that have not proven their 
worth under your special conditions. The following new varieties seem to be valuable additions 
to our vegetable list and we believe they are worthy of a trial by you. 
* YANKEE HYBRID SQUASH: 45 days. (All- 
America winner for 1940 originated by L. C. Curtis 
of the Connecticut Experiment Station.) This is a 
true first generation hybrid made by controlled cross- 
ing of inbreds of Connecticut Straightneck and Early 
Prolific. This cross produces a squash that is dis- 
tinctly earlier than either parent, is more productive 
and more uniform. The vine is bush type. Fruit 
medium yellow, straight and very slightly warted. 
Every Market Gardener knows what it means to 
have squash on the market ahead of his neighbors. 
“Yankee Hybrid” has met with very favorable 
comment wherever it has been seen growing. Seed 
is very limited and we suggest that you send your 
order today. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; 1%4 lb. $1.75; 
Ib. $6.00. 
CARMELCROSS SWEET CORN: 75 days, 220 ker- 
nels per oz. A new cross between Connecticut In- 
bred C. 13 and Purdue 39. Carmelcross produces a 
fairly strong uniform 6 ft. stalk. The ear is rather

rows of broad yellow kernels. The quality is fairly 
good for an early corn. Considerable acreage of MINNESOTA SELECTION 194 EGG PLANT: 60 
Carmelcross was grown last year in the Hudson days. This new egg plant, developed by the Minne- 
Valley and New England. Carmelcross is wilt sota Experiment Station, is not available for general

under most unfavorable weather conditions produced 
a fine crop of fruit in our trial grounds. In fact it 
was the only egg plant that set and developed a full 
crop in spite of a cold wet season. The fruits are 
medium size, dark color and good quality. Pkt. 25 
cts:; 24,0z. 75 cts. 
VICTOR TOMATO: 68 days. (All-America winner 
for 1940.) A very promising early variety origi- 
nated by the Michigan State College of Agriculture. 
Victor produces a small compact vine and may be 
set closer than most varieties. The fruit ripens 
nearly as early as Earliana and completes bearing 
rather early. Victor is much smoother than Ear- 
liana, colors evenly, does not ordinarily crack and 
we believe is worth a trial by the home and market 
gardener. Pkt. 25 cts.; % oz. 30 cts.; % oz. 55 

Victor appears to be the early tomato we have been looking for. It 
is smooth and the fruit all ripens early. cts.; oz. 90 cts.; % Ib. $2.85; Ib. $9.50.
