Bounty Tomato 
TOMATO 
452. BOUNTY. (65 days after setting 
plants.) The past few years several varieties 
of early determinate vine or self-topping toma- 
toes have been introduced and Bounty, in our 
opinion, is the finest. In the home Defense 
Garden this variety will prove very popular as 
it is early, an exceptionally heavy yielder, and 
will produce the finest quality tomatoes on plants 
spaced as close as three feet apart. Bounty 
was developed at the North Dakota Agricultural 
Experiment Station from a cross between the 
All Red variety, a station introduction in 1937, 
and Break O’Day. Bounty combines the early 
ripening, self pruning, and uniform color ad- 
vantages of the All Red with the good shape 
and quality of fruit of Break O’Day. For the 
home garden in the north this variety leads

WATERMELON 
264. LEESBURG. (85 days.) A new 
wilt-resistant variety developed from Kleckley 
Sweet by Dr. M. N. Walker of the Florida Ex- 
periment Station. Some consider it a little 
earlier and of better quality than the Kleckley 
Sweet Wilt-Resistant No. 6. Fruits average about 
thirty pounds in weight, not quite as long as 
Kleckley’s and with blockier ends. Rind is a 
shade lighter in color and much tougher. Flesh 
deep rose-pink, extremely sweet and of fine 
flavor, Seeds white. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; YY, Wb.,

Cosberg (600) Lettuce 
LETTUCE 
229. COSBERG. (No. 600.) (70 days.) 
Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture as a cross between Paris White Cos and 
Iceberg. The strain No. 600 received_an All- 
America award in the 1942 contest. Probably 
the most surest heading lettuce to be found for 
growing in the north, and we emphatically rec- 
ommend it for the home gardener. It will head 
in summer weather and resist tip burn. Heads 
are small, compact, and outer leaves ave light, 
yellowish green, crumpled and frilled. Pkt., 15c;

182. NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID. 
A new hybrid egg plant with medium dwart 
growth, extra early maturity and unusually pro- 
lific. In our opinion it is the finest home 
garden variety to grow in the North, due to its 
Giant Pascal. Plants sturdy, 
extreme earliness and its yielding ability, 
Fruits are medium sized, deep purple, and well 
shaped. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 35¢c; 0z., 60c; %

melons In fact i ws ‘tops’ with us. he 
handsome fruits measure about seven by six 
inches and weigh about four pounds. The rind 
is very hard of a pearly gray color, faintly rib- 
bed and heavily covered with a distinctive net- 
ting. The pink flesh is unusually pink with ex- 
cellent flavor. The triangular seed cayity 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; 0z., 20c;
