WINTER SQUASH 
406. BUTTERCUP. Buttercup is a new 
winter squash developed by Prof. A. F. Yeager, 
horticulturist, while at the North Dakota Agricul- 
tural College. It is entirely distinct in type, a 
turban shape, with thin skin and thick orange 
fiesh at the stem end. The seed cavity is at the 
bottom covered with a very thin layer of flesh. 
Weighs from 8 to 4 pounds, just the right size 
for the average family. Has less waste than any 
other squash, Quality the very best, better even 
than Hubbard. We receive many favorable com- 
ments each year on this new squash. Pkt., 10c;

Dixie Queen Watermelon. 
WATERMELON 
265. DIXIE QUEEN. (85 days.) A me- 
dium-sized melon averaging about 82 pounds but 
often weighing as high as 50 pounds. Average 
size about 15x12% inches. It is early and be- 
cause of its tough rind is fine for shipping. The 
color is light green alternately striped with dark 
green. It has a thin, tough rind and is very 
desirable for the home garden because of its 
exceedingly fine quality. The flesh is dark pink 
with few black and white seeds. Pkt., 5c; 02.,

Baby Potato Lima. 
BABY LIMA BEAN 
*29. BABY POTATO LIMA. A prolific 
bush lima bean originated as a field cross be- 
tween Henderson’s Bush Lima and one of the 
Potato Lima types. In vine character and gen- 
eral appearance of pods is similar to Hender- 
son's Bush and can be handled by the same 
cultural methods. The seeds are small but thick, 
of bright green color when fresh, and similar 
in flavor to Fordhook. A thriftier and more 
robust plant than Henderson’s Bush, averaging 
3.3 seeds per pod in trials. Admirably adapted 
not only for produce markets but also for can- 
ning and quick freezing. Originally selected by 
: Prof. W. A. Huelsen, University of Illinois. A 
silver medal winner in last year’s All-America 
ontest receiving the most points of any entry.

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., 
5e; oz., 15c; % Ib., 35c; Ib., $1.10, postpaid. 
TOMATO 
450. RUTGER’S. (72 days.) A new 
second-early variety developed by the New Jer- 
sey Agricultural Experiment Station and intro- 
duced a few years ago. It is a cross between 
Marglobe and J. T. D. and is very desirable for 
market as well as for canning. The plant is 
large with thick stems and vigorous foliage. The 
fruits are similar to Marglobe but flat at the 
stem end. Bright red, smooth, with thick walls 
and small seed cells, very firm and of low 
acidity. We consider it one of the best varieties 
for juice and it is one of the few varieties that 
ripens from the center out. Pkt., 10c; % oz.,

Early Baltimore Tomato. 
TOMATO 
EARLY BALTIMORE. 
445. (73 days.) 
We have been watching with interest some of 
the new yarieties of tomatoes being introduced 
by the various agricultural stations. Early Balti- 
more appears to us as being one of the best of 
the new second early introductions. It is a sec- 
ond-early variety, 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 
growing conditions especially during hot and dry 
weather. We predict that this variety will be- 
come very popular in the Northwest. Pkt., 10¢; 
Y% oz., 25c; oz. 40c; Y% Ib., $1.20, postpaid. 
WHITE HYBRID 
SWEET CORN 
136. PONTIAC HYBRID. (93 days.) 
We recommend Pontiac as being an excellent, 
medium late white Hybrid. It is high yielding, 
well adapted to our growing conditions, The 
creamy-white ears average about 7% inches in 
length and about two inches in diameter. Well 
filled with 16 to 20 straight rows of very white 
narrow kernels of good depth. Stalks are strong, 
standing up well under all conditions, and meas- 
ure a height of about 8% feet. Best white for 
canning cream style. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Y%

INDOOR SEED STARTER SET 
Starting sturdier, healthier seedlings indoors 
neatly and safely. Get an early start for early 
bloom, and eliminate leakage and mess found 
in ‘‘cigar-box’’ flats. Sub-irrigation gives posi- 
tive watering control, prevents washing out tiny 
seedlings. Printed chart on each tray insures 
correct planting depth. See page 71. 
274. EARLY KANSAS. (85 days.) A 
new introduction of outstanding merit. It 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 ig 
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,
