“VICTORY GARDENS FOR HOME FOOD PRODUCTION” 
The year 1943 must be made far more productive to feed our armed forces, our Allies, and to conserve the 
health of our civilian population. Victory gardens for home food production and home preservation will 
supplement the shortages created by lack of farm labor, transportation problems, and make important foods 
HALLAWELL'S SPECIALTY VEGETABLES 
CORN 
Golden Cross Bantam—This is a hybrid corn of high 
quality for roasting ears. It is produced only from crossed 
seed obtained by controlled cross-pollination of two in- 
bred lines. The yield and quality of this corn has been 
proved highly satisfactory and we think it is worthy of 
special mention in our Specialty Pages. 
Hallawell’s Idaho Grown Seed. (Pkt. 15c) (VY Ib. 40c) 
(Ib. 70c) 
CUCUMBER 
Hallawell’s Slicer—In every respect this is one of the 
most desirable slicing cucumbers. It is good size, excellent 
color and very prolific. For home garden or for market 
we believe it is the best on the market. (Pkt. 15c) 
(Y% oz. 40c) (0z. 75c) 
LETTUCE 
Hallawell’s 847 (new strain Los Angeles)—This is a 
heat resistant strain and it will head very well even under 
unfavorable conditions. It should be remembered, how- 
ever, that lettuce is a cool weather crop if best results are 
to be obtained. The summer climate in San Francisco 
is excellent for the production of good head lettuce and

MUSKMELON 
Salmon Cranshaw — Everyone who tastes this melon 
pronounces it “tops” in flavor; it is deliciously sweet. 
Melons are oblong and weigh from 5 to 7 pounds. They 
have a very small seed cavity and a luscious smooth, 
melting texture. It is a fine home garden or local market 
melon. (Pkt. 15c) (% oz. 40c) (oz. 75c) 
ONION 
Torpedo (Long Red)—A sweet, mild onion, ideal for 
salads, slicing and for garnish. Is long oval-shaped, 
purplish red. One of our most popular home garden 
varieties but planted also by Market Gardeners for local 
market. For mature onions sow seeds in beds and trans- 
plant to rows. For mild green onions sow thick in the 
open ground. (Pkt. 15c) (% oz. 60c) (oz. $1.00) 
SQUASH 
Improved Gray Zucchini—This is the most prolific 
squash of any of the Marrows. It is smaller, perhaps that 
is the reason, but at any rate, it produces in great num- 
ber and early, too. Planted in warm weather it will bear 
edible size squash in 6 to 7 weeks, and if kept picked 
will continue indefinitely. (Pkt. 10c) (0z. 60c) 
TOMATO 
Hallawell’s Improved Pearson—This tomato is destined 
to become one of the most popular shipping and canning 
varieties. Reports from many sources this year induced 
us to list it among the very worth while specialities in our 
Specialty Pages. The fruit is scarlet, globe shaped, slightly 
flattened, and of medium size. We recommend it for 
the home garden as well. (Pkt. 15c) (Y% oz. 50c)
