New Shell Bean “FLASH” 
Prof. J. R. Hepler, University of New Hampshire 
The result of a cross between the well 
known Horticultural Bean and a local 
New Hampshire red seeded bean. The 
pods mature early and are brilliantly 
striped with red making a most attrac- 
tive shell bean. The dry beans are very 
large and almost completely red. This 
is distinctly a bush bean, the tendency to 
twine has been bred out making it easier 
to care for especially in the home garden. 
New Shell Bean “BRILLIANT” 
Prof. Hepler 
This bean is identical with “FLASH” 
in every respect except that it is a twin- 
ing bean and comes to bearing a little 
later thus extending the shell bean sea- 
son. 
DARK RED KIDNEY BEAN 
We have grown this bean for several 
years. It is a compact bush bean bear- 
ing tremendous crops which ripen early 
in the season. The very dark red dry 
beans, much darker than the ordinary 
Kidney Bean, retain their color when 
baked. 
Egg Plant “NEW HAMPSHIRE 
HYBRID” 
An early high yielding egg plant. The 
result of a cross between “Black Beauty” 
and “Early Dwarf Purple.” It retains 
only the good features of its parents and 
will set fruit even in cool weather. 
New Sweet Pepper “MERRIMAC 
WONDER” 
Prof. Hepler 
The result of crosses on the popular 
“California Wonder.” <A very early and 
prolific variety. Its thick walled fruits 
are very sweet in flavor. It will set fruit 
in cool weather when other varieties fail. 
Colored Popcorn (Not named) 
Prof. Hepler 
A cross between “Japanese Hull-less” 
and “Pinkie.” Bred for high yield, earli- 
ness, good popability and decorativeness. 
This is not yet ready for distribution. 
New Tomato “EARLY CHATHAM” 
Dr. Albert F. Yeager, University of N. H. 
The earliest good-sized tomato. 
Smooth, solid fruit which will ripen in 
most of New England from field grown 
seed. Plants are small and should be 
spaced one foot apart in the row. 

New Tomato “ORANGE KING” 
Dr. Yeager 
A heavy bearing early tomato of a 
bright orange color throughout. The 
large fruits are solid but tender and con- 
tain few seeds. Much superior to yellow 
varieties and retains its beautiful orange 
color when canned or made into juice, 
attractive in salads. Said to contain more 
vitamins than other varieties. 
New Tomato “NEW HAMPSHIRE 
VICTOR” 
Dr. Yeager 
An early variety with large fruits 
which ripen evenly, are smooth and do 
not crack. The bright red color is at- 
tractive. The flesh is also red and excel- 
lent quality. It produces a heavy crop 
on a small plant. At the University of 
New Hampshire it is superior to the reg- 
ular “Victor” which it resembles. 
New Watermelon “WHITE MOUNTAIN” 
Dr. Yeager 
A very early maturing watermelon. 
Under favorable conditions will ripen in 
65 days from seed sown out of doors. 
Has sweet red flesh, brown seed, thin rind 
and is right size to fit the refrigerator. 
Serve one-half melon per person. 
Watermelon “SWEET JAPANESE” 
An early melon of medium size and 
rounded shape. The quality is good and 
is easily grown. 
Squash “BUTTERCUP” 
Dr. Yeager 
A family sized squash of superior qual- 
ity thick meated and heavy. Dark green 
in color and of the turban type. When 
cooked resembles sweet potato. Ready 
for use early and stores well. 
“FELLEMBURG PLUM” 
A fine freestone preserving prune. The 
flesh is solid and rich in flavor. The 
tree is very hardy and the buds are frost 
resistant. The most dependable large 
plum for northern planting. 
“DAMSON PLUM” 
These small plums are of the highest 
quality for preserving. The tree is very 
hardy and productive and the fruits are 
unusually free from damage by the cur- 
culio. 
New Korean Cherries 
These delicious fruits grow on a bush 
three feet high. They are perfectly 
hardy in New Hampshire. Can also be 
used as an ornamental shrub. At the 
University of New Hampshire plants set 
four years ago have produced three crops 
of fruit.
