Deepheart Fringed Endive. 
ENDIVE 
188. DEEPHEART FRINGED. An en- 
tirely new type of Batavian Endive although it 
is not strictly Batavian type, but a cross of a 
type between Batavian and Green Curl. Hearts 
are closely packed with an abundance of fine 
leaves blanching to clear creamy yellow. The 
leaves are much broader than Green Curl, but 
the color is about the same. The leaf margins 
are deeply cut and curled and do not lie flat 
on the ground. Well-grown plants have a di- 
ameter of 10 to 12 inches and a depth of 7 to 
8 inches. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % 1b., 60c; Ib,,

Butternut Sauash. 
Insect Resistant. 
WINTER SQUASH 
420. BUTTERNUT. (95 days.) This new 
variety originated in the New England States 
and in our opinion it is the ideal home baking 
type. Better than Table Queen as an individual 
baker. The 3 to 414-lb. fruits are of an ivory 
white color, 10 to 12 inches long, 4 to 5. inches 
in diameter at the largest point, pear shaped, 
smooth skin and hard. The bright orange flesh 
is very thick and the seed cavity is only in the 
bulbous end so that about 90% of the entire 
fruit is edible. In our trials the past two years 
the squash seemed to be resistant to insects and 
while the squash borers attacked other varieties 
in the trial, they did not damage the Butternut. 
We think this variety should be in every gar- 
den, Pkt., 10c;,0z., 25c; % Ib., 70c; Ib., $2.20,

PLEASE NOTE: This variety should not be 
confused with Buttercup, catalog No. 406, which 
is an excellent late winter squash but turban 
shaped. 

Kitchenette Squash, 


Badger State Egg Plant. 
EGG PLANT 
182. BADGER STATE. (70 days.) Devel- 
oped from a cross, made at the Wis. College of 
Agriculture in 1932, between Black Beauty and 
Black Bountiful. It is quite similar to New 
Hampshire Hybrid, but in our trials it was more 
desirable as it was just as early, more upright 
in growth and more productive. The fruit are 
about 7 inches in length, bright purple, and 
become larger gradually symmetrically toward the 
base. The color is uniform dark purple and they 
contain fewer seeds than either Black Beauty 
or New Hampshire Hybrid. It is the best egg 
plant for northern planting. Pkt., 15c; Y%, oz.,

Danamerica Cauliflower. 
CAULIFLOWER 
92. DANAMERICA,. (90 days.) It heads 
much in the same manner as Super Snowball and 
matures at one time. In fact, plants can be tied 
up one plant after another and the entire crop 
marketed in almost one cutting. The stem is 
stout and strong with leaves that form a heavy, 
compact upright foliage that presses tightly to- 
gether on the stem, It represents the ideal in 
structure of stem and foliage and the kind that 
produces the perfect heads, The heads are espe- 
cially deep, very fine, heavy and snowy white. 
Under proper growing conditions will yield 
practically 100% first grade heads, Pkt., 15c;

Early Baltimore Tomato, 
TOMATO 
445. EARLY BALTIMORE. (73 days.) 
Introduced by the University of Illinois. Early 
Baltimore appears to us as being one of the best 
of the new introductions of Wilt and Rust Re- 
sistant Tomatoes. It is a second-early variety, 
resistant to fusarium 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, Excellent for market gardens and can- 
ning. Appears to be particularly adapted for 
Northwest growing conditions. Pkt., 10c; Y oz.,
