New Early Thick-Meated Type—Very Prolific 
A fine new early pepper for short season areas, Pennwonder is outstanding for thick-fleshed 
fruits and tremendous crops. It was developed by Prof. M. L. Odland of the Pennsylvania 
State College from a cross between our Harris’ Earliest and California Wonder, and it success- 
fully combines the best features of both. It is very early, a little ahead of Harris’ Wonder, and 
has good size, attractive blocky or slightly tapered shape and extra-thick walls. Dark green 
turning to rich red when ripe, the flesh is always sweet and mild. 
The ability of the sturdy dwarf plants to set numerous fruit under almost any conditions is a 
most desirable feature of this remarkable pepper. If you have had difficulty growing good 
peppers, try Pennwonder. Pkt. 20c: 44 Oz. 50c: Oz. 95c; 14 Lh. $3.00. y 
860 GEM TOMATO —hew Early Type—Large Handsome Fruit 
Developed at the New York State Experiment Station at Geneva by Prof. W. T. Tapley, 
Gem is a very promising early tomato. It ripens almost in season with Valiant and on our farm 
it has proved very productive with uniform smooth round fruit of fine quality. It colors evenly 
from pale green to a clear bright red and the interior is meaty and delicious. 
The plants are dwarf and compact, permitting close planting and making them easier to spray. 
The fruit ripen in large clusters and are the easiest to pick of any variety we have grown. For 
home use, early market or canning we suggest you try Gem. N. Y. State Certified Seed.

868 LONGRED TOMATO 
Not a Long Tomato but a Good New Round One 
Despile its name, this is a smooth, almost perfectly round tomato and 
it is called Longred because it bears deep red fruit for a long period, from 
midseason until the vines are killed by frost. A desirable new main crop 
type for home gardeners as well as market growers and canners, it is 
another introduction from Prof. Tapley at the Geneya Experiment 
Station. 
We found it remarkable for its uniform, good-sized fruit, and its rich 
red color both inside and out. The flesh is firm and solid, with a delight- 
fully mild sweet flavor. Exceptionally heavy crops are produced because 
the fruit sets very freely on the vigorous vines. See photo on page 37.

810 QUALITY SQUASH—Fine Grained and Sweet 
A fayorite of ours for many years, this winter squash has the finest 
quality of all the kinds we grow or sell. The outside skin is dark green, 
thin and hard, protecting the thick, orange-colored flesh, which is sweeter 
and finer flavored than any other kind and cooks as dry as a good sweet 
polalo. Fine textured and without stringiness, the fruit is medium size 
(5-10 lbs.) convenient for family use. The vines are strong and healthy 
In our opinion, Rutgers is far and away the best tomato for all purposes. 
It has so many fine features that it has now become the most popular and 
widely grown variety in the country. The vines are large, vigorous and 
sturdy and the crops are abundant. The fruit is extra large, solid and 
meaty, and colors beautifully all over to a deep rich red. The flavor is the 
best of any and it is excellent for home preserving. It starts to bear a 
litle later than John Baer or Bonny Best and will produce big yields 
right up Ull frost.
