Wisconsin 55 Tomato. 
TOMATO 
453. WISCONSIN 55. (75 days.) A new 
tomato developed by the Wisconsin Experiment 
Station. Fruits are very large, smooth, slightly 
oblong, ripening a deep scarlet red color and 
very fleshy. Fruits average 65% larger than 
Stokesdale or John Baer and are more free of 
growth cracks. Vine growth is large, quite open 
and bears profusely until frost. While it is not 
fusarium wilt resistant, it is more tolerant to 
_ defoliation leaf blight than John Baer and shows 
considerable resistance to blossom end rot. In 
our opinion it is the best main crop tomato 
offered today. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; Y% oz, 
90c; oz., $1.60; % Ib., $4.50, postpaid. 
PEA

NIAN.* (63 days.) This variety won an All-

- Wilt Resistant World Record. Similar to Thomas 
Laxton, but somewhat more hardy, more pro- 
ductive, and resistant to fusarium wilt. Thomas 
Laxton is the No. 1 freezing variety among 
gardeners and packers, and this new wilt re- 
sistant variety should be eyen more popular 
for this purpose. Vines are about 30 inches in 
Jength producing dark green bun pods about 
84% inches long. Pkt., 10c; Y% Ib., 35c; Ib.,

Olds’ Oakleaf Lettuce. 
LETTUCE 
221. OLDS’ OAKLEAF. (45 days.) This 
is not a new lettuce, but one we introduced in 
1917 and it is today the best loose leaf lettuce 
for the home garden. Olds’ Oakleaf Lettuce is a 
distinet type. It forms a close center with rather 
loose outer leaves; medium sized and medium 
green. The leaves are deeply lobed in the middle 
and the middle lobe is long like a finger, giving 
the plant a peculiar appearance. The quality is 
excellent, but its most important recommenda- 
tion is that it does not get bitter with age. It 
is the one variety that is excellent late in_the 
summer when other varieties are bitter. Pkt.,
