675 PENNWONDER PEPPER 
New Early Thick-Meated Type—Very Prolific 
For thick-fleshed fruit and tremendous crops in short season areas, Pennwonder is the best 
early pepper we know. Developed at Penn State College from a cross between our Harris’ 
Earliest and California Wonder, it successfully combines the best features of both. It is 
very early, a little ahead of Harris’ Wonder, and has good size, an attractive blocky or 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.

726 LONE STAR RADISH—Crisp, Mild and Firm 
This attractive new radish is bright red in color, deep olive shaped and of excellent quality. 
The tender, mild-flayored flesh is pure white and stays crisp and firm éven when the roots begin 
to get large. A rapid grower, with fine tap roots and medium short tops, fine for bunching. 
Best adapted for outdoor use, Lone Star is also successful in greenhouses and frames where 
the temperatures are kept fairly cool. Like nearly all radishes it is most delicious when grown 
in rich, loose, well-prepared soil.

775 CASERTA SUMMER SQUASH—AlI! America Gold Medal 
For those who enjoy the delicate flavor of summer squash, Caserta will have many adyan- 
tages. It ripens earlier than any other variety—producing enormous picks when the others are 
only beginning to bear—and it yields tremendously all through the season. Developed by Dr. 
Lawrence C. Curtis this new Cocozelle has a striking coloring, light glossy green, mottled with 
darker spots. Thin-skinned and fresh looking, it has a solid, heavy shape with short thick necks. 
Many of us here have tried them and found the flavor far superior to most summer squash. 
It is well worth a trial for market and perfect for the home garden.

774 BUTTERNUT—A Wonderful Squash 

Caserta 
Extra early and tremendously prolific, 
Its big yields and superior flavor have established this handsome squash as an ideal variety, 
and growers have been quick to appreciate its convenient size, just right for a small family. 
It has an unusual shape with a thick neck that is all solid meat and a thin, light brown skin. 
It is easy to prepare for the table, and for baking and pies the dry sweet yellow flesh is delicious 
’ prey g I y ) V sh is delicious. 
Butternut shows great resistance to the squash vine borers that are so difficult to control in the 
crop, and it is a good keeper, even though it ripens early. We believe there is no better small 
winter squash than Butternut. Pkt. 15e; 44 Oz. 400¢; Oz. 75e; 44 Lb. $2.10; % Lb. $3.20.
