Holmes’ Vegetable Seeds of Snecial Merit 

Victory Freezer 
697 GOLDEN CALIFORNIA WONDER 
PEPPER 
(72 days.) This variety is the same maturity as 
California Wonder with size, shape and thickness of 
fruits about the same. When ripe it turns to a real or- 
ange-gold color. It is very prolific under good ‘growing 
conditions. Pkt., 15c; 1% 0z., 45c; 0z., 85c; 14 Ib., $2.50. 
816 BUTTERNUT SQUASH 
(85 days.) The newest and finest variety among small winter 
Squashes. The fruits are of yellowish brown color and bottle-shaped. 
The outer shell is smooth and hard, the flesh is yellow, fihe texture, 
dry and of excellent flavor. There is a very small seed cavity and 
almost the entire fruit is clear, solid, high quality meat. New in- 
troduction and one which is increasing in popularity by leaps and 
bounds. Pkt., 15c; 2 oz., 45c; 0z., 80c; 1/4 Ib., $2.40. 




Butternut Squash 
188 VICTORY FREEZER PEAS 
(New) 212 ft.) 63 days.) Bronze Medal for 1948 
Another of the fine new Peas specially developed for home gar- 
dens and freezing. Victory Freezer is an excellent choice to fill the 
gap between the early and later Peas. Not a large podded type but a 
dependable big yielder, with a quality that is hard to beat. It holds 
its appetizing looking, dark green color well, and its tenderness and 
avor will make it a real treat next winter—a!most as though it had 
come directly from your garden. Even in hot weather, the husky, 
dark green vines bear large crops of delicious Peas. 
The well filled 3-314 in. pods are easy to pick and ripen so unt 
formly that they can nearly all be picked at once; and preparing them 
for freezing is thus an easier job. But fresh or frozen, Victory Freezer 
will be welcome on your dinner table. Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 30c; Ib., 55c; 
2 Ibs., 95c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
187 ONEIDA PEAS (New) 
Dependable Midseason Variety 
(63 days.) Outstanding among the new varieties for market is 
Oneida, with good sized Peas of fancy quality. It ripens several days 
before the large-podded late -kinds and easily outyields them. The 
blunt pods run 4 to 414 in. long and are borne on sturdy vines about 
21% ft. high. The Peas fill the pods tightly and there are no puffy 
pods. Dark green and attractive, Oneida should be a quick success. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 30c; Ib., 55c; 2 Ibs., 95c; 5 Ibs., $2.25. 
PENNWONDER PEPPER 
698 New Early Thick-Meated 
Type—Very Prolific 
(62 days.) A fine new 
early Pepper for short sea- 
son areas, Pennwonder is 
outstanding for thick-flesh- 
ed fruits and tremendous 
crops. It was developed by 
Prof. M. L. Odland of the 
Penn. State College from a 
cross between Harris’ Earli- 
est and California Wonder, 
and it successfully combines 
the best features of both. It 
is very early, and has good 
size, attractive blocky. or 
slightly tapered shape and 
extramathickeewalls.. Dark 
green turning to rich red 
when ripe, the flesh is al 
ways sweet and mild. 
The ability of the sturdy 
dwarf plants to set numer- 
ous fruit under almost any i 
conditions is a most desir- < 
able feature of this remarkable Pepper. If you have had difficulty 
growing good Peppers, try Pennwonder. Pkt., 15c; 44 0z., 45c; 0z., 
85c; 44 Ib., $2.50. 
827 ROYAL ACORN SQUASH 
(60 days.) This variety is an improvement over Table Queen or Acorn. The 
latter very often, under unfavorable conditions and on a rather thin soil, will grow 
too small, whercas the Royal Mammoth will be probably one-third to cne-half 
again as large. The edible portion of the Royal or Mammoth Table Queen is con- 
siderably thicker than the original type. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 1% Ib., 75c; 2 Ib., 
$1.20. , 
866 WISCONSIN 55 TOMATO 
(70 days.) It is considerably earlier than Rutgers and slightly later than 
Stokesdale. Fruits are larger than Rutgers and Stokesdale. Vines are lux- 
uriant, although open, for moderate shading. Pale green fruits, darker at 
stem, ripen uniformly scarlet-red, somewhat flattened. Good color 
and tolerant to early blight, free from cracks. Originated by Prof. 
J. C. Walker, University of Wisconsin. Pkt., 15c; Y oz., 45c; 
oz., 85c; 14 Ib., $2.50. 
869 GOLDEN JUBILEE TOMATO. 
The Best Orange or Yellow Tomato 
(75 days.) Compares in size, smoothness, and fine quality with 
the best of the red varieties. Is much like Rutgers, ripens about 
the same time, and has a beautiful deep round fruit, of a bright 
golden orange color. Interiors solid and meaty. It is free- from 
acidity. Very attractive when sliced. Is entirely different from any 
other yellow kind and is much superior. We recommend it highly. 
Pkt., 150; Y% oz., 55c; 1 oz., $1.00; 1/4 lb., $3.00.
