Olds’ Lawn 
Crass Mixtures 
(Sow four pounds to 1,000 square feet) 
Good seed is the first requisite for a beautiful lawn. Regardless of the 
effort and money spent on a lawn, cheap seed will produce an inferior turf. 
Olds’ Lawn Grass Seed has won a reputation for producing exceptionally 
fine lawns and is widely used by critical landscape gardeners. All our 
mixtures are made of high-quality, recleaned heavy seed that is free from 
chaff, and none of our mixtures contain hay seed such as timothy or cheap 
seeds.

TWO NEW WISCONSIN HYBRID 
SWEET CORNS 
136. WISCONSIN GOLDEN NO. 800. 
(75 days.) A new exceptionally high quality 
second early hybrid sweet corn released in 1948 
by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. 
We have been growing this variety in trials for 
several years prior to its release, and for quality 
we consider it absolutely tops. The slender 
uniform ears containing eight rows of tender, 
sweet flavored kernels are very uniform, averag- 
ing from seven to eight inches in length. Fine 
for canning, and excellent for freezing on the 
cob as the cob is small. A fine companion variety 
to plant with Gold Rush Hybrid, which is about 
a week earlier. PkKt., 15c; 4% 1b., 50c; Ib., 85c; 
2 Ibs., $1.60; 5 lbs., $3.40, postpaid. 
144, WISCONSIN GOLDEN 804. (76 
days.) In season and in quality it is practically 
the same as Wisconsin Golden 800. This was 
developed by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station in response to a demand from 
canners and truck gardeners for a 12*row type 
of Wisconsin 800 corn. Pkt., 15c; 1% Ib., 50c; 
Ib., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.60; 5 Ibs., $4.10, postpaid.

LETTUCE 
221. OLDS’ OAKLEAF. (45 days.) 
A lettuce we introduced in 1917 and is today 
the best loose leaf lettuce for the home gar- 
den. Olds’ Oakleaf Lettuce is a distinct 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 
recommendation is that it does not get bitter 
with age. It is the one variety that is excel- 
lent late in the summer when other varieties 
are of poor quality. Pkt., 10; oz., 30c; % 
Ib., 90c; lb., $2.60, postpaid. 

Olds Oakleaf Lettuce 
TOMATO 
453. WISCONSIN 55. (75 days.) A 
tomato developed by Prof. J. O. Walker and 
his associates at the Wisconsin Experiment 
Station. Fruits are very large, smooth, slight- 
ly 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. Pkt., 10c; Y% oz., 45c; 
0z., 85c; % lb., $2.60, postpaid,
