MUSKMELON | 
245. CRAIG. (90 days.) This is one of 
our specials. Very similar in appearance and 
quality to Pride of Wisconsin, but five days 
to a week earlier. This alone is recommenda- 
tion enough as Pride of Wisconsin is the stan- 
dard for quality but a little too late for Cen- 
tral Wisconsin. The fruits are medium to large 
size, slightly ribbed with coarse netting. Flesh 
is pink and of very highest quality, Our favorite 
melon. They are very popular with our market 
garden customers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % Ihb.,

BUSH TYPE ACORN SQUASH 
412. UCONN. .(80 days.) This variety 
won an All America Gold Medal award in 1950. 
Developed by Dr. Lawrence C. Curtis, who devel- 
oped the Caserta summer squash, It appears to 
be a Table Queen squash with a bush plant rather 
than a vine, which makes it very advantageous 
to a space-conscious home gardener, The fruit, 
however, is not true Table Queen shape, and the 
color is not an over-all dark green. In our trials 
the fruit seemed to be flecked with lighter green 
and also orange spots, and some fruit not fully 
ripened turned orange after being picked. Each 
plant sets from five to eight fruits right around 
the crown. We highly recommend this to the 
home gardener. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; %4 Ilb., 65c;

NEW EXTRA EARLY MUSKMELON 
238. GRANITE STATE. (85 days.) A 
new melon released by the New Hampshire Agri- 
cultural College at Durham, New Hampshire, 
which should become popular with northern gar- 
deners. In size and shape it resembles the Honey 
Rock although it has a definite point at the blos- 
som end, which is an advantage over the Honey 
Rock, as it is much stronger, Flesh is deep salmon 
and of excellent quality, with unusually high 
Sugar content. Seed cavity is triangular. Plants 
are very prolific, setting an unusual number of 
fruit per Square yard. As this variety might not 
do well under all growing conditions we suggest 
that gardeners purchase some seed this year and 
give it a trial. Pkt., 20c; 0z., 35c; 14 Ib., $1.00; 
Ib., $3.00, postpaid.

Butternut Squash. 
WINTER SQUASH 
420. BUTTERNUT. (95 _ days.) This 
variety originated in the New England States 
and in our opinion it is the ideal home baking 
type. Better than Table Queen as an individual 
baker. The 3 to 4%-lb. fruits are of an ivory 
white color, 10 to 12 inches long, 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter at the largest point, pear shaped, 
smooth skin and hard, The bright orange flesh 
is very thick and the seed cavity is only in the 
bulbous end so that about 90% of the entire 
fruit is edible. We think this variety should be 
in every garden. Pkt., 10c; 02z., 25c; 1% lb., 75c; 
Ib., $2.25, postpaid.

GOLDEN PEPPER 
358. GOLDEN CALIFORNIA WON- 
DER. (72 days after setting plants.) This 
golden variety has all the grand qualities that 
have made the Red California Wonder so popular. 
The large green fruits have the same thick and 
solid flesh walls, they have the same fine flavor— 
sweet, mild, and free from all unpleasant pun- 
gency, but at maturity they turn a rich golden 
yellow. The flesh of the ripened fruit is just as 
sweet and tender as it is in the green state. 
Slices of the ripe fruit with their delightful 
golden yellow color make an attractive addition 
to the salad bowl. The plants are thrifty, up- 
right growth, and heavy producers over a long 
season. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; % oz., 50c; 
1 0z., 90c; 14 lb., $2.75, postpaid,
