90 WADE BUSH BEANS 
All-America Gold Medal for 1952. Round Dark Green Pods of Fine Flavor 
Wade is a truly great new variety. Winner of an All-America Gold Medal, it is 
probably the finest round bean yet developed by the U.S.D.A. It is outstanding 
for its sturdy erect vines, and its ideal appearance, beautiful dark color and 
excellent quality. It is resistant to mosaic and powdery mildew. 
Wade is highly prolific under many conditions and the smooth straight pods 
are borne in profusion on upright vines that hold them well off the ground. 
The pods are 51% to 6 in. long, slender but meaty, deep green and fresh-looking. 
They have a rich delightful flavor with a true bean taste and are wonderful for 
canning and freezing. : 
Developed by the late Dr. B. L. Wade, this excellent bean is a main-crop 
all-purpose type with nation-wide adaptation. It ripens several days later than 
Topcrop and is well adapted for market and shipping as well as home garden 
use. If you grow round beans, try Wade in 1952.

541 SALAD BOWL LETTUCE 
Another Gold Medal Winner in All-America Trials (See photo on front cover) 
Here is the perfect home garden lettuce, in our opinion. Easy to grow, pretty to 
look at and delightful to eat, it stays in fine condition practically all summer. 
The curled and wavy leaves form a decorative, compact rosette, somewhat re- 
sembling endive, and produce quantities of tender, delicate, bright green lettuce. 
Extra rich in vitamins A and C, Salad Bowl is both healthful and appetizing. 
Another important U.S.D.A. introduction, Salad Bowl is from Dr. Ross C. 
Thompson of the Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, Md. It is a slow-bolting 
loose-leaf type that may be planted anytime in spring or summer and can be 
picked early or left to stand, even in hot weather. For a unique effect, cut the 
Wade—A real achievement in modern breeding. 
564 GOLDEN DELIGHT MELON 
All-America Bronze Medal 
For home gardens and local markets, Golden 
Delight is a wonderful new orange-fleshed 
melon of top quality. It seems to succeed even 
under adverse conditions and the vigorous 
vines set abundant crops. 
Ripening about in season with Iroquois, this 
fine variety has the oval shape, blue-grey skin 
color and heavy netting of our Market King 
but is earlier and larger and every bit as good 
to eat. The extra deep flesh is bright orange, 
smooth, solid and fine grained, and the taste is 
very sweet with a rich musky melon flavor. 
Well adapted from the Middle West to the 
East Coast, Golden Delight is a welcome addi- 
tion to our list of productive, high quality 
muskmelons. We urge you to try it this year.

749 AMERICA SPINACH 
A.A. Silver Medal Winner 
When the weather gets hot in late spring and 
summer and other spinach bolts to seed, the 
new America proves its worth. Not a quick 
growing spinach, but it remains in fine condi- 
tion for a week or 10 days after the others are 
gone. It is the longest-standing and darkest 
green Bloomsdale type we know. The heavily- 
crumpled, thick leaves are of excellent quality 
and the yields are exceptionally large. It is 
the best kind for home use and outstanding 
for market. 
Very uniform and compact, the plants are 
leafy and heavy, 6-8 inches high and 10-12 
inches across. The rich deep green color and 
thick texture hold up well in handling and it 
is excellent for freezing. An amazing new variety 
that we highly recommend.

679 VINEDALE PEPPER 
Earliest Good Pepper—Bronze Medal 
We think so much of this new extra early 
pepper that we are offering it in place of our 
own Harris’ Earliest, famous for over 30 years. 
Vinedale is even more productive, has larger 
and smoother fruit and ripens practically as 
early. The dwarf bushy vines are literally 
covered with brilliant scarlet fruit of fine 
quality. 
One of the easiest peppers to raise we have 
ever seen, Vinedale is from Dr. O. J. Robb 
of Vineland Station, Ontario, Canada, and will 
be of immense value in all short season areas. 
The peppers are medium-sized, broad with 
tapered or pointed shape, and are remarkably 
thick-fleshed for such an early variety. For an 
abundance of early red peppers, try Vinedale.

Emerson Pascal 
The finest garden celery. 
362 EMERSON PASCAL CELERY 
Rich flavor and blight resistance make Emer- 
son Pascal the finest home garden celery yet 
developed and a real boon to commercial grow- 
ers. Named for the late Dr. R. A. Emerson of 
Cornell, it is a vigorous green pascal type with 
long thick rounded stems of superb quality, 
crisp, brittle, nutty and fine-flavored. The dis- 
tinctively cut leaves will become a mark of 
quality and the growth is similar to the famous 
Summer Pascal. So resistant to blight that it 
needs very little spraying, Emerson Pascal is 
a top-notch celery anyone can grow.
