69-DAY HYBRID SWEET CORN 
*137. GOLD RUSH HYBRID. (69 days.)

Cross Bantam and nearly equal to it in size and 
quality. It has produced from seed to market 
in 66 days. Ears are about 8% inches long, 
12 to 14 rowed, slightly tapered and are 
well filled to the tips with attractive, tender, 
sweet, yellow kernels of fine quality and flavor. 
Stalks grow about 6 ft. tall, and many will produce 
two ears per stalk. We consider this the finest 
hybrid sweet corn grown today. If you are a 
truck gardener we would advise that you switch 
some of your acreage. to this variety. Each 
year our sales of Gold Rush increases and

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

inches to the first ‘

BUSH TYPE ACORN SQUASH 
412, UCONN. (80 days.) This variety 
won an All America Gold Medal award in 1950. 
Developed by Dr. Lawrence ©. 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. Hach 
plant sets from five to eight fruits right around 
the crown. We recommend this to the home 
gardener, Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % lb., 60c; Ib.,

Spanish type variety, fully 10 days earlier than 
the regular Sweet Spanish. The bulbs are glob- 
ular with good tight necks, deep straw colored 
skin, mild white flesh. Produces a heavy yield

Cubit Cucumber. 
CUCUMBER 
162. CUBIT. (60 days.) A 1944 All 
America Winner. The fruits are deep dark green in 
color, cylindrical in shape with rounded ends. 
Average length about 8 inches. A heavy yielding 
white spine variety of excellent quality. Pkt., 
10c; 02., 30c; %4 lb., 80c; lb., $2.30, postpaid. 
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 44%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 fiesh 
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; 0z., 30c; % Ib., 85c;
