Golden Delight Muskmelon, 
MUSKMELON

In appearance it somewhat resembles the Bend- 
er’s Surprise. Fruits are elongated 4 to 5 bya 
to 7 inches. The flesh is thick orange or salmon 
and very firm. Under adverse growing conditions 
it Seems to stand up better than other varieties 
of its type. Fine flavor and of excellent quality. 
Skin is slate gray but matures a fairly deep 
yellow. Ribs are wide and shallow with open 
netting, tapering somewhat at the blossom end. 
A very desirable home and market melon.

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% 
fruit is edible. We think this variety should be 
in every garden. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 4% lb., 85c;

64-DAY HYBRID SWEET CORN 
135. IMPROVED SPANCROSS. (64 
days.) (Pedigree C13 by C3.) Formerly called 
Priscilla. One of the parents of our Priscilla 
Hybrid known as O05 has been changed to C3. 
The only difference we can see is a slightly 
lighter color foliage. 
The stalks are stocky, averaging about 41% 
feet in height. Ears appear about 10 to 12 inch- 
es above the ground. They are medium size, 
averaging about 7 to 7% inches in length and 
are mostly 12 rows of a light yellow color. The 
quality is excellent for such an early corn. It 
seems to be somewhat resistant to wilt and 
cold weather, Not equal in quality to Gold Rush 
Hybrid, but will average several days earlier.

Bonanza Cabbage. 
CABBAGE 
71. BONANZA. (86 days.) A new out- 
standing shipping and market variety. The head 
is round, very firm, and uniform. Has the short- 
est core of any cabbage we have seen. Average 
6% inches in diameter and 4 pounds in weight. 
It forms a small firm head early in the season 
and continues to grow to maximum size. This 
makes it ideal for early harvest when the market 
is high, or it can be held in the field for a con- 
siderable time after maturity. It will stand ship- 
ping to distant markets. One enthusiastic gar- 
dener remarked that BONANZA was well named 
for it was worth its weight in gold. We highly 
recommend it. Pkt., 20c; 4% oz., 60c; oz., $1.10;
