Wisconsin Golden 900 Hybrid Sweet Corn, 
OUTSTANDING NEW HYBRID 
SWEET CORN 
WISCONSIN GOLDEN 900. 
(79 days.) We consider the Wisconsin Golden 
Hybrid strains of sweet corn superior in quality 
to all others on the market today and this new 
*136. 
Wisconsin Golden 900, developed at the Uni- 
versity of Wisconsin Agricultural College by 
Associate Professor R. H. Andrew, superior to 
the older strains of Wisconsin 800 and 804. 
This new hybrid usually produces two beau- 
tiful, long 12 row golden ears to the stalk. They 
are placed medium high enabling easy picking. 
Furthermore, the plant produces very few till- 
ers. Plants average 5 to 6 feet in height and 
a high number of narrow husks to each ear 
insure good coverage and easy husking. Ready 
for picking 4 to 5 days ahead of Golden Cross 
Bantam. It is an outstanding all purpose sweet 
corn for the home garden, the truck garden, 
canning or quick freezing on the cob. We un- 
hesitantly recommend Wisconsin Golden 900 
Hybrid as the sweetest and best quality sweet 
corn grown today. Pkt., 15c; 4% Ilb., 45c; Ib.,

the ideal pickle to grow where spot rot is a 
major problem. Very prolific with good plant 
vigor. - Fruit 5% to 6% by 2% inches with 
minimum of black spines. Developed by crossing

Wisconsin Lakes Pepper. 
NEW PEPPER 
351. WISCONSIN LAKES. (68 days.) 
For a good many years we have been admiring 
this new pepper in the trials at the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Experiment station here at Madi- 
son, and anxiously awaited the day that seed 
would be released so that we could offer it to 
our customers. 
This'new pepper was developed at the Wiscon- 
sin Agricultural Experiment Station by Professor 
O. B. Combs of the Horticulture Department 
from a plant selection taken from a planting 
of Asgrow King. The plants are 18 to 21 inches 
tall, compact, well branched with ample leg 
coverage to prevent sun scald. Leaves are medi- 
um to small and dark green, ripening to a 
brilliant scarlet. It is not an easy variety to 
pick as stems hold fast to the fruit. Will reach 
green harvest stage about one week ahead of 
California Wonder. On heavy loams at Madison 
and sandy soils at the Hancock Experiment 
Station in Central Wisconsin, it consistently 
outyielded California Wonder. We predict that 
this new pepper which has appearance, quality, 
uniformity and high yielding ability will become 
a leading home and commercial variety in the 
Northérn areas. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c; 1%, o2.,
