Wade Bean. 
GOLD MEDAL BEAN 
*14. WADE. (63 days.) Received 1952 
Gold Medal All-America award. Named after 
Dr. J. H. Wade of the Charleston, S. C., Re- 
gional Vegetable Breeding Laboratory, who was 
credited with its introduction. It is resistant 
to common bean mosaic and powdery mildew. 
Deep green pods, 5% to 6 inches long, round 
and slender, containing a reddish brown seed. 
Somewhat taller than Tendergreen, which en- 
ables it to hold its pods well up off the ground. 
Pods are very smooth, containing approximately 
one-third as many hairs as the average com- 
mercial variety. It is slow to wilt, losing its 
water content slower than the average variety. 
Ideal for freezing, canning or market. Excep- 
tionally heavy yielder of fine quality snap beans.

OUTSTANDING NEW HYBRID 
SWEET CORN 
*136. 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 
Wisconsin Golden 900, developed at the Uni- 
versity of Wisconsin Agricultural College by 
Associate Professor R. H. Andrew, superior to 
the older strains. 
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; YY Ib., 45c; Ib.,

Wisconsin Golden 900 Hybrid 
Sweet Corn, 
Wisconsin Lakes Pepper. 
BEST EARLY PEPPER 
351. WISCONSIN LAKES. (68 days.) 
The surest setting Pepper of all varieties. De- 
veloped at the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment 
Station by Professor O. B. Combs of the Horti- 
culture 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 medium 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 
Northern areas. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; Y% oz.,

U.S.D.A. It is an early Copenhagen similar in 
color and type to Racine Market but earlier and 
smaller in head and plant size, developed to 
produce small heads for the fresh market, It 
has much of the standing capacity of Racine 
Market which is one of its parents. Its small 
size permits close planting. Plants are dark 
green with small, round, solid heads averaging 
about three pounds. Available in pkts. only be- 
cause of short crop, Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 40c, post-

Butternut Squash, 
WINTER SQUASH 
420. BUTTERNUT. (95 days.) In our 
opinion the ideal home baking squash. 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, Pkt.,

SLICING CUCUMBER 
166. MARKETER. (65 days.) A recently 
developed slicing variety which we think superior 
to all others. It is enormously prolific and pro- 
duces heavy crops even under quite adverse con- 
ditions. It retains its black-green color until the 
fruit begins to soften with age. Fruits are 8 to 
10 inches by 2% inches, uniform, with abrupt 
taper at stem and fairly round at blossom 
end, Flesh solid with small seed cavity; white 
spine. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; 14 lb., 80c; Ib., $2.30,
