Orange Marrow Pumpkin
The New Enormous Yielding Pumpkin
Which won a Grand Prize at the P. P. I. E.
Orange Marrow Pumpkin.
While I hesitate to offer a new variety of vegetable to the public until thoroughly tested as to
its merits, I feel sure that the following description by the introducer is authentic, and
the pumpkin the finest that has been placed
on the market in years. The yield has been
given at from 20 to 40 tons per acre. It is
an immense cropper not only in weight but
also the number of fruits, many of which are
two feet across and weigh 150 pounds each.
Orange Marrow Pumpkin is a very large,
round, flat pumpkin, brilliant vermilion orange
in color. The flesh is extremely thick and
solid, deep orange and of the finest quality.
Do not hesitate to plant this variety if you
want pumpkins for your table or market. I
have a limited amount of seed to offer. Your
order placed now will receive prompt attention.
Pkt., 15c; oz., 35c; y lb., 80c; lb., $2.50.
The Famous Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion
While this onion has been on the market
for the past two seasons, I have waited until
its merits had been established before offering
it to the public. The unusual mildness and excellent flavor has made this variety remarkably popular, and the demand for it is large
in the vegetable markets all over the United
States. It is a good keeper, large, thin straw-
colored skin, and so mild that it can be eaten
like an apple.   This onion commands the high
est price in the market and should be planted
about the first of February, and will mature in
August. It was introduced from Spain four
vears ago, and is the mildest Spanish onion
known. Seed is scarce, but it will be profitable
to the grower who plants this variety. Pkt.,
15c; oz., 60c; yA lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00.
Plant Strawberries. See description of the
New Carolina strawberry on page 62. The
Carolina is the strawberry for California.
The war has taught us many lessons and
opened up many new resources. For years it
was considered necessary to import all our
cauliflower seed from Eqrope, but it has now
been demonstrated that the best cauliflower
seed for Southern California is grown right
here at home. Indeed, it is now a fact that
about 90% of the cauliflower grown here for
market is produced from California grown
seed. In view of this fact, I have made arrangements with one of the best growers in
Southern California to save seed for me. This
seed is carefully selected from only the very
best heads and can be relied upon to produce
the best results.
CALIFORNIA EARLY GIANT. Large solid
heads, the best for early market. Pkt., 10c;
y oz., 60c; oz., $2.00; y lb., $6.00; lb., $20.00.
CALIFORNIA  SECOND  EARLY   GIANT.
Larger than the preceding, for main crop.
Solid heads and well protected by foliage.
Pkt., 10c; J4 oz., 60c; oz., $2.00; y. lb., $6.00;
lb., $20.00.
CALIFORNIA LATE GIANT. Very large,
for late market use. Pkt., 10c; y oz., 60c,
