Found some old catalogs
Went to the antique mall last Sunday with the LOML. I found three old catalogs. A 1937 Maule’s, a 1941 Maule’s and for me the most interesting, a 1936 J. Chas. McCullough Seed Co.
The 1936 J. Chas. McCullough Seed Co. catalog is of the most interest because it has an address of 230-232 E. Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. I work at 201 E. Fourth St. There is a parking garage and Wendy’s across the street now. They have a section of “Wilt-Resistant Tomatoes” which include: Pritchard or Scarlet Topper Break O’ Day Marglobe - Wilt-Resistant Norton - Wilt-Resistant These fall into the general tomato category: Beauty Bonny Best Chalk’s Early Jewel Cincinnati Purple Crimson Cushion or Beefsteak Dwarf Champion Earliana Early Detroit Golden Queen John Baer June Pink Oxheart Ponderosa Purple King Stone Trucker’s Favorite Then there are the “Small Fruited Tomatoes”: Red Cherry Red Pear Yellow Pear Yellow Plum They also had plants in season but didn't ship them. If anyone would like the description of any of these let me know.
