Found some old catalogs

JerryL · August 13, 2010

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.
