DELICIOUS SQUASH. 



268. The Delicious Squash.— The name tells how good it is. This 

 New Winter Squash is exceptionally fine. It is oval in form, thickestat 

 the blossom end; skin dark grayish green, deepening to bronzy green 

 "when ripened. l,arge size weighing from 5 to 10 lbs. In thickness of 

 flesh it surpasses nearly every variety, the color of the flesh being a deep 

 orange. For table use, no Squash compares with it in its remarkable 

 combination of fineness and compactness of grain, dryness, sweetness, 

 and exceeding richness of flavor. Packet 5c. Oz. 10c. 2 Ozs. 15c.

270. The New Red, or Golden Hubbard.— A long-looked-for and most 

 excellent new Squash. _ A sport from that old standard of excellence, the Hub- 

 bard; a perfect type of its parent, except in color, which is a bright, orange- 

 red, exceedingly showy and attractive. Flesh much richer in color than Hub- 

 bard, fine-grained, cooks_ very dry, of excellent flavor. Its keeping qualities 

 are fully equal to, while in productiveness it far excels the old variety. These, 

 with its sweet, rich flavor, attractive color and shape, are bound to make it one 

 of the most profitable to grow. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c. 2 Ozs. 15c. 1/4 Lb. 20c.

Very familiarly known 

 as the Pie Plant. 

 Rhubarb is the first article of the season from the garden; cultivated 

 to a great extent, and is indispensable where it is known. 



Culture. — Usually multiplied by division of roots. Plant four feet 

 apart each way, in very rich soil, and at least two feet deep. Rhubarb is 

 a gross feeder, and will make good use of the strongest manure, either 

 fresh or rotted. Pull as long as demand continues, which is usually 

 one to two months. Cultivate well and top dress liberally twice a year 

 — in early Spring and at the end of the pulling season. Plants are easily 

 grown from seed. Should be two years old_ before transplanting.

HORSE RADISH 

 ROOTS. 



The best variety is produced from 

 small pieces of roots 4 or 5 inches in 

 length. These small roots will produce 

 good Radish fit for use in one season's 

 growth. Plant the set small end down, 

 where the slanting cut is, so that the 

 top will be 2 inches under the soil, and 

 in rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 

 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. The 

 soil should be very rich and well culti- 

 vated. It is hardy and may be left in 

 the ground until Spring before dig- 

 ging. A part of the crop may be pitted 

 late in the Fall if desired. A dozen 

 roots will give all that will be needed 

 for family use; as it constantly in- 

 creases, it is best to plant it in some 

 out-of-the-way corner of the garden.

265. Early White Bush Scalloped 

 or Patty Pan Squash. — We have 

 taken special pains to build up a 

 superior stock of this most useful 

 vegetable, and do not believe it is pos- 

 sible to get as true a strain elsewhere. 

 Good size, uniform, a heavy cropper, 

 and extra early. The skin is white 

 and the flesh fine-grained and tender. 

 It is dwarf in habit, very hardy, hav- 

 ing a rind of hard texture, which 

 makes it exceedingly suitable for 

 shipping. Those who have tried pur 

 superior stock are loud in their praises 

 of its merits. We want you to try it 

 this year. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c.

271. Henderson's Long* Island Wnite Bush Squash.— The white scal- 

 loped "Patty Pan" or "Cymling" has for years been a favorite summer Squash, 

 on account of its earliness, etc., but this new sort is a vast improvement; 

 it is nearly as early, more prolific and the Squashes are much deeper, 

 and have less prominent scallops, consequently are easier prepared, 

 contain less waste and almost twice the amount of flesh, which is also 

 of finer qualitv. The plants are of the true bush habit. Packet 5c

272. Early Prolific Orang'e Marrow.— A comparatively new Fall or Winter 

 variety. It is shaped somewhat like Boston Marrow, but it is a decided im- 

 provement, being earlier and more productive, which commends* this variety 

 to market gardeners; its brilliant orange-red color and fine keeping and cook- 

 ing qualities make it popular with the consumer; rind is hard but thin; nesh 

 deep, fine-grained and of delicate quality. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c. 2 Ozs. 15c
