HENDERSON’S NEW ‘“CREAM-COLORED” CROOKNECK. | 
A new, beautiful and distinct variety of the old favorite Summer 
Crookneck. It has a compact, bushy habit, producing Squashes 
twice the size of the common sorts, the average length being 
eighteen inches to two feet, and they often weigh five and six 
pounds each. The cream-colored exterior is very attractive. 
Although so much larger than the old variety, it is equally 
early and very productive; flesh dry and of a most agree- 
able flavor, especially so when picked at the right time 
(as all Squashes of this class should be), before the 
shell has formed or can be broken by the thumb 
nail. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 30c. 14 Ib., 80c. Ib. 
VEGETABLE MARROW. A favorite 
English sort. The fruit is very variable in 
size, from nine to eighteen inchesin length, 
and from four to six inches in diameter. 
Skin a greenish yellow, flesh white, soft 
and of rich flavor. . This is entirely dis- 
tinct from all other varieties of Squash. 
Plant eight feet apart. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 
15c. 0z., 40c. 14 lb., $1.00 1b.

WHAT OUR.... 
customers Tink “** HENGEPSON’S squash seed. 
«© The Mammoth Summer Crookneck Squash succeeded well with me, and pleased 
meso much that I would like to procure more ofthe same seed I received, if possible. 
This Squash is not only early, but of pa rtiicularly good quality for a summer 
Squash, and produces most attractive golden-orange Squashes; they would take a 
premium at any fair for their beauty, and besides they were the most vigorous and 
productive among seven or eight other varieties that I grew.” 
““Henderson’s Delicata Squash is a wonderful Squash. It is one of the most 
deliciously fine-flavored Squashes I ever ate. Two hills of three vines each produced 
twenty sweet, perfect Squashes.” 
“T wish you could have seen the field of Hubbard Squash that I grew from your 
seed. It was a wonder to every one. Lots of people asked me where I got my seed. 
I told them of Peter Henderson of New York—that all my seeds grow just that way. 
I had a field of five acres of Hubbard Squash. They were immense in every way, é = 
the Squash running 1n size from 10 to 25 Ibs. each.” = = = = =
