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. oz., 40c. 4 Ib., 
$1.00 lb. . 
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., 
15¢e. oz., 40c. 14 1b., $1.00 lb.

SQUASH. 
LONG ISLAND WHITE BUSH. 
A selection of the old White 
Bush Scallop, and a vast im- 
provement, having less prom- 
inent ridges and being much 
deeper, so that a single 
Squash actually contains 
nearly twice as much weight 
as the old sort. In addition 
to this, itis of finer quality 
and very prolific. 10c. pkt., 
20c. oz., 35c. 14 1b., 90c. lb. 
GOLDEN CUSTARD BUSH. 
Exceeds in size any of the 
scalloped sorts, frequently two 
feet in diameter. A dark rich 
golden yellow. Quality excel- 
lent. It grows in bush form, 
wonderfully productive. 10c. pkt.,

panion to the Golden Custard Bush

diameter, of a delicate white color, and of 
finest quality. Very productive. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c.

WHITE BUSH SCALLOPED. ‘Cymling.’’ This and the Yellow 
Bush Sealloped are esteemed the earliest, and are grown almost exclu- 
sively for first crop. From the hard texture of the rind it is well suited 
for shipping, and they are grown exclusively at the South for that 
purpose. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 14 Ib., 60e. Ib.

WHAT OUR.... 
customers tank -- Henderson’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 particularly 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.” 
“7 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, 
_ the Squash running in size from 10 to 25 Ibs. each.”
