HENDERSON'S “DELIGATA” SQUASH ‘35eorertaee 
. The Most Deliciously-Flayored Squash Grown. Dry, Sweet and Rich. Wonderfully Prolific. 
The exterior of this beautiful Squash is orange-yellow, splashed and striped with dark green. 
The flesh is rich and dry; the quality is particularly fine. For private use we can recommend it as 
surpassing in richness of flavor any of the large, old-fashioned sorts. The Delicata is the earliest 
of any vine Squash that we have ever tested, and is so prolific that last season, from twelve hills of 
two plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were gathered; it is of small size, but this is a desirable 
feature as it is not too large for an ordinary family. This variety is wonderfully solid and heavy, 
the seed cavities being very small; it is also extremely early, maturing about the same time as the 
‘Summer Squashes, and for early use will doubtless supplant this class on account of its superior 
dryness and flavor, while its extreme solidity renders it fully as good a keeper as any of the winter 
varieties. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c.

“T cannot let another day go past without 
letting you know how we have enjoyed your 
‘Delicata’ Squash. 1 consider it one of the best 
Squashes ever sent out. It brings one in mind 
of the English Vegetable Marrow, only 50 per 
cent. better. A good grower and good cropper.”’ 
ROBERT CARRUTHERS, Gardener, 
Estate of Frederick Billings, Woodstock, Vt. 
“We tried your ‘ Delicata’ Squash last season 
and think they are far ahead of anything else 
in the Squash line. They are correctly named.”’ 
GELON HANN, Port Gibson, Miss. 
“T never enjoyed myself eating Squash as well 
as your ‘Delicata’ Squash, so dry, so rich and 
so sweet. We havea few of them yet.” 
K. P. TINKHAM, Topeka, Kans.

WARTED LARGE 
HUBBARD SQUASH. 
/AUTUIIN and WINTER SQUASH 
HUBBARD. (Henderson’s Superior Strain.) This old and popular 
favorite is still one of the very best winter squashes grown; flesh 
deep golden yellow and fine-grained, and whether boiled, steamed or 
baked it is always richly flavored, sweet and dry. The vines are 
strong, luxuriant growers and very productive, yielding large, heavy 
squashes of dark bluish green color, weighing often 10 to 25 
lbs. each. Properly stored it may be kept from September 
to May. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 14 lb., 90c. Ib. 
“T 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.”’

ANEW WARTED LARGE HUBBARD. A very large strain of WH : 
& the famous Hubbard, retaining all of the excellent features of the ‘ 
parent, with the additional merits of thicker flesh, finer color, 
increased size, better constitution and productiveness, but its 
superlative merit is the hard rough or warty shell, which not only in- 
dicates superior quality, but renders it 
one of the best winter keepers among 
squash. (See cut.) 10c.
