SQUASH. 



Scalloped, or . . . 

 "Pattypan" Squash. 



HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND WHITE BUSH. 



A few years ago, one of the most prominent Long 

 Island market gardeners brought into our store 

 specimens of a Squash which ho had been growing 

 for several years, and which he found would sell in 

 the New York markets at higher prices than any 

 other sort. It was a selection of the old White 

 Bush Scallop, and a vast improvement, having less 

 prominent ridges and being much deeper, so that a 

 single Squash would actually contain nearly twice 

 as mucli weight for the same cubic measurement as 

 the old sort. In addition to this, it is of finer quality 

 and very prolific. We can strongly recommend this 

 variety. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. % lb., 

 80c. lb. 



GOLDEN CUSTARD BUSH. Exceeds in size any 

 of the scalloped sorts, frequently two feet in 

 diameter. A dark rich golden yellow. Quality 

 excellent. It grows in bush form, wonderfully 

 productive. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c J4 lb., 70c. lb. 



SILVER CUSTARD. A fitting companion to the 

 Golden Custard Bush Squash. Grows to an im- 

 mense size, often producing single Squashes 18 

 inches in diameter, of a delicate white color, and 

 of finest quality. Very productive. 10c. pkt., 15c. 

 oz., 30c. J4 lb., 70c. lb. 



WHITE BUSH SCALLOPED. "Cymling." This 

 and the Yellow Bush Scalloped are esteemed the 

 earliest, and are grown almost exclusively for 

 first crop. Prom the hard texture of the rind it is 

 well suited for shipping, and they are grown exclu- 

 sively at the South for that purpose. 5c. pkt., 10c.

 white only in color. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. % lb.,

MAMMOTH BUSH SUMMER CROOKNECK. The crookneck class 



of Squashes surpasses in quality any of the summer varieties, and in

" The Mammoth Summer Crookneck Squash succeeded well with me, and pleased ineso 

 much that I wouldliketoprocnre more ofthesamcseeil I receiveil, if possible. This Squash 

 is not only early, but of particularly good quality for a summer Squash, and jiroiluces 

 most attractive golilen-oraugi • Squashes; they would lake a premium at any fair for their 

 beauty, and besides they were the most vigorous ami productive among seven or eight 

 other varieties that I grew." E. T. Kirby,

 si. I. red the best flavored of the summer varieties. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz.,

 HENDERSONS NEW -'CREAM-COLORED" CROOKNECK. Anew, 

 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 live 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 agreeable 

 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. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. % lb., 80c. lb. 

 VEGETABLE MARROW. A favorite English sort. The fruit is very vari- 

 able in size, from nine to eighteen inches in length, and from four to six 

 inches in diameter. Skin a greenish yellow, flesh white, soft and of rich 

 flavor. This is entirely distinct from all other varieties of Squash. Plant 

 eight feet apart. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., !0c. % lb., $1.00 lb.
