ELICATA 

 SQUASH 



HENDERSON'S 



Heart O' Gold Squash. 



Strong, Healthy Vine. Bountiful Yielder. The best for pies and cooking. Deep, solid, 

 fine-grained flesh of brilliant reddish'Orange ; quality, flavor and dryness unequaled. 



THIS is one of the best autumn and winter squashes — a good keeper. The vine is of 

 strong growth, almost borer-proof, and produces a fine crop of large reddish- 

 orange squashes, weighing from 25 to 35 lbs. each. The flesh is golden-red, very 

 deep, fine-grained, sweet and dry, and of the finest flavor, either boiled, steamed, 

 baked, or in pies. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 5Cc. >. t lb., $1.50 lb. 



"I wish to say that on two vines of your Heart o' Gold Squash we railed eight squashes; five of them averaged 

 S5 pounds each and the other three 28 pounds each. They look the first premium at our County Fair, and were 

 objects of much comment and greatly admired " J AS. W. HINDWOHL, Leetown, W . Va. 



"We had a Heart o' Gold Squash in our garden that weighed 100 pounds; it was quite a curiosity about here, 

 so we had it photographed and send you a copy. On another vine from the same plant there are three squashes 

 that will reach at least 50, 40 and SO lbs. each." Mrs. E. A. WOLCOTT, Tallmadge, Ohio. 



" The Heart o' Gold Squash is not only good eating, but is magnificent in appearance when ripe, a noble pro- 

 duction surely; for an exhibition they are also A 1." AUGUSTUS STORY, Uxbridge, Mass.

Large Warted Hubbard Squash 



A very large strain of the famous Hub- 

 bard, retaining all the excellent features 

 of the parent, with the additional 

 merits of thicker flesh, finer color, in- 

 creased size, better constitution and 

 productiveness. It has an extremely 

 hard, tough and densely- war ted shell, 

 which not only indicates superior qual- 

 ity, but renders it one of the best winter 

 keepers. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c.

SWISS CHARD, 



or Spinach Beet. 



This type of beet is grown for its 

 large, succulent, tender leaves and stems. 

 The thick, fleshy leaf stalks are cooked 

 and served like asparagus, and are most 

 delicious. The young leaves are boiled 

 like spinach, are much esteemed as a 

 fresh vegetable or "greens" for summer 

 and autumn use. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 

 oz., 25c. M lb., 75c. lb. 



THE FINEST FLAVORED SQIJASH 

 GROWN FOR EITHER SUMMER 

 OR WINTER USE. DRY, SWEET AND 

 RICH. : : WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC. 



DELI CAT A is the earliest of any vine 

 Squash, maturing but a few days 

 later than the summer varieties, 

 and it will doubtless largely supplant 

 the latter class, as Delicata is far superior 

 in quality, being as dry, sweet and richly 

 flavored as any winter squashes. The 

 fruits, although of small size, are very 

 solid and heavy, and are borne with re- 

 markable freedom; twelve hills of two 

 plants each gave us 352 squashes of ex- 

 cellent quality. Seed cavities very small ; 

 flesh fine-grained ; surface color, orange 

 splashed with green. Properly stored they 

 keep well through the winter. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. }. t lb., 

 $1.00 lb. 



"I want nothing more delicious for my own use 

 than your beautiful little Delicata Squash." 

 JOHN F. WIELANDY, Santa Fe, New Mexico. 



' '/ have planted your Delicata Squash for seven 

 or eight years and can truly say it is the best all- 

 seasons Squash I have ever used. I never cared 

 much for Squash, but could 'eat my weight,' so to 

 speak, in Delicata, at any time." 



F. B. SWIFT, Danbury, Conn. 



"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." 

 JOHN P. RHODES, 

 Rahway, N. J.
