VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^ 



H enderson's Delicata Squash. 



For both summer and winter use. Dry, sweet and rich. 

 Wonderfully prolific. 



DELICATA is the earliest of any vine Squash, maturing but 

 a few days later than the summer varieties, and it will doubt- 

 less largely supplant the latter class, as Delicata is far su- 

 perior in quality, being as dry, sweet and richly flavored as 

 most winter Squash. The fruits, although of small size, are 

 very solid and heavy, and are borne with remarkable free- 

 dom; twelve hills of two plants each gave us 352 perfect 

 squashes last season. Seed cavities very small; flesh fine- 

 grained ; surface color, orange splashed with green. Properly 

 stored thev keep well through the winter. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 16c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



"I want nothing more delicious j or my own use than your beautiful little 

 Delicata Squash." JOHN F. WIELANDY, Santa Fe, New Mexico. 



"I have planted your Delicata Squash for seven or eight years and can truly lay 

 it is the best all-seasons Squash I lime hit used. / never cared much for Squash 

 but could 'eat my weight,' so to speak, in Delicata. at any time." 



F. B. SWIFT, Danbury. Conn. 



"I had your Delicata Squash once, and I want them again. Best Squash 1 

 ever ate." Dr. J. H. T. McDOWELL. Marlin, Texas. 



"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 pro- 

 duced twenty sweet, perfect Squashes." JOHN P. RHODES, Rahway, N. J . 



Henderson's Heart O'Gold Squash 



Strong, healthy grower. 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 a strong grower, almost borer- 

 proof, and a prolific bearer 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.) 10c. pkt., 25c. 

 oz., 75c. i lb., $2.50 lb. 



"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 30 lbs. each." 



Mrs. E. A. WOLCOTT, Tallmadge, Ohio. 



' '/ write particularly to tell you about our Heart 

 O'Gold Squash; it is certainly the very best 

 squash we have ever eaten — dry, fine-flavored 

 and thick-meated." 



G. E. STOPFORD, Amherst, Can. 



"The Heart O'Gold Squash is not only good 

 eating, but is magnificent in appearance when 

 ripe, a noble production surely; for an exhibition 

 they are also A 1 ."

GREGORY'S 



Delicious Squash. 



'T'HIS new fall and winter Squash 

 ■*■ resembles the old Hubbard, 

 having a dark olive-green hard shell ; 

 average weight between five and 

 ten pounds. Seed cavity small, flesh 

 exceedingly thick, compact, fine- 

 grained; color, golden-orange. The 

 paramount merit of this variety is 

 surpassing quality. The flesh is 

 meaty, granulated, tender and almost 

 of mealy dryness, cooking sweet and 

 rich, whether steamed, baked, boiled 

 or made into pies. This variety may 

 be used in the fall but in winter the 

 quality is at its best. Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. J lb., $2.00 lb. 

 HUBBARD SQUASH. (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. 

 Properlv stored it may be kept from September to May. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 35c. \ lb., $1.00 lb. 

 LARGE WARTED HUBBARD SQUASH. A very large strain 

 of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the excellent features 

 of the parent, with the additional merits of thicker flesh, 

 finer color, increased size, better constitution and productive- 

 ness, but its superlative merit is the hard, rough or warty 

 shell, which not only indicates superior quality, but renders 

 it one of the best winter keepers. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 

 40c. i lb., $1.25 lb. 

 GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH. Similar to the old Hubbard 

 in growth, form, size and productiveness. Skin of a rich 

 orange-red and heavilv warted, highly attractive and of extra 

 fine quality. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 lb.
